       "Two days ago" here refers to a date in 2021, which is when archive.org archived the site.Seriously, just display the actual date. Trying to be clever and showing a delta just means it will always be wrong. It gets more wrong the longer the browser tab remains open (unless you waste CPU keeping it updated).

       @dentangle Seriously. We already have the time tag in HTML, so let the user's browser decide how to the timestamp and everyone else fall back to an ISO8601 representation.
