Ricky MondelloHave we really not yet standardized a “lttp:” protocol for linking to resources from The Wayback Machine? You know, a link to the past.
I fear that lots of people didn't realize that this was a joke.
Shantini@rmondello that’s kind of funny
Hunter Chorey 
ntakayama@rmondello I’ll admit I didn’t realize that’s what you nintended
Mark Bramhill@rmondello given I’m currently working on a website migration and finding lots of dead links to other sites I had complete tunnel vision lol
Aris Merquoni@rmondello I groaned loud enough I worried about waking my housemates
Richard@rmondello is it, though?
Eshu Marneedi@rmondello This is a good joke.
Jared Zimmerman ✨@rmondello its doesn't have to be....
Mingo 🦩 Hagen@rmondello people zeldamly do.
Tom Klaver 
@rmondello crap, I didn’t “get” it until I saw this. Genius!
Christoffer@rmondello maybe it’s not a joke and you’re just brilliant
Marcus Mendes@rmondello This should be the internet’s tagline.
benjohn@rmondello guilty as charged!
Tom@rmondello I’m not sure of the context, yet it doesn’t reduce its ring of truth.
We may have found a universal status message.
Gustavo Medori@rmondello can it be a joke and also something we do anyway?😅
a.Albi@rmondello
Has real "Right click, Send Link" vibes

But seriously, some of the best jokes have a great idea in them ☺️

Andrew Eades@rmondello That’s why it is so good!
@rmondello I like the concept, but a few quirks that come to mind
1) how would you specify a target date for the url?
2) using a capital i or lowercase L leads to chaos — impossible for me to read IoT correctly in a sans-serif font.

Sören@bramhill @rmondello perhaps the date could be passed as a user. lttp://[email protected]/path/to/oblivion
Doc Edward Morbius ⭕@chucker Given that WBM already has a date-specification syntax, with options for wildcards and (I think) date-ranging, this would be a sensible proposal.
I've been thinking for a bit now that URLs and especially domain names should have a date-specification, and that notions such as transfers, especially of personal domains, should be ... far less viable than they are now.
(Naming things is a Hard Problem, especially when it intersects with timey-wimey stuff.)
Simon Gredal@bramhill @rmondello for specifying the date, what about something akin to the format http basic auth uses: lttp://[email protected]/long_gone.html
The client could then translate the date into a request header.
Michael@rmondello make it happen. The Internet need whimsy like this again.
BenRiceM@rmondello I think Jeffery Zeldaman proposed that
Gary Owen
Bilal S. Sayed Ahmad@rmondello yes please.
Luka@rmondello And it should only allow pixelated BMP images as resources 😆. Jokes aside, I like the idea!
Aurynn Shaw@rmondello @Catfish_Man I am unreasonably angry that I didn’t think of this first.
mmu_man@rmondello there has been a Linux kernel module proposed for IPOT: IP Over Time:
https://perso.duckcorp.org/duck/mirrors/kadreg.free.fr/ipot/index.html
But I think it was a joke 😛
ch0ccyra1n is leaving fedi soon@rmondello this might be the closest thing for now:
bitsavers.orgsomeone also needs to track when things disappear from the Wayback Machine.
another reason for independently mirroring them.
waferbaby@rmondello (Amusingly, because companies are so garbage at keeping pages for retired products around, I've had to update a ton of links on usesthis.com to point to the Wayback Machine.)
[aware event]@d I can hear this picture.
deeje
Don Melton@rmondello That's not just world-class trolling, it actually makes sense. 😀
Dane Deasy@rmondello yes this should be real!
hammancheez@rmondello @angiebaby .zelda domain
Derek 🌈@rmondello lttps? 👩🚀

Regardless of the fate of this idea, what's great is that we're thinking creatively again about the possibilities of a human-scaled internet. The spell is dissipating!

C-richcan we work archive.is into this somehow too
Mark Gardner@rmondello It’s dangerous to browse alone! Take this cookie.
Eric Vitiello@rmondello you have to use an ocarina to activate the link?
Falcon Darkstar@rmondello you can sort of use wayback as an http proxy if you set to https://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDD/
Brood Tea@rmondello Kudos to that bit of cleverness
cthos 🐱@rmondello ….I kind of love this.
Oli@rmondello if Link to the Past is it, shouldn’t it be “zelda://“? :)
Ben@rmondello
Boooooooooooooooooooo (that's excellent)

jobelenus@rmondello this is brilliant
Captain Eden@rmondello I applaud this wonderful wordplay
vriska, thief of light 
@rmondello this would actually be a pretty cool way to implement a browser extension for RFC 7089 client support
Migrated to @@rmondello with a way to redirect to a self hosted one instead as well!
Dr. Guillermo Power 
@rmondello joke or not… I like it. Why should we be constrained by the tedious and steady advance of liner time in cyberspace? That’s lame… let us become temporal Gods!
⬆️ Shiftine! #vHackerUprising@rmondello What does that "l" mean in lttp?
@shiftine link to the past
