It was a collection of silly quotes from IRC channels everywhere, many of which dated back to the 90s. It was rarely ever updated in the 2010s, but now, the URL no longer resolves.
Last capture was July 2023. https://web.archive.org/web/20230601000000*/bash.org
EDIT Someone archived all the quotes on the Internet Archive.
The internet archive is becoming one of the most valuable sites on the web, specially to avoid paywalled corpo pages.
What will we do when the internet archive goes down
thats okay, someone will have put all the information on an impossible to search for or browse discord server, that’ll surely last forever. /s
Join the crowd on tik tok I guess
Ok, I will need that off-grid cabin in the woods after all…
There’s the Internet archive archive. It’s being funded by all the excess donations that archive.org themselves can’t find a way to spend.
So when the internet archive archive goes down, we’ll have the internet archive archive archive as a backup? Neat.
Anyone who archives data so it wouldn’t be lost is MVP
I download the internet archive once every month and copy it to stone tablets. Even if the world’s electricity reserve runs out, we’ll still have those.
In unrelated news, I’m looking for people with access to big stone quarries.
