Semi related but just an FYI: archive.is does the same but it attacks some random blog that did a deep dive into the site. That “captcha” screen is throwing loads of requests from your browser

archive.today and archive.is are two separate services, run by different people, are they not? The Wikipedia page just says that archive.today was mirroring archive.is’s contents.Edit: guess I misread something, sorry
I think they’re the same either that or I’m misunderstanding the wiki article
They are the same, yeah. They just migrate between domains as they get shut down or whatever
archive.today (also known as archive.is, among other domains)
I finally remembered to install noscript because of them.
Ublock with advanced settings also works
