WACZ Files! A File Format that can help us archive Ovarit as faithfully as possible with images and even videos!

Posted March 25, 2025 by Femina in Ovarit

Have you ever worked with WACZ Files? If not starting out is very easy! : https://ovarit.com/o/STEM/511014/simple-tutorial-for-people-starting-out-with-making-personal-offline-archives-of

You can use ArchiveExpress to make WACZ Files... : https://express.archiveweb.page

In addition to the method I showed in that tutorial post with ArchiveExpress there are other ways to make WACZ Files!

This is what I have been using to archive my stuff! : https://archiveweb.page/ It is available both as a browser addon and a Desktop App... : https://github.com/webrecorder/archiveweb.page/releases/tag/v0.14.2

Using the WebRecorder ArchiveWeb.page Chrome browser extension addon or Desktop App is very easy but requires going into each page manually which can be VERY tedious to do so I can only use it for my own stuff and for some small circles at most...

There is also a tool called Browsertrix also created by the same folks that made the ArchiveWeb tool that can crawl websites automatically and produce WACZ Files but I don't know how to use it : https://webrecorder.net/browsertrix/ The Browsertrix can be used either paid on the cloud or be deployed locally for free... : https://docs.browsertrix.com/deploy/

If anyone here could make the Browsertrix work it would be an IMMENSE help with the Ovarit archiving efforts!

WACZ Files can archive images and even videos... It can be used to replicate identical copies of websites pretty much...
WACZ Files can be loaded on ReplayWeb either here : https://replayweb.page/ Or Offline with the Desktop App... : https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page/releases/tag/v2.3.4
I made my sample archive with a WACZ File... : https://ovarit.com/o/STEM/678680/small-sample-archive-of-ovarit-i-made
Tutorial to make an archive like my own... : https://ovarit.com/o/STEM/510775/host-your-own-web-archives-on-glitch

My archive is powered by ReplayWeb pretty much basically...

A full archive of Ovarit could be like that sample archive but MUCH bigger and with a more permanent URL with a different name!

Does anybody wanna contribute to this Ovarit WACZ Archiving Project efforts?

There are people interested in hosting an archive of Ovarit already and some have even bought domains all ready for it but we need archive files!

I thought the first quote was in reference to Americans facing issues regarding immigration - you know, a real issue where people actually have to be concerned about leaving or re-entering the country. But, nope, it's a man in drag throwing out hyperbole because they don't get to invade women's spaces in some states and locales.

Ever notice how TIMs exhibit a total lack of empathy for others who are much more vulnerable to regressive policies? I've never seen a TIM acknowledge the simple fact that immigrants and black folks and women of childbearing age have it worse. They always, always have to climb over the bodies of actual marginalized people to stake their flag on the summit of Mt. Oppression Olympus.

Oh, absolutely. They rush to co-opt the real struggles and hard won victories of groups who have faced real struggles, going so far as to fabricate the absurd claims of leading the Stonewall rebellion. Comparing not being allowed to use the women's bathrooms or change their sex identifier on official documentation to the Holocaust (which is likely the only genocide that they're aware of) is absolutely reprehensible.

If you want to discuss thoughts about how Ovarit should be which aren't suggestions for new features (such as significant changes to site functionality that already exists); or suggest changes to or discuss the Sitewide Rules, Guidelines, Mission, etc; or have discussions about Ovarit or the Ovarit community itself; or ask for help on how to use the site, then this is the place.

No introduction posts.

No external data gathering or external polls.

It is not appropriate to air grievances against individual circles, their moderators, their users in aggregate, or specific Ovarit users here. If you want to contest your interactions with circle moderators (including content removals and bans), message the moderators of the circle. If you can't resolve the issue with the moderators themselves, then message the site admins.

Circles on Ovarit are directed by their specific moderation teams. If you have suggestions for a specific circle or circles, bring them up with the appropriate moderators. Topics are only relevant for this circle if they apply to the entire site.

The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
