WOAH. That's massive badness. Thanks so much for the heads-up, @quintuple-lained. Hey... wait a minute. Is "quintuple lained" like four times the Serial Experiments Lain!? I support you in this brave endeavour. One cannot have enough Lain. 😄

Sadly, given what I've read on Reddit (e.g., this thread), there is currently no working C:DDA wiki. Instead, everyone now advises using the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Cataclysm. So, that's probably what we'll switch the URL to. Probably. </sigh>

Totally. Actually... is there a Wayback Machine copy of the old link? If so, we could probably just link to that and call it a day. If not, this issue will remain open until the heat death of the universe. 😸

There is, but considering the recent attack on the archive it may not be a perfect solution

Superbness! Excellent catch. Thanks so much for being on the ball and then riding that ball like a boss, @quintuple-lained.

I... agree that the recent DDoS attacks on Wayback are concerning. They sadden us all. But "the perfect is the enemy of the good," blah, blah. It's a trite and annoying response, but it's also maybe true here. A Wayback URL is definitely good enough for this overlay. I have no standards and am lazy. Is a Wayback URL good enough for Portage? Maybe... not. I'm happy to let that be somebody else's problem, though. Let them eat cake and buggy URLs.

If you'd like to submit a PR for this, I'd 😻 to merge that. Alternately, I'll do this myself at some point after you poke me in the ribs a few times about this. </my_ribs_hurt_already>
