Wikipedia deprecates archive.today after DDoS against blog, altered content

Wikipedia not having their own archives by now is a huge vulnerability.
Especially given the amount of money they’ve raised. Insane that at this point they didn’t have a system to automatically archive any sources automatically
archivebox.io exists, they need to get to self-hosting one asap
ArchiveBox

🗃 Open source self-hosted web archiving. Takes URLs/browser history/bookmarks/Pocket/Pinboard/etc., saves HTML, JS, PDFs, media, and more…

ArchiveBox

Them hosting their own archives of copyrighted articles would need to be non-public (for citation verification only), since if they did an archive.today-like public service, it would certainly get them sued by a constant carousel of copyright owners until they run out of money.

Archive.org might be a sign that most would look the other way, but given how tightly they are balanced between survival and oblivion, I don’t think that’s a good idea.
