A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Have not contributed enough to Wikipedia! I'd like to implement this on links I come across.

How does one get an Archive link for a specific date and website? I tried snooping around but am not familiar

Wikipedia has guidance for it as Citing sources. Regarding web links specifically section Handling links and Preventing and repairing dead links.

The Web Archive "Wayback Machine" is available at web.archive.org. It has a "Save Page Now" action too.

https://web.archive.org/web/*/beehaw.org gives you a history of archived versions of that URL.

The Web Archive "Wayback Machine" is a project from archive.org, which does much more in archiving and accessibility efforts. An alternative service for websites is https://archive.ph/.
