With computers in the hands of dinosaurs

Believe in posts and share fake news
Until their brains have turned to ooze
Befriending every fraud and bot
So that their minds are sure to rot

It's still taking a long ass time to archive anything. I don't know why it's being like this, because before it usually archived a webpage a couple seconds after I clicked the "Save" button.

It isn't archiving direct image/video links from Imgur anymore. Instead, it's now redirecting the archive to the gallery link for the image/video, making it completely unviewable. Can't say I'm surprised.

Save Page Now Down?

I'm trying to archive important websites. Few days later, saving pages works fine. But in last night, yesterday, it cause 404 error for no reason whatsoever. Next day, it shows starting in 2 hours when service is overloaded while saving pages. And few hours later, it went down. What's going on right now? Does Internet Archive/Wayback Machine down? It seems like it's still maintenance.

Another issue

Whenever I look at an archived page, it changes the URL so it removes the / between "web" and the date (for example, changing "web/20230000000000" to "web20230000000000"), so if I reload the page it says "Not Found, the requested URL was not found on the server."

Shitback Machine

So I just tried archiving a page that was about 4 GB in size, but it said "File is over the 2 GB size limit", yet I found a file archived a couple months ago on the Wayback Machine that was over 3 GB and works perfectly fine. -_- Don't really appreciate you lying to me, buddy

Not. Happy.

So despite the IA/Wayback Machine being the biggest archive site in the world with over 800 billion webpages saved, it can't archive pages more than 2 GB in size (IE some Mediafire pages). Nice
