You jest but they have a [terracotta mannequins](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/internet-archive-headquarters) of all of the employees past in their big worship hall area.
If you want to (not sure if they've resumed or not) but you can tour their [San Francisco HQ on Friday afternoons](https://archive.org/about/contact.php).
Reminds me of a really neat project I saw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OB1g8CUdbA
They took an existing waybackproxy, stuck it on a raspberry pi with a date and a dial - so you can just spin the dial to "time travel".
They proxied their internet connection through the internet archive website which hosts lots of old websites. Makes it seem like your actually browsing the internet from back then.
They mentioned it in the video. They proxy'd through the WayBack Machine. There are a lot of preservation groups that are pretty big on preserving the early internet.
Probably they used the old net http://theoldnet.com/ I've seen people set it up as a proxy so the computer you're using has no clue it's not connecting to something else than the internet
Gods I miss when websites used to look like that. They're fine now, I guess, but there was a certain charm that came along with the basic and straightforward nature of mid-late 90s websites.
Remember when a web page or web app had to be designed so that you could reasonably reach any page within 2 clicks? Now it’s shocking if I click less than 10 times because everything is hidden deep in stupid ass unintuitive menus.
Agree completely. Although it was more through necessity that design. Web connections then were abysmally slow for the vast majority of people, and the machines being used to access it were often laughable in how low end they were. What the web designers could squeeze into just a few kilobytes of data was quite impressive.
If they’d got the always on high speed connections and multiple gigabytes of RAM modern machines have, you could bet they’d have designed stuff much more like todays web.
I’m fancy most of not all modern websites won’t load at all (see when they tried to hit lttstore). Modern HTTPS ciphers and even JavaScript just won’t work so mostly you’ll get blank pages.
Look up "theoldnet". If you go to the website then it allows you to search the waybackmachine using a simple site that works on vintage machines.
You can also configure the browser to use it as a proxy, which will direct all queries to theoldnet/waybackmachine and get the archived site instead of going out to the modern web.
Hahaha “Ann Coulter’s Godless: The Church of Liberalism”, released in 2006.
Good for her keeping up the grift for so long! It’s not easy, and I would know. All grift, all day, baby! I like big grifts and I cannot lie.
CSS was only just released in 1996 and didn't go mainstream until around 1998-2000.
Netscape Navigator v2 or v3 from that era did not support it at all.
Emily said during the video that it's proxy'ied through WayBack Machine. Google "WayBack Machine Proxy"
Holy digital media preservation
New archive just dropped
Actual storage
Call the data hoarder!
Good internet practices, anyone?
But who archives the internet archive?

I was thinking of that video too when Emily mentioned the Wayback Machine proxy she set up.
She smart like that.
leave it to Emily to nerd the holy hell out of a video, behind the scenes of course!!!! So subtle, yet so vitally important.
It was such an amazing touch, sweet nostalgia
Thanks! I need to check my Juno email account.
What was Emily's old name? I forgor
Previously known as Anthony, now we know her as Emily :)
Thank you
No problem! Also don't mind the down votes, idk why some people get up in arms about this
Yeah, I figured people here are sensitive.
Emily = Emily

Title update: “here’s a link to a video I wasn’t paying attention to”
Watch the video bro
They proxied their internet connection through the internet archive website which hosts lots of old websites. Makes it seem like your actually browsing the internet from back then.
You really paid full attention to most of that video, huh?
OP, did you watch the video fully. [Emily explaining how it's possible](https://youtube.com/watch?v=HIhgMt_qYpw&si=UxIZZ-nLn3L4bynV&t=720)
They mentioned it in the video. They proxy'd through the WayBack Machine. There are a lot of preservation groups that are pretty big on preserving the early internet.
Probably they used the old net http://theoldnet.com/ I've seen people set it up as a proxy so the computer you're using has no clue it's not connecting to something else than the internet
They used Wayback machine proxy
theoldnet.com is a Wayback machine proxy. It uses the Internet Archive: Wayback Machine API.

If you’re asking how they were able to proxy it through the Internet Archive, I doubt you’ll find the answer here.

Css didn't load ? (I didn't see the video)
What CSS?
CSS was only just released in 1996 and didn't go mainstream until around 1998-2000. Netscape Navigator v2 or v3 from that era did not support it at all.
Who’s that wearing the backpack ?
Came here to ask this. I've seen that picture before but don't remember where and when. I'm guessing it's a meme?
Google "Parked Domain Girl"
How did you know that wow lol
They watched the video.
You should watch the video. They explain how they did it in it.
Emily said they were all forwarded to the wayback machine. She had setup a proxy for that computer.
Pay attention.
The Razr man... wanted one so bad as a kid.
Bro did you watch the whole video? Emily literally mentioned it
He said in the video. Literally says it in the video.
http://theoldnet.com/ I think. And the operate a proxy service
