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:

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):

As promised yesterday, I updated the scripts for Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs
Code (which broke at 20230914 because of WordPress.com changes: the undocumented HighlanderComments structure got removed; I will update the gist later on and post an updated blog post)
Instead of the undocumented HighlanderComments structure, I now use two (also undocumented) link rel elements.
In addition, I found this element that will be interesting in the future: <link rel='shortlink' href='https://wp.me/pvelJ-m8g' />.
You can view the change with the below archivals of the Wayback Machine and Archive.is.
And of course I learned a few things from these MDN entries:
The 20230530 archivals (Wayback/Archive) of wiert.me/2022/02/14/philosophy-of-management have this HighlanderComments structure:

For my link archive so I can better automate archiving Tweet threads using bookmarklets written in JavaScript:
The base will likely be this:
javascript:void(open(`https://archive.is/?run=1&url=${encodeURIComponent(document.location)}`))
which for now I have modified into this:
javascript:void(open(`https://threadreaderapp.com/search?q=${document.location}`))
It works perfectly fine without URL encoding and demonstrates the JavaScript backtick feature for template literals for which you can find documentation at [WayBack/Archive] Template literals – JavaScript | MDN.

I want to improve my WordPress blogging experience especially since most of the pages I link also have two extra links of the archived pages in the Wayback Machine and Archive.is.
The WordPress Press-This bookmarklet does not always cut it. It is slow too as it does a POST request to the WordPress site which then renders a new page.
It is also highly minified, so below are some links that will hopefully allow me to research it further to see if I either could improve it for my own workflow, or need to start from scratch.
I want to figure out:
- what the values of the
v= version parameter were (I know about v=8 and v=4, there are likely more)
- which commits were involved
- can I get more information (like summary, first heading or first paragraph of a page too)
- what techniques are used for opening new windows/tabs
TODO: make diffs of the various versions

TL;DR:
javascript:{h=location.href;open('https://archive.is/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(h));location.href='https://web.archive.org/save/'+(h)}

I am a keyboard user, so I love keyboard shortcuts. If these are unavailable, still do it by keyboard quicker than by mouse.
Based on various answers and comments in [Wayback/Archive] Shortcut to open specific bookmark / URL in Chrome – Super User my way to open Chrome bookmarks (from my vast collection) is this:
- Move focus to the url bar with ⌘+L (macOS) or Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux).
- Type the first part of the bookmark name.
- Press navigation keys to select the bookmark.
- Press enter to select the bookmark.
Thanks to these Super User users:

Maintaining a blog takes considerable time, so I wrote a bit of JavaScript for the browser console and bookmarklets to help me navigate faster, especially from my published posts on wiert.me back to the WordPress editing environment.
I wrote this because a query like [Wayback/Archive] wordpress get id from post html – Google Search top hits only contain results that work within the WordPress environment itself, like for instance [Wayback/Archive] 14 Ways to Get Post ID in WordPress.
This blog post is long and contains a lot of information, so I have split it in quite a few sections.
Let’s get started:

I quickly hacked together this JavaScript Bookmarklet today, so it is without any checks and assumes you have enabled one Mastodon account for publishing, that you are hosting your blog on WordPress.com, and using the Classic Editor:
javascript:(function(){
publicizeFormEditHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-edit');
publicizeFormEditHref.click();
mastodonCheckboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('wpas-submit-mastodon');
mastodonCheckboxes[0].checked = true;
publicizeFormHideHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-hide');
publicizeFormHideHref.click();
updateButtonHref = document.getElementById('publish');
updateButtonHref.click();
})();
The above code is the state of [Wayback/Archive] JavaScript Bookmarklet for the WordPress classic editor which enables mastodon publishing (assuming you have one mastodon publishing account enabled … ) and due to be improved in a later blog post.
This will enable the currently edited post to be published to Mastodon, then update/publish the post.
On enabling one Mastodon account for publishing:
