Internet Archive As A CDN

Description

The top half is a dark-mode tweet from Phil, handle "@immunda," saying, "Hey @BarclaysUK; maybe don't use @internetarchive as a CDN for your JS assets? \u00af\\_(\u30c4)_/\u00af" Below it is a browser developer-tools Network panel for https://www.barclays.co.uk showing a request URL that starts with "https://web.archive.org/web/20200601165625/" and points to a Barclays JavaScript asset, with "Status Code: 200 OK" and response headers like "content-encoding: gzip" and "content-security-policy." The lower half shows a suited masked figure in front of a dense network-cable/data-center background, captioned "content delivery." The joke is that using an archival service as a production JavaScript delivery path is a spectacularly brittle substitute for an actual CDN, with obvious availability, cache, integrity, and security concerns.
