> Is it not hubris to call it "no loss" if, say, 3 hours ago, "Design of a LISP-based microprocessor / Page 22 has a map of the processor layout:" was forever lost to humanity, as collateral damage to some techbros' dispute?

Wayback will have them, as is tradition. A crawl (non IA) has been kicked off to reconcile to ensure maximum coverage of Imgur links on HN.

This is much less accessible to the average user and there's no guarantee that archive sites will be here in the future https://www.wired.com/story/internet-archive-loses-hachette-...

The Internet Archive will outlast Imgur. I'm willing to bet on it if you'd like, feel free to propose terms for resolution and preferred forum.

(Accessing Imgur archives in Wayback is as trivial as a browser extension for your average user; Imgur has raised $60M and only does ~$30M/year, they will eventually be sold or close as the user experience degrades as operators and investors attempt to squeeze more from the enterprise)

archive.org is also blocked in the UK. I cannot access it without VPN.

I can, it’s not blocked.

>>teamon+zl
It is blocked by many ISPs because it contains adult content.

These are optional adult filters that you can unblock. I have phones on O2 and EE and am able to access archive.org. I believe that you do need to have proven to the ISP that you are over 18. Paying by credit card counts.

The government requires that ISPs provide some opt-out adult filtering, but archive.org being blocked seems like an over-zealous third party moderation list, not government censorship.
