Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):
https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader
https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc
And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
- YaCy, a distributed Web Search Engine, based on a peer-to-peer network

Vice website is shutting down
If you really want to save the content for yourself, use something like https://archivebox.io/
I've been running a local instance for a few years now and download/save tech articles all time. I can search and find them as needed.

An Introduction to the WARC File
API is coming soon (relatively, it's still a one-man project)! Stay tuned https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496
I have an event-sourcing refactor in progress now to allow us to pluginize functionality like the API (similar to Home Assistant with a plugin app sotre), it will take a month or two. Next up is the REST API using the new plugin system.

ArchiveBox – open-source self-hosted web archiving
Yeah this is a cool project but it was discussed 2 days ago.
As mentioned by the maintainer there, they even maintain a list of alternatives, very classy:
https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Web-Archiving-...
- ArchiveBox: Open-source self-hosted web archiving
- Linkhut: A Social Bookmarking Site
- Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
- Bookmark manager with a focus on organization?

Ask HN: How can I back up an old vBulletin forum without admin access?
The format you want is WARC. Even the Library of Congress uses it. There are many many WARC scrapers. I'd look at what the Internet Archive recommends. A quick search turned up this from the Archive Team and Jason Scott https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/grab-site (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Who_We_Are) but I found that in less than 15 seconds of searching so do your own diligence.

struggling to download websites
You can use grab-site with --no-offsite-links and --igsets=mediawiki.
- Internet Archive Down, will be up and running soon (i hope).

best tool for downloading forum posts in real-time?
Does the forum provide real-time notification for new posts? Like maybe a RSS feed, or a 'New' section? If so, some scripting around grab-site or httrack could grab them quickly.

Help building or mirroring docs.microsoft.com
Crawling is of course the other option. I've seen https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/grab-site in the wiki, but I'm unsure how to host the resulting .warc archives.
- grab-site: The archivist's web crawler: WARC output, dashboard for all crawls, dynamic ignore patterns
- Data hoarders, start backing up government websites and news articles as well
-
How to mirror multiple websites correctly?
It's a completely different tool, but I like using grab-site https://github.com/archiveteam/grab-site . Try --wpull-args=--span-hosts='' or something to make it mirror all subdomains. It outputs in WARC format which can be read with a site like https://replayweb.page.

Stack Overflow Developer Story Data Dump (10 whole MB !)
Thusly, as a bit of a statement, here's your "I will do it myself even if I have to bash my head against the wall" collection of the Developer Story on 10-20 top users. I know there are some blogs on old web design, perhaps it might be worth their while as a memento of an era bygone. And as for myself, I am looking into setting up a dedicated server for either grab-site or ArchiveBox. Possibly both!
