[Wayback/Archive] EASY way to FIX Plastic THREADS !! #screw #repair #plastic – YouTube

  1. Around the screw, wrap a thin metal wire that exactly matches the thread groove width of the screw creating a metal thread.
  2. Heat the screw with metal wire thread, then force it into the broken plastic thread.
  3. Wait for it to cool down.
  4. Unscrew the screw from the metal wire thread.

archive.today: On the trail of the mysterious guerrilla archivist of the Internet – Gyrovague

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/23

I pulled this post forward from the blog queue in light of the recent Archive Today controversy (which started because of the Gyrovague article mentioned below). Please note that in this controversy, the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive plays no role: it is purely about the Archive Today behaviour. Apart from this remark above the line I left this blog post in the original form I wrote it in, as I liked it a lot and quite a few published and queued blog posts still depend on it.

From a while back, but still a historic relevant article: [Wayback/Archive] archive.today: On the trail of the mysterious guerrilla archivist of the Internet – Gyrovague
