[Wayback] Archive.is blog — The website has been slow for some time when…
The website has been slow for some time when archiving Twitter pages, but works fine with other websites. Is there a reason for that? Thx!
Anonymous
1. There are too many pages from Twitter in the queue, which reduces their priority (if it wasn’t for this condition, it would slow everything down)
2. Twitter API sometimes responds with “429 Too Many Requests” or other error, so it usually takes more than 1 attempt to capture the page.
I would suggest refraining from saving pages from Twitter for now, especially those people trying to save dozens or hundreds of tweets

Almost two years ago, GitHub – facebook/osquery: SQL powered operating system instrumentation, monitoring, and analytics published from the automatic blog queue.
It was in the midst of my rectum cancer treatment, so I was glad the blog queue back then was still about 18 months deep.
This meant I looked into osquery in 2018, which I remember because I needed it on MacOS as I did not want to remember the syntax for MacOS specific commands on getting system information. It also coincides with how much my repository fork was behind: [Wayback: jpluimers/osquery commits/Archive: jpluimers/osquery commits].
Fast forward to now, the breath of systems I’m involved with has widened, so I was glad to see that Kristian Köhntopp mentioned it:
So time to try it again (:
The links he mentioned:
- [Wayback/Archive] Welcome to osquery – osquery
osquery is an operating system instrumentation framework for Windows, OS X (macOS), Linux, and FreeBSD. The tools make low-level operating system analytics and monitoring both performant and intuitive.
- [Wayback/Archive] Welcome to osquery – osquery: High Level Features
The high-performance and low-footprint distributed host monitoring daemon, osqueryd, allows you to schedule queries to be executed across your entire infrastructure. The daemon takes care of aggregating the query results over time and generates logs which indicate state changes in your infrastructure. You can use this to maintain insight into the security, performance, configuration, and state of your entire infrastructure. osqueryd‘s logging can integrate into your internal log aggregation pipeline, regardless of your technology stack, via a robust plugin architecture.
The interactive query console, osqueryi, gives you a SQL interface to try out new queries and explore your operating system. With the power of a complete SQL language and dozens of useful tables built-in, osqueryi is an invaluable tool when performing incident response, diagnosing a systems operations problem, troubleshooting a performance issue, etc.

- [Wayback/Archive] osqueryi (shell) – osquery
- [Wayback/Archive] Aggregating Logs – osquery

This gets the tweets I retweeted and have images in them:
from:@jpluimers filter:images filter:nativeretweets
Based on:
- [Wayback] twitter – How do I find my retweets of a certain account? – Web Applications Stack Exchange
from:@someone filter:nativeretweets [KEYWORD(s)]
This shows all retweets of @someone (including the optional KEYWORD(s)). If you retweeted the same tweet you can use @yourtwittername instead of @someone.
- This article gives you a robust overview of everything you need to know about advanced TweetDeck features.[Wayback] About advanced TweetDeck features
To search for mentions of #space from verified accounts, excluding Retweets, type the following in the search box: #space filter:verified -filter:nativeretweets
- [Wayback] Difference between -filter:retweet and -filter:nativeretweets in Twitter Search API 1.1 – Stack Overflow
I believe per TweetDeck documentation (https://support.twitter.com/articles/20170322) this is the difference:
filter:nativeretweets shows retweets from users who have hit the retweet button. filter:retweets shows old style retweets (“RT”) + quoted tweets.
Those are filtering FOR those types of results, but as you’ve done, the – is necessary to filter them out -filter:nativeretweets or -filter:retweets
- [Wayback/Archive.is] Twitter API 1.1 tweets / favorites (likes) / following / followers backup in web browser
/* Twitter API 1.1 tweets / favorites (likes) / following / followers backup in web browser
* Get your access keys to use Twitter API 1.1: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/tokens-devtwittercom
* You can change Twitter API URL and Twitter screen_name, then execute script from a trusted web page without CSP protection like about:blank in a web browser console (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+K shortcut)
* A textarea will appear so you can copy/paste to save data as a CSV file or search tweets / users in your web browser (Ctrl+F shortcut)
* You can then view your backup in a spreadsheet editor like LibreOffice Calc
* You can also compare the backup with another one to see who unfollowed you, who changed their Twitter username by looking at the user ID or which tweet you retweeted / favorited was deleted (e.g. with the Linux diff command)
*
* Note about the tweets backup:
* Usually you will search tweets that you retweeted using Twitter web version (https://twitter.com/search) with a search like "from:your_username filter:nativeretweets keyword"
* But it is limited to the retweets of the last 7 days, like for the free version of the search API (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/overview/standard)
* An alternative is to search tweets in your user timeline with this script but it is limited to your last 3200 tweets (including retweets and replies)
* This script can be combined with the Twitter feature to backup data, which is not limited to your last 3200 tweets but you can only request a backup every 30 days
* To find tweets that you retweeted or favorited / liked from a specific person, you can open the CSV file with LibreOffice Calc, click on the column you want to search and press Ctrl+H to search a username

Removing yourself from a list has been possible for a long time (since at least 2013) by blocking the list owner, then unblocking, but was only documented late 2019 in [WayBack] How to use Twitter Lists:
A Twitter List is a curated group of Twitter accounts. Create your own or subscribe to a List created by someone else to view a streamlined timeline.
…
How to remove yourself from a List
You can view which Lists you are a member of through your Lists tab. To remove yourself from a List you will need to block the creator of that List.
It was public knowledge though, for instance documented at [WayBack] How journalists can remove themselves from Twitter lists – & why it matters – Poynter, which also documents this:
How can I find out which Twitter lists I’m on?
When using Twitter on the web, click on lists. You will arrive at “Subscribed To.” Next to that heading, you’ll see “Member Of.” Click on it to see the Twitter lists that include you as a member. This list of lists is chronological starting at the bottom — the first list you see at the top will be the one that most recently added you.
For me this is twitter.com/jpluimers/lists/memberships
The same trick also works when you want to have someone un-follow you:

This option in Chrome has moved around a bit, so here is how it was in Version 89.0.4389.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) when I documented it.
- Browse to
chrome://discards/
- Don’t be intimidated by the many rows and columns; only the rightmost 8 (at the time of writing) are interesting:
- Search for the URL (in my chase
https://web.whatsapp.com/ , so I searched for whatsapp which you see as orange in the screenshots below) for which you want to ensure it will never sleep/hibernate (Chrome calls this “discardable”)
- Click
Toggle under the checkmark ✔ so it changes into a cross ✘️ (so the URL will never be discarded, hence always stays awake)
Do this only for tabs that are not CPU/memory/traffic intensive
I got there via these posts:
When searching for discards, I found this post: [Wayback] How to Prevent Chrome from Reloading Tabs When You Switch to Them
Chrome has built-in memory management that causes inactive tabs to “sleep” as RAM is filled. When you click the tab again, it has to reload the page. It’s annoying.

To help my Twitter timeline clean I run odd messages through: [WayBack] Botometer® by OSoMe:
Botometer® (formerly BotOrNot) checks the activity of Twitter accounts and gives them a score based on how likely they are to be bots. Higher scores are more bot-like. Brought to you by the Observatory on Social Media (OSoMe) at Indiana University.
Next to just analysing one account, it can also analyse the followers of friends of an account.
Note that you need to give Twitter Permissions to BotOMeter, which you can easily revoke from their site as well, see [WayBack] FAQ: Botometer® by OSoMe.
Next to be more versatile, I also found BotOMeter to be more precise than [WayBack] Bot Sentinel Dashboard ‹ Bot Sentinel:
Bot Sentinel is a free platform developed to automatically detect political trollbots and untrustworthy accounts. Bot Sentinel utilizes machine learning and artificial intelligence to identify and track disruptive Twitter users.
Quite a few are now on the mule or block list.
Note that both work better with English than with non-English language, but even with non-English, both are quite good.
A review is on [WayBack] A Review of Popular Bot Checkers – Unhack The Vote.

[Wayback] Contact opnemen | Persoonsgebonden budget | SVB had this:
UX: 2FA needed as of October, but which year?
If you are going to introduce a change in a certain period of time, ensure you not just mention only a part of when it occurs: include at least year and month, possibly even day and time.
That way your users know if they still have some time left to setup 2FA, or won’t be able to logon without 2FA at all.

Luckily I only had two posts using Threader, as I today learned that it is dying really soon now, as per [Wayback/Archive] Threader – Good Twitter threads every day (emphasis and archival links mine):
As part of this acquisition, we’ll be shutting Threader down on December 15, 2021.
…
We’ve [Wayback/Archive] recently built a similar reading experience at Twitter, which is now available as part of [Wayback/Archive] Twitter Blue.
…
All of our users will be able to export their bookmarks from their settings in our iOS and web apps. Make sure to also download your PDF archives if you’d like to keep them.
Twitter Blue is paid and only available in very few countries and is part of Twitter, so quite useless for archival.
The alternatives [Archive] @ThreadReaderApp, [Archive] @WayBackMachine and [Archive] @ArchiveIs for the win (:
Bye bye [Archive] Threader (previously [Archive] @Threader_app), it was fun while it lasted.
