Despite messages of the Internet Archive and Wayback Machine were fully up again after the DDoS in the last few days (usually starting at around 20:00 UTC, lasting for hours at a time, but today at 10:00 UTC), countermeasures of their password breach at the end of September and defacement yesterday, today they still had Wayback Machine archiving issues:

tTL;DR: Google Search also (after 3+ manual steps) showing the most recent Wayback Machine archived page for a web-page search result, helps tremendously for pages that are temporarily off-line (everyone knows how stable the cloud – someone else’s computers – or on-premise computing is), but takes too many steps and still doesn’t index the full Wayback Machine.
But there is a Clint Eastwood movie title here, even after the devastating fact that Google now off-loads its Google Cache to the Wayback Machine (which many sites refuse to be archived in), as per [Wayback/Archive] Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages are dead | Ars Technica:
Many posted the links to the big news last week:

I put the proper Bookmarklet wrapper around the functions from Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link (because especially Firefox needs them):
An immediately invoked function that returns no value or an expression preceded by the
voidoperator will prevent the browser from attempting to parse the result of the evaluation as a snippet of HTML markup:javascript:(function(){ //Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments })();
It means they now have become these:
javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();
javascript:(function(){prompt("Anchor",document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href)})();

In the past I wrote a few articles containing information about Captive Portals, but I forgot mentioning that the article Captive portal – Wikipedia exists.
Got reminded to this by these tweets about Apple not using the default browser when displaying the Captive Portal page:

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] s3-ocr: Extract text from PDF files stored in an S3 bucket
One reason is archival of books. Even (or maybe especially) in IT, books already have historic meaning especially in narrower fields where they often are not available in the Internet Archive or have been scanned by Google Books.

[Wayback/Archive] Deleted Tweet Finder taught me there is another web page archival site next to the Wayback Machine and Archive.is (also known as Archive Today): GhostArchive which was established in 2021 right when I was recovering from more than a year of cancer treatments.
They have quite a few ways to address an archived URL of which this is the main entry point: https://ghostarchive.org/search?term=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fhisvault_eth%2Fstatus%2F1802834724114649422
Reminder to self: figure out the URLs that trigger archival.
Via
Note that the Google Webcache is not really an archival site, nor is there possibility to trigger archival.
The URL structure there is https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fhisvault_eth%2Fstatus%2F1802834724114649422 (the part after cache: is the page link after URL encoding)

Not that long ago I learned about [Wayback/Archive] DNS Checker – DNS Check Propagation Tool:
CHECK DNS PROPAGATION
Recently changed your DNS records, switched web host, or started a new website: then you are at the right place! DNS Checker provides a free DNS lookup service to check Domain Name System records against a selected list of DNS servers located in multiple regions worldwide. Perform a quick DNS propagation lookup for any hostname, and check DNS data collected from all available DNS Servers to confirm that the DNS records are fully propagated.
I wish I had known it before as it is a great tool to verify DNS lookups from around the world.
For my link archive (A and SOA records are the most important to me):

[Wayback/Archive.is] about etched:
etchedis an internet archive tool that permanently timestamps and stores web pages directly into the Bitcoin BSV blockchain.This is a major improvement from traditional web archivers as all etched pages are permanently stored and independently provable by anyone who has access to the bitcoin blockchain. This means even if etched shuts down anyone can search and view all previously saved data using bitcoin browsers like Bottle.
Via [Wayback] Archive.is blog — See if you suddenly died and that hardware failure…:
For redundancy, try something like etched.page, they store pages on Bitcoin blockchain.
Example: [Wayback] etched archive of nos.nl, 2021-09-10

I wrote this post because the xs4all->KPN transition was messy, especially on the VoIP side.
Emails and letters were incomplete lacking some essential information for manual configuration; 2nd line help desk did not return calls; pointers to where to find correct information were lacking.
This kind of is a catch all post with most of the links I found without much of their content so I can refer to them later when writing a more detailed post on how I did get VoIP to work.
So: for my link archive, almost all posts in Dutch.
