If you hover over the timestamp it points back to May 2nd as well.

This is probably from the Second Chance pool.

Post with text insted of an URL get a penalty, so it's more difficult that they reach the front page (unofficial faq with more details https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented?tab=re... )

My suggestion is to repost the link in a new submission (URL only, empty text), and add your explanation as as a comment.

On the other hand, if you fully understand them it’s easier for spammers to circumvent them and changes would have to be done way slower (because they’d have to be documented every time).

You’ll sometimes find posts by dang explaining various policies, and there are some sources which try to document the undocumented:

It is my understanding some websites (like dev.to) are automatically killed due to a prevalence of low quality posts. But users with showed enabled can still see those and vouch for them, which brings them back alive. Posts may also be flagged by users for a variety of reasons such as the subject having been posted and discussed multiple times in the last few days, essentially making the new post a duplicate.

Hacker News is extremely strongly manipulated. What users see as popularity order is actually the order edited to the moderators' liking.

Not me, because I can't yet, but I can shed some light.

That comment brings nothing to the table. An upvote would have given the same meaning. This is not reddit, and some of us would prefer it to remain different. Low effort comments tend to be downvoted, and interesting ones upvoted.

So uplift your comments, say why you are thankful, what will be your use case, where you wouldn't use the OPs icons, ... give some information, not just noise.

Here [0] is some more information about downvotes.

Thank you! But the script but the only thing that really deserves credit is Jeremy Singer-Vine's https://github.com/jsvine/waybackpack library. Pretty much made this a very straightforward task

https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader https://github.com/jsvine/waybackpack or google "wayback machine downloader" for other options

Which paid services are you referring to? It is likely that these services aren't distributing the projects they are based on, if so, then they are in compliance with the licenses of the open source projects, which don't require attribution unless you distribute them.

This project started in 2015 btw. Another similar project called waybackpack started in 2016. There are probably more projects. IMO wayback-machine-downloader is the better project though.

The Wayback CDX Server API these projects are based on is quite simple to use btw, just some JSON responses to decode.
