On Friday October 3, 2025, REALITY ORP performed virtually for the Internet Archive’s series, Essential Music: Concerts from Home. The series began in March 2020 as a way to kick off the Internet Archive’s virtual staff meetings with mini-concerts by artists across the globe, and due to high popularity, it has continued for over five years.

REALITY ORP is Andrei Jay and Paloma Kop. The Internet Archive is a vast, non-profit online library based in San Francisco and running for over 25 years.

Ever since #TheInternetArchive was caged and chained by the #Trump presidency, the #Wayback machine has been horribly dysfunctional. So many 503 errors that they should call it the 503 machine.

This is of course so they can control the flow of information, do a bit of historical revisionism and prevent the unearthing of facts, faux pas and self reporting - as fascists are want to do.

A quite entertaining movie by Bill Wilder, "The Notorious Landlady" with Kim Novak and Jack Lemmon besides Fred Astaire on the the Internet Archive:

Bonjour, connaissez-vous l'effet Streisand, et savez-vous pourquoi l'abonnement à un VPN devient de plus en plus nécessaire ?

Le Tribunal du Commerce de #Belgique a en effet décidé de bloquer #OpenLibrary, un service de #TheInternetArchive qui rend accessible de nombreux livres.

(N'hésitez pas à me recommander un fournisseur VPN sérieux et sûr, le repouet rend la vie belle)

Just noticed an issue with Look Over There!¹ where some of the sites I was forwarding to archive.org began to fail.

I’ve now documented the proper way to redirect to archive.org in Look Over There! and I also wrote a brief post on the relevant Reddit to alert the folks at The Internet Archive about this and suggest an improvement that could benefit findability on sites with redirects in general:
