What’s the easiest way to get archive links to stuff like this. I always have to wait until someone posts the link.

Just go to the main archive site: https://archive.ph/ and search the URL.

If it is already archived, you'll be able to open the archive copy.

If it is not, then you are given the option of causing it to be archived, and when done, you'll be given the archive url.

or search (in the field at the bottom of the page) for previous HN posts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34199303

I keep a line of JavaScript as a bookmarklet to do this:

  javascript:void(open('http://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))
