Revisited: Bookmarklet to save a page both in the WayBack machine and Archive.is (ending on the latter to solve a reCAPTCHA)
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/02
Quite a I while ago, I wrote Bookmarklet to save a page both in the WayBack machine and Archive.is (ending on the latter to solve a reCAPTCHA).
The bookmarklet has been very stable, but as of a week or so I need to press the Enter key for it to actually archive.
The reason is that Archive.is, also known as Archive Today, introduced a new URL parameter for auto-starting the archive of an URL.
The old one looked like this: https://archive.is/submit/?run=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Ffeed%2Fhistory%2Fcomment_history
The new one like this: https://archive.is/submit/?anyway=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Ffeed%2Fhistory%2Fcomment_history&submitid=auT7eAltRDxCOGSjdoRMhu3H9d91VEFlvjVztfvNU8XO0ccAhji5DvTyqQew6rfm
The new submitid URL 40 character base64 parameter is being checked in the back end. One way of obtaining one by loading https://archive.is/ then wait for it’s completion and grab it from there.
The alternative is to wait for the submit page to fully load, then find the “save” button via its HTML <input type="submit" value="save"> and press it.
So that’s on the todo list for the updated Bookmarklet of the above blog post.
For now, I just have to press the Enter key for each archived page, I wonder how long that will last (:
Oh: to get the “do you want to save the page again” URL you will have to know the canonical URL first, as that ID is in the again URL, see the bold bits here:
- https://archive.is/c6d09
- https://archive.is/c6d09/again?url=https://www.youtube.com/feed/history/comment_history

GitHub – rbwebdev/lemmings-page-404: My 404 page with a little game of Lemmings
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/26
Last week I wrote about Example how not to return a HTPP-500 result: Amazon DE – Tut uns Leid!.
Today I found https://archive.is/undefined which consistently returns a HTTP 404 in the HTTP result.
It reminded me of an old (well, what is old anyway <g>) post Best 404 page ever. back in the days (returning both 404 in the HTTP result and page content) I did not yet archive outgoing links (it took me a few more years to realise many URLs are ephemeral and have queued up a post on that for early next year), and found out the site has changed since then. Time for archived and updated links, and a repository too as by now the source has been published on GitHub:

Example how not to return a HTPP-500 result: Amazon DE – Tut uns Leid!
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/14
Amazon shows how not to return an HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error) result page: a page with content 500, but result HTTP 200 (OK).

html – What can cause Chrome to give an net::ERR_FAILED on cached content against a server on localhost? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/07
On my research list [Wayback/Archive] html – What can cause Chrome to give an net::ERR_FAILED on cached content against a server on localhost? – Stack Overflow
The reason what that back then this would fail (but worked in Firefox and Safari, and because I was in a hurry I didn’t research further): [Wayback/Archive] https://www.office.com/
This site can’t be reached
The webpage at https://www.office.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_FAILED
Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Mason Wheeler and [Wayback/Archive] Joel Davey.

linux – Get final URL after curl is redirected – Stack Overflow (plus some Twitter scraping tricks)
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/08/06
Sometimes I need [Wayback/Archive] Redirect Checker | Check your Statuscode 301 vs 302 on the command-line, so cURL to the rescue: [Wayback/Archive] linux – Get final URL after curl is redirected – Stack Overflow. The relevant portions of answers and comments further below.
TL;DR:
Since I prefer verbose command-line arguments (you can find them at the [Wayback/Archive] curl – How To Use on-line man page) especially in scripts this HTTP GET request is what works with Twitter:
% curl --location --silent --output /dev/null --write-out "%{url_effective}\n" https://twitter.com/anyuser/status/20https://x.com/anyuser/status/20
This failed (twitter dislikes HTTP HEAD requests):
% curl --head --location --silent --output /dev/null --write-out "%{url_effective}\n" https://twitter.com/anyuser/status/20https://twitter.com/anyuser/status/20
Notes
Given so many of my scripts now run on zsh, I added the new-line because of command line – Why does a cURL request return a percent sign (%) with every request in ZSH? – Stack Overflow. You can strip that bit.
Note that these do not perform client side redirects, so they do not return the ultimate originating URL https://x.com/jack/status/20 (which was the first ever Tweet on what was back then called twttr) as Twitter on the client-side overwrites window.location.href with the final URL. Similar behaviour for getting the Twitter user handle of a Twitter user ID, more on Twitter tricks below.

Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24
Very cool web site that I only discovered last year, with the clever name: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Drop a font!
Fonts aren’t uploaded,
they stay on your computer
Back then I used it to investigate some properties of SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout) fonts as sometimes editing a PDF is easier than manually entering/transcribing it in MuseScore.
Of course you can use local font tools, but this is far easier for occasional use.
The beta can do even more at the risk of bumping into bugs: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”
Note the colour matching of the text around the circle with the fondue background image.
Oh: it is open source too, written mainly in JavaScript, CSS and a tiny bits of HTML and Python, based on Vue.js and npm, and available as parts in the repositories of [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue · GitHub:
