Multiple failures of archive requests of my Joindiaspora content to Internet Archive

I'm seeing failures in archiving my posts to the Internet Archive from Joindiaspora

I'm using generated indices of my Joindiaspora posts to ensure that those posts are federated to Glasswings, as well as archived at the Internet Archive (which tends to be generally discoverable) and Archive.Today.

I'm submitting those requests manually for now.

I've seen two successive instances of failures to archive what are public posts, with the Internet Archive apparently unable to find the content by the URL.

IA's response when using the https://web.archive.org/save/<URL> submission is:

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

See screenshot.

The posts in question:

• https://joindiaspora.com/posts/02aec490cfdb0139a5bb002590d8e506
• https://joindiaspora.com/posts/2af2c900d1fb0139ac2d002590d8e506

(This has just begun occurring, there may be more to come, I'm keeping tabs on failures as they occur.)

Archival at Archive.Today has been succeeding, see:

• https://archive.is/https://joindiaspora.com/posts/02aec490cfdb0139a5bb002590d8e506
• https://archive.is/https://joindiaspora.com/posts/2af2c900d1fb0139ac2d002590d8e506

Whether this represents an issue on the part of Archive.org, or actiions by Joindiaspora's administrator(s), who've ... been increasingly personally hostile to me in recent weeks, is not clear.

Again, this is my own content, and manual requests.

Observation on archival sites: Archive.Today vs. Internet Archive

Some of my followers may have noted I've been archiving a number of older posts from my previous account of late....

In doing this, I've noticed a few things about Archive.Today (a/k/a Archive.Is) and the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

It turns out that Archive.Today is really convenient to invoke with DDG set as my default search engine as I simply highlight the navigation bar for a page, prepend the "!ais" bang search to the head of the URL (followed by a space) and hit return.

Archive.Today helpfully offers links for other potential archive sites, including the Internet Archive, so I don't have to independently call up that URL.

Archive.Today responds very quickly. There's a practically instant response that the page is or is not archived, and if not, the "save" form also pops up nearly instantly.

By contrast, the Internet Archive takes a few seconds to respond whether or not the page is archived, and a few further seconds when requesting a page be saved.

(Both sites have a two-stage submission. The Internet Archive does have a submission URL which should work in one fell swoop, though it occasionally breaks and error-detection is ... difficult.)

Archive.Today's processing queue ranges from 0 to 10k or so slots.

The Internet Archive is currently reporting ~10 hours to process archival requests.

AT does include comments on Diaspora* posts. IA does not.

My manual workflow has evolved to:

• Pull up page, reload in Diaspora* (otherwise cookies may not be current, forcing a log-out / log-in cycle, also annoying).
• Mark the post "tagged" to indicate it's been archived. I typically also "like" it to set a sharper visual indicator.
• Prepend '!ais ' to the navigation bar and hit <enter>.
• Open "Search in Internet Archive" in a new tab, then select that tab to get IA working on finding the post.
• Switch back to the Archive.Today tab and select save, then confirm. At that point the request is processing.
• Switch back to the Internet Archive tab, wait for the page to fully load, request archive, wait for that page to load, confirm, and wait for the request to return.
• Even after this stage, the IA request may still fail. Detecting this is ... difficult.

I may also save content from the original (JoindiasporaCom) address, though mostly I'm working through Glasswings. I have run an automated submission of all my posts from the take-out JSON archive, and will run that another time or so before final shutdown. That will at least preserve post content online, but not the comments threads :-(

Hopefully this information may be useful to others.

The Internet Is Rotting - Too much has been lost already. The glue that holds humanity’s knowledge together is coming undone, and it's affecting court cases and more

As far back as 2001, a team at Princeton University studied the persistence of web references in scientific articles, finding that the raw number of URLs contained in academic articles was increasing but that many of the links were broken, including 53 percent of those in the articles they had collected from 1994. Thirteen years later, six researchers created a data set of more than 3.5 million scholarly articles about science, technology, and medicine, and determined that one in five no longer points to its originally intended source. In 2016, an analysis with the same data set found that 75 percent of all references had drifted.

Deletion isn’t the only issue. Not only can information be removed, but it also can be changed. Before the advent of the internet, it would have been futile to try to change the contents of a book after it had been long published.

So yes it is a very real problem and due to the decentralised nature of the Internet sites, blogs, books, and even government sites get deleted and changed. On the site/hosting side this will not change, so right now our hope really lies in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (and that it keeps getting funding) and efforts like Amberlink, as it is unlikely that any legislation will change this reality. The fact is, we are doomed to lose a lot of human knowledge though the Internet, at least for now.

Saving of public Google+ content at the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine by the Archive Team has begun

TL;DR: Most public Google+ content should live on at the Internet Archive thanks to a fanatical bunch of volunteers, and you can help.

Rather more at the link 😃
