#archiving — Public Fediverse posts

So, I see that a few of #WMPG's podcasts and shows are on the #InternetArchive. I've been downloading some of their more political shows to upload as a record of these times...

Welcome to the Internet Archive #Switzerland, where they valiantly attempt to preserve "collective knowledge" while Switzerland remains neutral in yet another global endeavor. 📚🇨🇭 With their groundbreaking project of #archiving #AI, they aim to achieve "universal access to all knowledge" — because clearly, we didn't have enough data clutter already. 😂🔍

Ich werde zur #EH23 meinen mini-PC zum Retten und Archivieren von Optischen Medien (mit LibreDrive) mitbringen. Habs soeben auch auf die Dating Seite geschrieben. Also falls jemand Interesse hat, einfach mit Medien vorbei kommen :)

Wäre jedoch gut, wenn jemand noch einen guten Flachbettscanner mitbringen könnte um die Bilder auf den Disks, sowie die Microcodes auf der Unterseite, etc. mit Digitalisieren zu können.

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...

I wish I had taken more photos of my computers back in the interesting time before PCs and Macs took over. I went through so many.

I so wish that.

If I'd try to create a dump of a Blue Ray with AACS with the Media Preservation Frontend, is it supposed to report that it dumped it successfully but then the dumped ISO not being playable?

From what I read in this issue BEE should have been disabled in both the original BD as well as the ISO. (first bit in 2nd byte of that file is 0)

So is this an issue with copy protection or a bug in #MPF?

I thought that other #CD was backing up quite slowly. Well this one is even slower. It takes almost 20 seconds per sector (thankfully not for all of them)

Also it causes a stand-by bug with the drive. when aaru leaves the drive idle for a bit too long I've to manually open and close the tray again or it will just silently ignore the commands and aaru will tink it accesses the disk but the drive actually doesn't do anything…

CNN: Inside the old church where one trillion webpages are being saved. “The White House in January ordered vast amounts of government webpages to be taken down. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is blurring the line between what’s real and what’s artificially generated — in some ways replacing the need to visit websites entirely. And more of the internet is now hidden behind paywalls or […]

"The FBI is attempting to unmask the owner behind archive.today, a popular archiving site that is also regularly used to bypass paywalls on the internet and to avoid sending traffic to the original publishers of web content, according to a subpoena posted by the website. The FBI subpoena says it is part of a criminal investigation, though it does not provide any details about what alleged crime is being investigated. Archive.today is also popularly known by several of its mirrors, including archive.is and archive.ph.

The subpoena, which was posted on X by archive.today on October 30, was sent by the FBI to Tucows, a popular Canadian domain registrar. It demands that Tucows give the FBI the “customer or subscriber name, address of service, and billing address” and other information about the “customer behind archive.today.”"

Internet Archive is now an official #USGovernment document #library

"The US Senate has granted the Internet Archive federal depository status, making it officially part of an 1,100-library network that gives the public access to government documents, #KQED reported. The designation was made official in a letter from California Senator Alex Padilla to the Government Publishing Office that oversees the network. 'The Archive's digital-first approach makes it the perfect fit for a modern #FederalDepositoryLibrary, expanding access to federal government publications amid an increasingly digital landscape,' he wrote.

"Established by Congress in 1813, the Federal Depository Library Program is designed to help the public access government records. Each congressional member can designate up to two libraries, which include government information like budgets, a code of federal regulations, presidential documents, economic reports and census data.

"With its new status, the Internet Archive will be gain improved access to government materials, founder Brewster Kahle said in a statement. 'By being part of the program itself, it just gets us closer to the source of where the materials are coming from, so that it’s more reliably delivered to the Internet Archive, to then be made available to the patrons of the Internet Archive or partner libraries.' The Archive could also help other #libraries move toward #DigitalPreservation, given its experience in that area.

"It's some good news for the site which has faced legal battles of late. It was sued by major #publishers over loans of #DigitalBooks during the #Coronavirus epidemic and was forced by a federal court in 2023 to remove more than half a million titles. And more recently, major music labels filed lawsuits over its #Great78Project that strove to preserve #78RPM records. If it loses that case it could owe more than $700 million damages and possibly be forced to shut down.

"The new designation likely won't aid its legal problems, but it does affirm the site's importance to the public. 'In October, the Internet Archive will hit a milestone of 1 trillion pages,' Kahle wrote. 'And that 1 trillion is not just a testament to what libraries are able to do, but actually the sharing that people and governments have to try and create an #EducatedPopulace.' "

I’ve been thinking lately (always a mistake) about all the cultural works to which we don't have access. Everything removed from streaming; everything locked behind DRM so that most libraries and archives won't have copies which can redundantly survive disruption. Sometimes I get real sad about the future readers and historians and others who just won't be able to find copies of the incredible things made during the current digital dark age.

As ever, I try to let this radicalize me rather than lead me into despair. I know that there are lots of horrors worth raging against, but this is one I feel well-positioned to work against. It's low-stakes enough that I won't feel self-loathing if I burn out or need to take a break. It's no secret that I like to read and organize books so this is a topic close to my heart and one which can bring me joy and allow me to share it with those around me too. There is a fair bit of tech nerd stuff to it, enough that I have an opportunity to learn & practice new things, but not so much that I’m totally out of my depth. And there are plenty of communities out there to help and share strategies.

But the big thing I see missing from my understanding and many of the conversations about shadow libraries and unauthorized archivism is the social and professional practice of librarianship rather than mechanical practice of data storage. I don't have space to go to library school, but I could definitely stand to read (and archive) introductory books on the topic, or take an online class. Friends who know: what are some of the better places to get started with an introduction to library & information science and archive science?

Long-term archiving of digital data is probably the most challenging task in data management. This video clip by musician/producer/mixer/composer Billy Hume illustrates this in an entertaining way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq4BOSaKiYo&t=283s (The link jumps directly to the relevant section, which is about 3 minutes long.)
