This a good suggestion with the caveat that entire domains can and do disappear: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-som...


That's especially annoying when a formerly useful site gets abandoned, a new owner picks up the domain, then gets IA to delete the old archives as well.

Or even worse, when a domain parking company does that: https://archive.org/post/423432/domainsponsorcom-erasing-pri...


It's not mentioned here but Kapwork contributed the beginnings of this work in a PR a couple weeks ago: https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/pull/1437. Thank you Gregor & Magnus for the great tech and all you're doing for the community.

That's intriguing to the point I tried to find the relevant web site. Thanks for conveying your experience with it: http://web.archive.org/web/20080212005133/http://gpt.berlios...


For some URLs given one of their old Wayback Machine entries it would be nice to be able to render those in their contemporaneous browser environments (e.g., going way back maybe Mosaic 3.0 or IE 10) to maybe then have a chance of working with some close facsimile of the original interface and functionality.

Years ago a real estate agent driving me around to look at property relayed a somewhat pessimistic aphorism he'd picked up from his father: Life's a shit sandwich, the more bread you have the less it tastes like shit.


I feel like that would be better paired with the "dough" double meaning instead of bread. "Life's a shit pizza, the more dough you have the less it tastes like shit."


Bread is a synonym for dough in that meaning


dough is colloquialism for money, which makes the quote funnier due to the double entendre.


"Bread" is also a colloquialism for money. It's the same joke.


I have never heard any rapper refer to money as bread!


https://www.etymonline.com/word/Bread

> Slang meaning "money" dates from 1940s, but compare breadwinner, and bread as "one's livelihood" dates to 1719. Bread and circuses (1914) is from Latin, in reference to food and entertainment provided by the government to keep the populace content. "Duas tantum res anxius optat, Panem et circenses" [Juvenal, Sat. x.80].


Here is one where they use bread, dough and cheese to mean money: https://genius.com/105625


"Bread and Honey" is rhyming slang for Money.


so is bread.



Just fyi on the native front our team recently started work on npm package webcrypto-crypt in conjunction with some experiments utilizing IPFS hypermedia and modern web browsers. Maybe others will find it useful: https://www.npmjs.com/package/webcrypto-crypt
