Besides manual upload at [Archive.is] Upload to Internet Archive, there are also automated ways of uploading content.
One day I need this to archive pages or sites into the WayBack machine: [WayBack] Overview of Client Libraries · Internet Archive (most of which is Python based):

A while ago, I bumped into problems updating UltraVNC through Chocolatey.
It is similar to issues with other packages I have seen in the past: sha256 hash mismatches of which the reported mismatch changes over time, though the version stays the same.
This was tracked down to the actual file download site now needing a correct HTTP referer header. Likely this is to stop automated downloads, which kind of back-fires as ultimately you want to automate download and installation of things as much as possible.
Anyway: this is the [Archive.is] thread (which cannot be archived as Disqus hates archiving in the WayBack machine, and archive.is often fails with it too):
The recent update to 1.2300 fails for me with a file hash error. The install script has
fe3d1135ae0e7b72394a6f3cc137282cb5e6382a55b5ceee72140d28f5ffe961, but the installer as downloaded, and verified via a separate download and hash check has5A42A24BED5A39ACA44443916E5B2C4C259CE8E843E90FD07F7AB3D26CB237C8

Since Chrome changes over time, the batch file below from [WayBack] Run chrome in fullscreen mode on Windows – Stack Overflow also changes:
@echo off echo Countdown to application launch... timeout /t 10 "C:\Program Files (x86)\chrome-win32\chrome.exe" --chrome --kiosk http://localhost/xxxx --incognito --disable-pinch --no-user-gesture-required --overscroll-history-navigation=0 exit
On most of my systems. Chrome is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, so I need to change the path anyway.
