You can find long-gone blog posts, old website designs from the late 90’s, retracted news stories, and all sorts of treasures in their collection.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/how-to-internet-archive.html">Read more …</a></p>

How I archived 26 500 old Ask Fedora community Q&As
Ask Fedora removed tens of thousands of questions-and-answers, but you can now access all of them through the Internet Archive.
<p>Ask Fedora is the Fedora Linux community’s questions-and-answers portal, and it recently transitioned from a forum software called Askbot to Discourse. Changing the underlying forum software doesn’t have to be destructive but Ask Fedora decided to go with a <em>nuke-and-pave migration strategy</em>: They decided to start from scratch instead of copying user accounts and the user-contributed content to the new software.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/archiving-ask-fedora.html">Read more …</a></p>

Always care for old links after moving domain and reorganizing URLs
Create a URL transition-plan and create redirects for old URLs. Take a few minutes to avoid losing traffic when you move domain names or reorganize your URLs.
<p>At the same time as I moved this blog to a new domain, I took the opportunity to restructure and reorganizing all the existing URLs. This in turn gave me the opportunity to jot down some thoughts on things you can do to help make sure your old addresses keep working for a very long time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/rewriting-urls-reorganizing.html">Read more …</a></p>

Navigate around dead links with the Wayback Machine browser extension
Experimental browser extension from Mozilla and the Internet Archive helps you find archived copies of dead links as you browse with Firefox.
<p>Do you think most of the people around you know at least a few HTTP status codes? Unfortunately, if any – they’re likely to familiar with at least 404 Not Found and 500 Server Error. If you spend enough time on the web, you may encounter these errors quite often – if not daily. The Internet Archive’s new <em>Wayback Machine</em> extension for Firefox and Chrome can help you get to the page you were looking for even after it has been removed from the web.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/wayback-machine-extension.html">Read more …</a></p>
