The Internet Archive drank the Googleisms kool-aid, and now it renders nothing but the top bar because the entire site is now a JS crapp and wants dynamic imports

BUT!

after poking at the HTML, turns out that if you add "?noscript=true" to the URLs, then it renders... HTML!

(And a stupid warning bar telling me that my browser is not "MODERN", whatever the hell means that)

example: archive.org/details/boardwatchmagazine => renders nothing

but archive.org/details/boardwatchmagazine?noscript=true actually renders the collection

unfortunately that still renders a partially unusable site, but I guess one page of results is better than a useless nav bar...

Happy New Year, guys!!

WG9s: does your server have some issue?

WG9s: the last builds dated 12/30/23 are missing today and the design of the site looks broken

hardys: should be better now

WG9s.

WG9s: looks fine :)

ell still missing build from last night as soon as I get build tools back i will fix tried updating the system OS and the whole system would not boot so had to redo all from scratch

good thing i had good backups

WG9s: good to know. Have a Happy New Year

hardys: u2

happy new year, .*

tonymec|away: I think some time ago the noscript parameter just didn't work. Internet Archive pages look kind of brittle to me, be it the archive or the wayback machine

not so recently, the wayback machine would sometimes return failure on save but would actually save a bit later. bad because I hadn't noticed, good because it at least works. Now it sometimes just blocks access, sometimes works and is, in general, slow

and is also overcomplicated, so much reliance on JS...

nsjg: happy new year. About noscript and/or wayback machine: dunno.

... I swear I saw tomman when I tab-completed above
