The English-language edition of Wikipedia is blacklisting Archive.today after the controversial archive site was used to direct a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a blog. In course of discussing whether Archive.today should be deprecated because of the DDoS, Wikipedia editors discovered that the archive site altered snapshots of webpages to insert the name of the blogger who was targeted by the DDoS. The alterations were apparently fueled by a grudge against the blogger over a post that described how the Archive.today maintainer hid their identity behind several aliases. “There is consensus to immediately deprecate archive.today, and, as soon as practicable, add it to the spam blacklist (or create an edit filter that blocks adding new links), and remove all links to it,” stated an update today on Wikipedia’s Archive.today discussion. “There is a strong consensus that Wikipedia should not direct its readers towards a website that hijacks users’ computers to run a DDoS attack Additionally, evidence has been presented that archive.today’s operators have altered the content of archived pages, rendering it unreliable.” More than 695,000 links to Archive.today are distributed across 400,000 or so Wikipedia pages. The archive site is commonly used to bypass news paywalls, and the FBI has sought information on the site operator’s identity with a subpoena to domain registrar Tucows. “Those in favor of maintaining the status quo rested their arguments primarily on the utility of archive.today for verifiability,” said today’s Wikipedia update. “However, an analysis of existing links has shown that most of its uses can be replaced. Several editors started to work out implementation details during this RfC [request for comment] and the community should figure out how to efficiently remove links to archive.today.” The Wikipedia guidance points out that the Internet Archive and its website, Archive.org, are “uninvolved with and entirely separate from archive.today.” The Internet Archive is a nonprofit based in the US. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/

https://youtu.be/SqeIoWuOjRY - 'France secretly used chemical weapons against independence fighters during the Algerian War. Newly evaluated archive material, eyewitnesses, and experts document the extent, background, and consequences of this warfare.

A little-known chapter of colonial violence: The French army secretly used chemical weapons against independence fighters during the Algerian War (1954-1962). Maps, documents, and eyewitness accounts from French and Algerian veterans document the dimension of this warfare, as well as the human suffering it caused.

Interviews with experts on nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons explain how military and political decision-makers organized these secret attacks. In addition to the torture and displacement of entire population groups, the use of chemical weapons constituted a huge breach of France's international obligations. Obligations France deliberately disregarded during its colonial war.

Step by step, the film reveals the impact of this warfare on Algeria’s land and people. The film illuminates both the historical events, and their current relevance.'

https://youtu.be/BkKQkRcnq_8 - 'Dr. Johnson Aniki left Nigeria for Kyiv in 1981 as a student during the Soviet Union — and he never left.

Now a permanent resident of #Ukraine and a successful businessman selling hospital equipment, Dr. Aniki has spent more than four decades building his life in Ukraine. He has witnessed the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine’s independence, and now #Russia ’s full-scale invasion.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Aniki shares his thoughts on Africans who join Russia’s war against Ukraine. He speaks candidly about identity, loyalty, opportunity, and why some Africans choose to fight on Russia’s side.
He even says that if he were younger, he would join the Ukrainian military — to catch Africans fighting for Russia.

Why does he believe some Africans enlist with Russia? What does he think they misunderstand about this war? And how does he see Ukraine after 40+ years of calling it home?

@jd There is speculation that without Starlink support the Russians are having a very hard time coordinating their efforts and as a result cannot do even basic things like call in for reserves when they are being overrun.

Attached: 1 image 👀‼️ Russia has begun selling gold from its reserves. In January, Central Bank reduced its gold holdings for the first time in a long period, — Bloomberg. Russia’s gold reserves decreased by 300,000 ounces to 74.5 million ounces. In January, the average gold price stood at $4,700 per ounce. Preliminary estimates suggest the move could bring about $1.4 billion to the Russian budget.
