I appreciate you putting out an alternative link.
Unfortunately I cannot access archive.is (shows a Cloudflare page with Google reCaptcha).
Why not using the more well known archive.org instead?
Also IIRC archive.is is hard to access for some users depending on the DNS server they're using.
- soneca 5y agoI get those from time to time. Isn’t just solving the captcha enough to reach the page?
- Psychedelicly 5y agoThis is dependent on a host of things, such as OP using a VPN lol. A lot of people are opting away from Google as a standard, to add to that, American websites are a real pain when it comes to harvesting personal information and as such when you see a horrific anti-user gdpr notification you just ... Leave. Same with constant captcha. I'd like to see stats on websites using OneChoice or whatever its bs name is. For a site called hackernews there sure is a large lack of care regarding personal information.
- mastazi 5y ago> Isn’t just solving the captcha enough to reach the page? sure but why not using an alternative service that doesn't have the reCaptcha to start with? Edit: Just to explain more the problem: depending on your privacy settings, it might take up to a couple minutes to solve the reCaptcha because Google makes it much harder for users who are running anti-fingerprinting tools in their browser. This is also my case. In the end, I usually just give up and don't visit the page in question.
