Ask HN: How can I back up an old vBulletin forum without admin access?
You can try https://replayweb.page/ as a test for viewing a WARC file. I do think you'll run into problems though with wanting to browse interconnected links in a forum format, but try this as a first step.
One potential option but definitely a bit more work would be, once you have all the warc files downloaded, you can open them all in python using the warctools module and maybe beautifulsoup and potentially parse/extract all of the data embedded in the WARC archives into your own "fresh" HTML webserver.

Best practices for archiving websites
Use the Webrecorder tool suite https://webrecorder.net! It uses a new package file format for web archivss called WACZ (Web Archive Zipped) which produces a single file which you can store anywhere and playback offline. It automatically indexes different file formats such as PDFs or media files contained on the website and is versioned. You can record WACZ using the Chrome extension ArchiveWeb.page https://archiveweb.page/ or use the Internet Archive’s Save Page Now button to preserve a website and have the WACZ file sent to you via email: https://inkdroid.org/2023/04/03/spn-wacz/. There are also more sophisticated tools like the in-browser crawler ArchiveWeb.page Express https://express.archiveweb.page or the command-line crawler BrowserTrix https://webrecorder.net/tools#browsertrix-crawler. But manually recording using the Chrome extension is definitely the easiest and most reliable way. To play back the WACZ file just open it in the offline web-app ReplayWeb.page https://replayweb.page.

Webrecorder: Capture interactive websites and replay them at a later time
(Disclaimer: I work at Webrecorder)
Our automated crawler browsertrix-crawler (https://github.com/webrecorder/browsertrix-crawler) uses Puppeteer to run browsers that we archive in by loading pages, running behaviors such as auto-scroll, and then record the request/response traffic. We have some custom behavior for some social media and video sites to make sure that content is appropriate captured. It is a bit of a cat-and-mouse game as we have to continue to update these behaviors as sites change, but for the most part it works pretty well.
The trickier part is in replaying the archived websites, as a certain amount of re-writing has to happen in order to make sure the HTML and JS are working with archived assets rather than the live web. One implementation of this is replayweb.page (https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page), which does all of the rewriting client-side in the browser. This sets you interact with archived websites in WARC or WACZ format as if interacting with the original site.

Is there such a thing as a " Master Search Engine " for desktops and websites that can search for any keyword on the site and on the PC?
Currently the only way I know of doing this is by making a WARC file of the site with something like ArchiveWeb and then opening the WARC file with something like ReplayWeb : https://replayweb.page/

DPReview is being Archived by the Archive Team
Once archived, the entire site will be made available for anyone to browse on the internet archive. The entire .WARC will also be made available for anyone to download and view locally with a .WARC viewer such as Web Replay. You will be able to download the .WARC file from here.

Finding the Forgotten Fotolog
Of course, the next question will be: Once / if I find the right file with the correct URL, how do I actually access that content? I assume it will involve searching through the massive WARC files using a dedicated software. I tried using replayweb.page, but many of the files seemed to be inaccessible.

Twitter will be purging accounts with no activity for several years soon. We need to archive as many as we can. Any ideas on Methods
twint is a project that can scrape twitter data via the webpages rather than the twitter API, which means that it can get more than the last 3200 tweets of an account. Unfortunately it seems that the repo was archived and is no longer in development, so I'm not sure if it even still works. It's also a bit heavy on dependencies and is written in Python, neither of which make it easier to install and use.

New OSINT tool
The tool doesn't work anymore since Twitter changed its APIs, but a good example is twint. Most people in OSINT are not highly technical and don't know their way around a CLI. On the other hand, a CLI tool is one of the quickest, lowest (dev) cost ways to release a tool to the public, and many developers who build tools for the OSINT community do so for free (open source).

What’s currently the best method to archive a twitter account?
You can try twint which is extensive and should be able to do that. Another is via this twitter downloader but might require multiple runs depending on what you want to archive.

Gbf.life will be gone at the end of April
They do have examples that don't specify a username such as number 3 on this page or this one on the main page: "twint -g="48.880048,2.385939,1km" -o file.csv --csv - Scrape Tweets from a radius of 1km around a place in Paris and export them to a csv file."

Twitter’s $42,000-per-Month API Prices Out Nearly Everyone | Tiers will start at $500,000 a year for access to 0.3 percent of the company’s tweets. Researchers say that’s too much for too little data
This will motivate researchers to web scrape to circumvent these restrictions. Twint can scrape tweets and it supports proxies. It can also be multi threaded. A huge hassle and it's prone to breaking when the site changes.
