Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That or it traps me in captcha hell and won't let me see anything. WTF, man?

Maybe something to do with how your network is configured? I've noticed that archive.is gets stuck in a captcha loop when I'm on my office network, but not at home.

it hates adblockers ironically enough.

I only get stuck in the captcha loop on my phone not on any other device myself. I'm using Firefox with a few privacy plugins and assume it's one of those not playing nice on mobile

It's Cloudflare's DNS. You're probably using it on your phone.

Ahh yeah the PiHole I have configured to use cloudflare which I only use on the phone. Ty.

Thank God I'm not the only one, I have not been able to access archive.is in a long time. I get stuck in a loop on their captcha. Disabled AdGuard, disabled Ublock, nothing.

It's because you're using Cloudflare's DNS. Same thing happens to me. Kinda comical that person linked this site in response to a complaint about CNN's site being inaccessible.

I’ve heard there’s some kind of issue with archive.is and Cloudfare DNS, if you’re using that. Some kind of incompatibility on the archive.is end where they’re blocking requests.
