On the upper right of Flutterby pages, there's now an "Add Wayback Links" checkbox. If you check it, you'll get a little Internet Archive icon that's a link at the end of external links, to take you to the Wayback Machine for that link. It sets a little cookie (hopefully). Might be some wonkiness on it remembering the state and rendering from the state.</p> <p>Additional ideas coming, I should probably try to get a notion of when the entry happened into the link, maybe I'll turn it on automagically for older links...</p> </body></html></description><pubDate>2025-07-10T04:29:42</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
