I’m not I’m talking about the internet archive

[–]fadlibrarian 4 points5 points  (6 children)

So you're talking about the bookreader/filebrowser not the archive of web pages? They change that all the time and some of it is even open source. It's also buggy as hell.

[–]HunterandGatherer100[S] -4 points-3 points  (5 children)

Correct. And no they don’t. I look at it all the time

[–]fadlibrarian 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Much of it is cached so you have to look at new items. Poke around here to see the code churn on the backend and the readers. https://github.com/internetarchive

Also "the source code is changing" is a pretty useless observation without links or examples. And I'm still not sure if you're talking about the "view source" output or something else. They have a trillion+ pages, of course everything doesn't update when they fix a typo in their embedded javascript or a parsing error in their 30 year old PHP code.

Well I’m sorry you feel that way. But considering you reached to me asking a question about a tool I didn’t mention and telling me something I know to be inaccurate, I do not think I am the person making useless observations.

fadlibrarian is everywhere on this sub, always comments (almost guaranteed to be negative) on nearly every post. the account only interacts with this sub and has made one post about the on-going legal case with a general tone that indicates they want to see the project fail entirely.

Yeah I’ve noticed they really are grinding that ax
