The internet is no longer being archived. It is now up to you to save things that you think are important. some tools:
archiving individual webpages:
ArchiveBox: preserve original html+css+js, save as a single html, or save in some other lossy format like screenshot, pdf, article text, etc. also supports social media post preservation, video/audio preservation (youtube/soundcloud/etc links), git repo cloning, and more.
WAIL: single GUI tool that integrates multiple utilities like openwayback. supports windows and mac.
wkhtmltopdf: save any webpage as a pdf, archived repo, might stop working or become vulnerable.

archiving specific content:
yt-dlp: cli tool to download video/audio. works on tens of thousands of sites. supports ever OS, lots of features like playlist downloading, accepting batch lists of links, audio only (for downloading music from youtube)

large scale archiving:
wikiteam: clone entire wiki style sites
wayback: waybackmachine, but you own the data.
tubearchivist: subscribe to channels or public playlists inside the tool and it will automatically download new content on a schedule. I use this for channels that are likely to be deleted for copyright/content violations. also has a browser extension that allows you to 1 click download or subscribe to a channel.
hydrusnetwork: booru scraper, mostly used by coomers to download porn from r34 but is great for more beneficial uses as well. it imports tags when downloading images and has a very robust tagging system allowing for tag aliases and subtags. optimal use: download articles/videos/images and tag them with year, relevant people and associated events. allows for you to rapidly search and confirm suspected gaslighting about events years after they have happened. also works as a public booru backend so you can publish all of your data.

submissions: (this will be updated so if this post is forwarded please click through to the channel to se the updated post)
webscrapbook: chromium browser extension to save pages to your computer locally or to a backend server somewhere. would integrate nicely with hydrus. works on all non-firefox based browsers (chrome, edge, brave, ddg, etc)
