According to a 2014 study conducted at Harvard Law School, “more than 70% of the URLs within the Harvard Law Review and other journals, and 50% of the URLs within United States Supreme Court opinions, do not link to the originally cited information.”
- From this beautiful New Yorker article from 2015 that has resisted the pull of ironic entropy and still exists:
[Avis] de superbes supports sur les #données de recherche + #FAIRdata st mis en ligne 👍. Bcp pointent à raison des ressources Doranum.fr 👌. Mais *très* rarement en utilisant les DOIs disponibles ! C'est 1 risque (#linkrot), et 1 contradiction de fait (ne pas utiliser les #PID 🤷♀️).

@stadtwirtschaft @Mareike2405 To be fair haben sie eine Email an alle angemeldeten Nutzer_innen geschrieben, in der sie zum Export aller Daten bis zum 15. Dezember 2025 “einladen” (sic).
Grund für diese Entscheidung ist, dass das #KleioLab als GmbH geführt wurde (war mir nicht klar) und zum Jahresende schließt.
Kennt jemand Studien über die "Haltbarkeit" von digitalen Projekten der Geisteswissenschaften? Also wieviel Prozent ist nach wie vielen Jahren nicht mehr online? Ich meine, mal etwas gelesen zu haben, finde aber nur Studien über das Verschwinden von OA-Journals und allgemein #linkrot #followerpower #pleaseRT
Neues Hobby: zufällige (deutschsprachige) #Wikipedia Artikel ansehen und "tote" Weblinks markieren. Erstaunlich, wie oft sich tote Links finden. #linkrot
An dieser Stelle empfehle ich übrigens "Wikitok" http://Wikitok.net
⚡️Linkwarden: The Self-Hosted Bookmark Manager That Solved a Problem I Didn’t Know I Had
Thank you, Linux Unplugged and Jupiter Broadcasting @ironicbadger, for introducing me to Linkwarden—a FOSS gem that will change how I save, share, and preserve the web.
Like many of you, I’ve been using browser bookmarks for years. I’d save articles, tutorials, and interesting links, only to find them gone when I finally got around to reading them. Link rot is real, and it’s frustrating. But until I heard about Linkwarden https://linkwarden.app/ on Linux Unplugged https://jupiterbroadcasting.com/, I didn’t realize how much I needed a better solution.
I used to think, “Browser bookmarks are fine,” and honestly, backing them up manually from time to time isn’t a real trouble—just a slight inconvenience. My problem is that I experience massive link rot when looking into two-year-old links, often with interesting subjects on small sites—they are often just gone when I want to recall them. The problem is that saving the link isn’t saving any of the information.
But Linkwarden @linkwarden isn’t just another bookmark manager—it’s a preservation powerhouse, a collaborative hub, and a self-hosted dream. And thanks to the folks at Jupiter Broadcasting, I now understand why it’s a game-changer.
I haven’t started hosting it yet, but I definitely will, and I hope some of you out there will find it useful too.
Thanks to @daniel31x13 for making a awesome tool :heart_cyber: ⚡️.

I just learned that #LinkRot is a thing!
What do we know about it?
Aïe aïe aïe, le #LinkRot !
#Factuel, le site d'actualités de l'#UniversitéDeLorraine fait peau neuve, certes, mais surtout il vient de casser une grande partie des liens des articles !
Ceux sortis dans les deux derniers mois ne semblent pas affectés, mais celui-ci, par exemple, sur le #CongéMenstruel qui arrive à la rentrée, et est pointé par plusieurs sites en ligne, est tout cassé :
https://factuel.univ-lorraine.fr/node/29347
Heureusement on peut le retrouver ici :

Dommage !
@adorfer @jay @vildis I KNOW THAT!
Granted #RAR is outdated and even if we assume we've to split files still to systematically abuse free tiers of file hosters (which I disapprove of because it's not only a bit antisocial but also susceptible to #LinkRot), there are now better options like #7zip that are even easier to use than tar & bzip2 & xz…

Auch auf Bundesministeriumsebene hat man den LinkRot drauf. Das ist die Seite "Evaluation des Urheberrechts-Wissensgesellschafts-Gesetzes (UrhWissG)" nun 404 unter ttps://www.bmjv.de/SharedDocs/Gesetzgebungsverfahren/DE/UrhWissG_Evaluation.html, gibt es aber nun wohl unter https://www.bmj.de/SharedDocs/Gesetzgebungsverfahren/DE/2022_UrhWissG_Evaluation.html?nn=17134

Berücksichtigt der Archive-org-bot das? Wurde das schon auf wikipedia diskutiert?

"... in the short term, it seems absurd that Google preserves snippets of what used to be on a website and sell advertising on the search results, even though the ability to read and see it for yourself is gone. That’s bad for journalists right now – but when social media is the only place to look for information and the links have disappeared, it’ll be bad for everyone else too. "
I am so over Medium. I hate the paywall lockdown of articles. Just not going to bother with it anymore. Regardless of what it was trying to do, it's ended up as walled garden who's probably sold your content to AI companies. Add it to the pile of #LinkRot
"Six weeks into the new administration, Wayback Machine director Graham said, the Internet Archive had cataloged some 73,000 web pages that had existed on U.S. government websites that were expunged after Trump's inauguration."
Support these people!

Poynter: As websites disappear, link rot threatens journalism. One Stanford fellow is working on a fix. “[Brandon] Tauszik discovered one of his projects, Syria Street, had disappeared due to link rot — the gradual decay of URLs and websites as they become broken, inaccessible or deleted over time. As a journalism fellow with the The Starling Lab for Data Integrity at Stanford, Tauszik has […]
