yes, in a way. this benzene ring
there was a band called Hum and in one of my favorite songs of theirs called The Scientists, the song talks about a couple who are scientists and creating and experimenting with drugs.
she tells him to keep this benzene ring around your finger, and think of me when everything you ever wanted is about to end
i fucking love that song but that moment in the song is just peak layers upon layers of music and poetry and love and adventure.

Wow, what a memory trip! I listened to that song, I don't think I have heard it before, but it is great! I'm pretty sure I heard a different song from them at the time, but they probably live in my mind from looking at BMG and CD warehouse catalogs at the time. Other artists have popped up over the years from there.
I'm glad I asked, and thanks for answering! Somehow that took me back to my Candlebox days.

I already gave up from Reddit long time ago. Deleted all
Yup, same here.

YouTube's already throttling users in their mobile site. They have these massive channel cards in their feeds and the video titles/thumbnails disappear after a few offerings, leaving you with the ability to blindly click on a video.
I've declared my YT channel to be dormant starting on the 13th due to this AI age-gating crap.

It is my understanding that if you block the wayback machine from indexing your site it will also delist the history as well.
The ability to block crawling is separate from the ability to delist old pages. The latter usually happens after domains change owners

their big hit was called Stars
oh yeah, I listened to Candelbox. They didn't put on a good live show sadly

Ya that was the one , i listened to it, also. The very beginning sounded very familiar but I'm not sure about the rest. But maybe it's been 30 years and, well
️ I never saw Candlebox live, guess I didn't miss out. I really liked Alice in Chains but only got to see Cantrell tour while "waiting" -

Ya 🫤 Jerry is still touring (I think). He was good live then, but the last time I saw him was like a month or two after Layne's death. It's been awhile. He's older, but so am I, and presumably you
His solo stuff was great. We ended up getting a lot of AiC stiff at that '02 show. Very solid performance. Not really related, but I've heard the Sublime stuff is good, but I wasn't ever that into them, just have a friend who has stuck with it. -

Fucking heroin.... fucking opioids. Ruined so many lives.

Damn, guess if you want reddit data to train your AI that you’ll need to pay Spez for access.
It's important for people writing papers and such who need to cite material.
I wonder if there's some way to use the TLS certificate to get a cryptographically-signed copy of a webpage with timestamp that someone could later validate as having been downloaded on that date. I don't know if existing TLS libraries are capable of that. Like, Web browser menu option "Store cryptographically-signed webpage". Absent a later certificate compromise, I'd think that that'd at least provide people a way to credibly say "this is really what was on that webpage on August 15th, 2026". Like, you'd have to save a copy of the TLS session and then have libraries that could read and validate an already-generated session. The timestamp is already embedded in the session.
Some protocols, like OTR, are designed to specifically not allow that, but AFAIK, TLS could.
EDIT: Well, technically the timestamp is gonna be during the handshake, not tied to the HTTP request internal to the TLS session. It might be possible to game that by establishing a TLS session, holding it open without activity, and issuing a request much later. I'd think that that'd potentially be disallowed by Web servers one way or another, since otherwise you could probably do a denial-of-service attack by holding open a lot of sessions for a long time.
EDIT2: Oh, wait, no, shouldn't be an issue, because the HTTP Date response header is gonna have a timestamp tied to the response.

Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform. YT is probably going to be the next platform I ditch as they're going full Reddit now.
It's a matter of time before third-party YT front-ends start getting throttled or outright blocked like third-party Reddit front-ends.
Time to use peertube

As somebody who often ends up using Reddit like Stackoverflow and in some cases needing the Internet Archive (IA) to find the original post after it’s been deleted or garbled, I think this is a wakeup call for those go to Reddit both to get technical help and to post it. More than ever, Reddit is becoming an unreliable place to find answers for old obscure issues and if they are going to lockout places like the IA then I think it’s time people stopped contributing their solutions to Reddit.
Searching anywhere in general is getting shittier and shittier by day. Web searches are riddled with hallucinated AI generated garbage pages. Finding the right answer for difficult problems is getting worse and worse. We are sliding rapidly into Idiocracy.

OK, I stopped posting on Reddit but left my account and comments in place because I considered them part of the public record. If Reddit is taking that record private, it’s time for me to start removing my content from the platform.
Does anyone know if historical Reddit content will remain in IA? If not, I’m going to have to back up years of content somewhere else.
You can't remove it. It's there forever.

When I joined Lemmy I decided it was unwise to trust anything on Reddit less than a year old. Now it's anything under two years old.

This post did not contain any content.
It’s another move to protect against AI scraping that isn't paying them for access.

Wrong.
You can request deletion of archived pages. -
Time to use peertube
And Invidious while being logged out of YT while that's still an option, but I have both a PeerTube and Odysee set up already.
I seem to have the best luck with the inv.nadeko.net instance and to a lesser extent the invidious.nerdvpn.de instance, and both instances proxy by default.

yup. continuing to feed them traffic after their repeated attacks on the userbase is just sad. stop using them. yeah it sucks the info is gone, but acting like they'll wake up and change is absurd.
-
Yup, same here.
this is the way.

Wrong.
You can request deletion of archived pages.And you think reddit actually deletes it? Risk data loss? All that valuable data? No way. They might shadow delete it, but it's there forever.
