This topic is about collecting and reporting about web content related to beekeeping and academic research which has unfortunately vanished from the web and its effort to restore it.
Unfortunately, http://hivetool.org/ also went down recently in August 2018.
We are currently in the process of restoring it from the Internet Archive again.
Unfortunately, this invaluable site published by Prof. Dr. Randolf Menzel, Uwe Greggers and their team of the Neurobiology department at the Institute of Biology of the Free University of Berlin went down recently, probably about the time when their building was decommissioned in 2019.
Unfortunately, the mirroring process did not catch the .flv videos published on the site, so they are probably lost forever.
Note: If someone still has access or another copy of those resources, we will be happy to hear back from you in order to complete the archive. cc @BenB
This is a slightly related post about the infrastructure other people – including those running the Internet Archive – are using for keeping a record of what our society produced since the advent of the Internet. This is about the de facto Library of Alexandria - Wikipedia of our ages.
The Webrecorder Project
Webrecorder provides a suite of open source projects and tools to capture interactive websites and replay them at a later time as accurately as possible.
This is a recent video presentation by Jonah Edwards, who runs the Core Infrastructure Team at the Internet Archive. He explains the IA’s server, storage, and networking infrastructure, and then takes questions from other people at the Archive.
