Winter 2022, the Embarcadero docwiki (their most active site which contains all documentation for all their products) was down. Twice. First for a week, then parts of it for almost a week, then only parts of the Alexandria got up in a stable way.
Back then I published The Delphi documentation site docwiki.embarcadero.com has been down/up oscillating for 4 days is now down for almost a day.. The product and library documentation for the most recent version got back up in a week, but the Code Examples and older product versions took much longers.
Usually once learns way more about a system when it is failing then when it is working. That was the case this system as well.
Documenting the failing system took considerable time, but would have taken way more if not for these two JavaScript browser bookmarklets:

For my link archive is the below answer that should help me a lot with unfinished bits from Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs.
Goal of that post was to have some grounding and eventually find a means to build an HTML page in a new tab using a bookmarklet that I then later could post to my blog.
Assembling to HTML and putting it on the clipboard might be a lot easier and better fitting in my workflow.
So, via [Wayback/Archive] javascript copy html to clipboard – Google Search, for my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Javascript – Copy string to clipboard as text/html – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Loilo for answering and [Wayback/Archive] kofifus for asking):
Below is a function that will do exactly that. I tested it with your required browsers, it works in all of them. However, IE 11 will ask for confirmation on that action.
Explanation how this works can be found below, you may interactively test the function out in this jsFiddle.

Since mail mostly “works” I use these below commands only very little and tend to forget them.
Luckily they were documented at [Wayback/Archive] Viewing email in Linux using postfix’s mailq and postcat | Jeff Geerling
Here are the most common commands I use when either developing or troubleshooting email in production:
mailq – print a list of all queued mailpostcat -vq [message-id] – print a particular message, by ID (you can see the ID along in mailq‘s output)postqueue -f – process the queued mail immediatelypostsuper -d ALL – delete ALL queued mail (use with caution—but handy if you have a mail send going awry!)
Via [Wayback/Archive] postfix process queue – Google Search two interesting answers (thanks [Wayback/A] Nicolas for asking):

As I promised a few months back in Bookmarklets for Archive.is and the WayBack Machine to go to the original page, moar JavaScript fiddling, this time with XPath based bookmarklets to navigate from Archive.is pages to Saved From, Redirected from, Via and Original pages.
An alternative would be using XPath as the additional fields are always structured in a table like the html below (taking complex pages like https://archive.ph/5iVVH and https://archive.ph/2015.11.14-044109/http://www.example.org/ as an example).
I got triggered to using XPath from this answer from [Wayback/Archive] gdyrrahitis at [Wayback/Archive] Javascript .querySelector find by innerTEXT – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] passwd for asking):

Boy, two extra modifier keys: [Wayback/Archive] How to Strip Formatting When You Copy and Paste Text: 5 Ways
To paste as plain text on a Mac, you can use the somewhat cumbersome shortcut Option+Cmd+Shift+V to paste without formatting. This is a system-wide shortcut, so unlike Windows, it should work everywhere. Technically, the shortcuts pastes and matches the formatting, but this has the same effect of removing the original formatting.

Paste without formatting is an issue on Windows as well. The default should be “paste without formatting” instead of the current “paste with source formatting”. See for instance these tweets:
