    I know of at least one US government web page that still references “Gulf of Mexico”, but I don’t want to link it, because I’m very curious to see how long it can fly under the radar. I have a thing set up that checks the page regularly and will alert me whenever it changes.

    Is there a way to set up archive.org or something like that to save regular snapshots without risking drawing more attention to it?

      Install ArchiveBox. Even if you don’t have a home server or VPS, you can run it on your regular PC - it’s just a Docker container, or if you don’t like Docker, you can run the Python code directly. http://archivebox.io/

      That way, it’s under your full control, and you keep all the data.

      For tracking changes to sites, changedetection.io is free and open-source if you self-host it. Just their remotely hosted version costs money.
