Does anyone else think it's weird that http://web.archive.org/ doesn't auto-upgrade to https: ? I mean, it's 2019, not 1999!

Also, when the Carrington event occurs, or when GPS goes out or there is a general event/issue with time, you can still get to all that information that's still available on simple http. Once you have a timing issue, hello walled garden of data for everything https. (Paranoia for all the preppers out there)

To be fair, if you're really concerned about information being lost you should be backing it up locally anyways.
