Well, today I spent the day as a volunteer in the Mills Archive (no relation), scanning photos of watermills in Devon and adding them to the catalogue.
My intent for doing this (one day a week) is to get some experience, and retrain as an archivist. I don't want to keep doing software development as a job, given the utter state the industry's in these days. It'll still be a hobby, as it has been for the last 45 years, but just that.

really happy to have discovered something hiding in plain sight for several years: robyn & rand miller's original Myst pitch document from 1991.
it's a succinct work of art in itself. i'm surprised at how much of the world design was already on paper.
as all of the copies found elsewhere online are heavily compressed webp/jpeg, i've uploaded the robyn's original PNGs to IA here:

Been in touch with some "Archivist" working on a comprehensive archive of all the Cybersix material...
They plan to release like a BitTorrent or something to make it easy to share and prevent "Link Rot"...
Excuse me, I'm not that technical...

#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent
Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

Trying to find a post from Cohost with like, avali and rubber tf
Rapidly discovering that the export I've got doesn't include liked posts nor reposts and so I am just... sitting here grumbling, and really not wishing to dip into web archive stuff. Which uh, if using it as just "visit old url" isn't very useful for going through tags. And my own user page doesn't load fully...

Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場（系列工作坊).
Join for a participatory #theatre #workshop inspired by the work of #DowntownEastside #documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the #Chinese #HeadTax and #ExclusionRedress movement to documenting countless actions against #gentrification and #displacement - Sid’s #art of #activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and #solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of #DTES and #Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.
Please note, these workshops are 3 hours long.
Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. #Cantonese and #Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.
Saturday, November 8th, 4pm-7pm.
401 Main Street, #VancouverBC.https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/lo-wah-kiu-workshop-tickets-1749159536259
