It hurts my heart so badly that when you read a post of such vintage the outward facing links are almost certainly all broken.

We've lost so much.

And that's why archive.org exists.

Yep, but it's missing a lot (feels like about half missing) and it's a fragile single point of failure that's constantly under threat (political, legal, economic, cyberattack).

Don't be sad, here it is in all its glory: https://web.archive.org/web/20250109120355/http://davidweiss...

And make sure to consider donating to the Internet Archive if this made your heart slightly less achy today :)

Wondered about this one too.

Even the Library of Alexandria was destroyed at some point…

The OP was referring to outbound URLs. Those are still broken.

At several points, actshually.

There has never been a good time to let our guard down, but there's seldom been a worse one.

For me they worked, you need to change the capture date when viewed within IA.

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) can often recover those broken links from 2006-era blog posts, preserving at least some of what would otherwise be lost.
