What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original linkPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communicationAll communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangentsStay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may applyIf something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Huh, don't know what to tell you. Just tested the link and it worked for me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. Now try in tor* browser in strict mode. Not everyone can use unsafe browsers

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

Morning I can do to help you there.

[–] derek@infosec.pub 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What browser are you using and with what plugins?

Weird. I've tested on a desktop and mobile device. Both loaded the archive.is link via Tor Browser (no extensions) without a problem in both "Normal" and "Safer" modes. "Safest" mode fails at the CAPTCHA page but that's expected.

Maybe the node(s) you were connected to were having issues with that domain at the time.

Strict mode disables JavaScript for security. Archive.is does not work without JavaScript

[–] derek@infosec.pub 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That makes sense. Not a misconfiguration on the site's end then. Thanks for the clarification.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months ago

I would say that a site that doesn't work without JavaScript is broken, yes

Please don't tell Keir Starmer.

I would be surprised if Western countries aren't interested.
