After a little testing, this looks like a good information source, although the combination of Google Scholar and sci-hub is probably still the best option, i.e. I couldn't find anything with Internet Scholar that wasn't available with the other options, and the quality of results on searchs is somewhat higher with Google Scholar (this may be because Google Scholar utilizes citation count as a search parameter, which…

I tried to search for scientific authors from the 1800s and they're there.

Google Scholar on the other hand brings me to paywalls, even though the articles are so old they should be out of copyright.

Not from the IA, but see https://scholia.toolforge.org for an especially nice presentation of freely-available scholarly metadata.

You may also be interested in OpenAlex.org which also uses wikidata (along with DOIs, ORCIDs, ISSNs and a few other standard identifiers) to classify publications.

Is this so Wikipedia can be archived by the IA?

It's a joke. Hacker News doesn't like donating to Wikipedia; many choose to donate to Internet Archive instead.

HN doesn't mind donating to Wikipedia, they dislike donating to Wikimedia. That one letter is a big difference.

Some days, nearly half the links I click are dead so I've found myself relying on the waybackmachine more and more over the past few months. It's really shocking just how fast digital obsolescence reared its ugly head. Of course angelcites etc. were a clear early blow, but nowadays... I've started saving the html (including the css seems like too much overhead, and often it's incomplete or relies on downloads still -…

I wanted to say 'au contrer' to your 'screenshots are not searchable' and link this[0] but I don't actually see images in the readme.. I swear it was there, maybe it's a buried extra flag..

Is there really a way to donate specifically to Wikipedia? I've never seen it in any of the many, many threads.

Some people use this tool (of mine) for saving web content from either bookmarks or just everything you browse: https://github.com/crisdosyago/Diskernet There's also plent¥ of other similar tools: - https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox - https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

Beware the very strange and bad license for Diskernet, which is "Polyform Strict License 1.0.0"

Thank you for raising concerns about the licensing of Diskernet. I understand that the Polyform Strict License 1.0.0 may be unfamiliar to some users, but I believe that it offers several benefits.

First, my licensing protects my rights as the creator of Diskernet. I want to ensure that my hard work is not used or modified without my permission, especially in commercial settings. I believe this is a fair and reasonable request.

Second, my licensing allows individuals to use Diskernet for free for personal use. This means that anyone can download and use the tool to improve their own browsing experience, without any cost or obligation.

Third, my licensing allows businesses and organizations to purchase a license and use Diskernet for their own purposes. This allows me to continue improving and supporting the tool, while also providing businesses with a valuable tool for archiving and organizing their online content.

I understand that the Polyform Strict License may not be the most common licensing approach, but I believe it offers a good balance between the interests of the open source community and my rights as the creator of Diskernet. I hope you will consider giving my tool a try, and I believe you'll find it to be a valuable addition to your online browsing experience.

As far as I know there isn't... that's the problem.

This is amazing. Some of my grandfather's papers are on there. [1] He was a medical missionary in China and India. I doubt anyone in my family has had a chance to see these before. Quite a gift. I'm trying to get my grandmother's books onto there as well at some point.
