Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Has anyone used ArchiveBox for self hosted web archiving? If so, what are your thoughts on it compared to Internet Archive or other publicly available services?

It's a great tool, but depends on what you expect from it and your use case. Personally I tried it but was always disappointed by it. I always just end up using SingleFile(Z) on my browser or in the cli along with the usual yt-dlp and the like and that's all I need really. And if I need to save an entire site I just use wget or httrack. I don't really have the need for a browsable archive of my saved pages, I usually order them by subject when saving.
