Zembla relocated to archive.org

Zembla has become an archive-only site, via archive.org. Following the link here should take you to a useable version of the site and its components. The link to Zembla under "Websites" has also been modified; in the future that link should remain valid. At the moment, the "Criticism" section (articles) appears to display functionally in Firefox, but not in Chrome or Edge.
