Ask HN: Anyone else observing a Widespread Outage of Archive.* Sites?
All archive.(today|md|ph|vn) sites (including the .onion) have been down for the past day or so, displaying a loading icon that refreshes the page every few seconds.

Yeah I've noticed that too. Hopefully it's just a technical blip, though I do always worry that some sort of legal pressure or creator burnout has hit the site when stuff like this happens.
If you check blog.archive.*, a russian landing page with a warning that the page has been blocked by government authorities comes up. Maybe related?
Yes.
