Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
PR Summary
Implementation of #13282
PR Context
This PR adds the
-SSHTransportPathparameter to allow specification of a custom ssh executable. While it can be used to use a custom version of OpenSSH for compatibility or troubleshooting reasons, the primary impetus is to enable transport authors to substitute their own executables in order to provide alternative transports (such as websockets, rendevous, Azure Bastion-like services, phone-home debug sessions, etc.), since all Powershell does is spawn ssh and then pass stdin/stdout PSRemoting XML to/from the program.This PR is intended to be as low impact and non-breaking as possible, and as such the Arguments passed to the command do not change and are not customizable, however they do provide all the information required to establish a session so a custom wrapper can translate the SSH arguments into whatever working options it requires.
This is intended as a low-impact stop gap until the PSRemoting engine is decoupled into a subsystem and a proper CustomTransportHandler interface is provided.
WIP to complete
