alt Hacker NewsThe site is returning Forbidden for me and they seem to have also blocked archive.* sites. A bit of a mean thing for a public university to do.

Is the entire utcc.utoronto.ca return 403 or just utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks? Maybe it's no longer common knowledge, but the ~string part typically means it's hosted in a way so individual unix users can somewhat control their own environments, sometimes with .htaccess files or other things, and adjust the responses from the web-servers somewhat.
Anyways, the point being that it might not be the university doing it, but an individual user. I guess the former would be kind of shitty, but the latter is maybe ok as individuals should be able to chose freely?
FWIW, both the domain at large + this specific URL seems to work fine for me in Spain.
Same here, my web browser shows as coming from 'Big Giant Firewall Company'....
Works great for me :)

You have to use "su" :)
Wayback has it: <https://web.archive.org/web/20260602133826/https://utcc.utor...>
Archive Today presently does not, and I'm getting hung up on Captcha tests trying to submit a bug report. Present broken archive: <https://archive.is/Nv9Ik>. If someone else could submit a "Bad Grab" report I'd appreciate it.
Edit: Re-reading the archived error page: ~cks specifically blocks Archive.Today, which is unfortunate.
(In general, check popular archive tools, such as the Internet Archive (above) or Archive Today, and post a working link rather than griping about individual site access issues.)
