Soon this is a thing of the past, but for just a few more days, you can help: Archiving Google+.
Either run this project: [WayBack] GitHub – ArchiveTeam/googleplus-grab: Archiving Google+.
Or even better: run the appliance, and help the WayBack machine with any archiving projects setup by the virtual appliance: the [WayBack] ArchiveTeam Warrior – Archiveteam.
See some of their other pages for more background information:
You can donate both to the archive team, and the internet archive:
How is G+ archiving doing?
The tracker is well under way: [WayBack] Googleplus tracker Dashboard. History: archive.is 1; archive.is 2
Viewing is simple, but what about saving?

The WayBack machine has a few APIs (see[WayBack] Wayback Machine APIs | Internet Archive), and includes support for [WayBack] JSONP – Wikipedia.
Example URLs for the most simple API:

I have a bunch of [WayBack] FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E | Overview | AVM International devices; this is the quickest way to install them as LAN -> WiFi bridge (connect ethernet to your LAN; use the WiFi as a bridge).
- Connect the FRITZ!WLAN to your LAN
- Connect the FRITZ!WLAN to power
- Connect your laptop to the WiFi SSID
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E with password 00000000 (that eight times a zero)
- Set your laptop with a fixed IP address
192.168.178.127 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.178.2 for WiFi.
- Connect to your FRITZ!WLAN at http://192.168.178.2
- Setup your FRITZ!WLAN for the first time (password, country) and have it reboot
- Logon to the FRITZ!WLAN
- Change the WiFI password and the SSID for 2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz channels (I use a different SSID for both as many Fritz!Box devices have both bad 2.4Ghz performance and a hard time to automatically switch from 2.4Ghz to 5.0Ghz on the same SSID automagically).
- Change your laptop to use DHCP on WiFi
- Reconnect to the Fritz!Box with the new SSID and password

A while ago, I write about Locally Administered Addresses: a few series of MAC addresses you can use on your local network: MAC address ranges safe for testing purposes (Locally Administered Address).
A while ago, I found ones in my network and ones in my WiFi SSID survey starting with FA:8F:CA. They did not show up in the Wireshark · OUI Lookup Tool nor their manufacturer database.
But with bit 7 turned off they start with F8:8F:CA which does show up as “F8:8F:CA Google, Inc.”
They appear to be Google devices, in my case Google ChromeCast ones, though they can also be Google Home ones.
Google does “magic” with networks, just look at a few of the links here:

Answering a good question on [WayBack] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+:
Q:
Kevin Powick: Why do so many of your posts have [WayBack] embedded in the text? I’ve never been able to figure it out.
A:
On the blog they point to WayBack URLs of the link that succeeds it because I found out that web pages nowadays last a lot shorter than they used to be so link-rot has increased big time.
I still need to write a bookmarklet that automates that process for me: verify if a page is in WayBack, if not: try to store it, if it fails, store it in Archive.is, then generate the full HTML for me to put in the blog.

Not sure when this happened but the CIDR list is no more [WayBack] https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt:

WhatsApp team
In the past it was the place to get the CIDR so you could either block or allow WhatsApp traffic: [earlier WayBack]
It is still widely cited as way to regulate WhatsApp traffic, for instance at these places:
Time to find an automated way to get the replacement list. Maybe the below helps (via [WayBack] Block facebook messenger and whatsApp on Dlink router – Super User)
