    * Getting Wayback Machine to crawl a site:
         - doesn't provide a way on its own:
            "Internet Archive's crawls tend to find sites that are well
              linked from other sites."
         - There are ways to archive a whole site:
            o "If you wish to archive a small website, the Archive
               Team maintains the ArchiveBot, an IRC bot where you
               can request to crawl websites. The Archive Team will
               then submit the crawled pages to the Internet Archive's
               Wayback Machine."

               https://www.archiveteam.org/
               https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveBot

            o Download the site and upload all to wayback machine:
                $ wget -m https://example.com/
                $ find . -name "*.html" -exec curl -v "https://web.archive.org/save/https://{}" ';'
                   (or -type f if they aren't .html - these days!)
