In this brief guide, I will share what I've learned about archiving live webpages and recovering deleted webpages using various archive services.

Before you start

I highly recommend installing the Web Archives extension in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox). It provides quick access to archive services and search engine caches.

Overview of archive services & caches

Wayback Machine: Best and largest webpage archive. You probably already use it. Wayback Machine is the only archival service that also performs automated crawling, so its coverage is much better than other archives. See usage tips on Wikipedia.
Archive.today (also known as Archive.is): A mid-sized service that takes

How to keep using adblockers on chrome and chromium

google's manifest v3 has no analouge to the webRequestBlocking API, which is neccesary for (effective) adblockers to work
starting in chrome version 127, the transition to mv3 will start cutting off the use of mv2 extensions alltogether
this will inevitably piss of enterprises when their extensions don't work, so the ExtensionManifestV2Availability key was added and will presumably stay forever after enterprises complain enough

You can use this as a regular user, which will let you keep your mv2 extensions even after they're supposed to stop working

free tier limits

The limits of the free tier say that you can create up to 4 instances.

x2 x86 instances (2core/1g)
x2 ampere instances (with 4core/24g spread between them)
200GB total boot volume space across all intances (minimum of 50G per instance)

Edit 🎉

All packages, except for Tini have been added to termux-root. To install them, simply pkg install root-repo && pkg install docker. This will install the whole docker suite, left only Tini to be compiled manually.

Summary

True Color (24-bit) and italics with alacritty + tmux + vim (neovim)

This should make True Color (24-bit) and italics work in your tmux session and vim/neovim when using Alacritty (and should be compatible with any other terminal emulator, including Kitty).

Testing colors

Running this script should look the same in tmux as without.
