  Ok I know it's off topic but I have got to ask, what is up with archive.md links? I have never in my life successfully loaded an archive.md URL. I either get straight up DNS errors or very occasionally I see a spinner that never finishes loading. Yet they must work for others because they're constantly being posted here.

    Cloudflare DNS blocks

      Huh. Any idea why?

      Why would it do that FFS ?
      • ricardobeat 5y ago
        Cloudflare doesn't block them, Archive.is intentionally refuses to resolve DNS queries from 1.1.1.1 due to lack of geo information. See explanation here: https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/ https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/

        It doesn't/its complicated.
    • forgotmyoldacc 5y ago
      The website blocks Cloudflare DNS, not the other way around.
    • jffry 5y ago
      That's untrue, you can see Cloudflare's explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702 Short version: The Archive.is authoritative DNS servers do not give correct addresses to Cloudflare when Cloudflare asks for them

    Maybe you're using cloudflare dns? https://community.cloudflare.com/t/archive-is-error-1001/18227 https://community.cloudflare.com/t/archive-is-error-1001/182...

      I am, on all of my devices. Interesting.

        A great example of why you as a techie should be using your own recursive resolver.

      Can someone explain in English what is going on here? I thought I understand DNS but I guess I don't.
      • ianai 5y ago
        For Cloudflare DNS servers the archive.md DNS server tells them the URL is not configured. It's configured to change according to which DNS server queries it by location/IP. It's not something Cloudflare can fix unilaterally. (or something like that) edit: elsewhere linked is an explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702

    I wish we have archive.md automatic for each post...
  • yosito 5y ago
    They usually help with sites that go down under a heavy traffic load, or that have a paywall.

    Are you using Cloudflare DNS? The archive.is owners intentionally block it. It's occasionally blocked at the ISP level too.

  After opening this url on my phone, it waits three seconds and then shows me a scam ad scaring me into purchasing a fake android cleaner app.

    Same for me. Full page add, no way to close.
