Behold: a MediaWiki registry for the MoribundMurdoch Tumblr archipelago, assembled before the blogs drift into the fog like poorly catalogued ephemera [temporary whatnot, maybe worth preserving, because I’m going to die & unless I set up a Doctor Who situation for my stuff, I guess it’s gone] whatnot.

Dreams, watch-history commentary, eudaimonia [human flourishing], noctivagant [night-wandering] corridors, & other mullock [nonsense].

I was digging through some old backups and found these photos from 2009.

Captured on a 2-megapixel Nokia 6233.

No filters, no AI processing, no HDR. Just the raw, unoptimized Eastern European vibe.

Sometimes hardware limitations capture the actual atmosphere of a place much better than any modern smartphone lens could.

It feels like a paused background process from the past.

hello~~ working on organizing my personal digital archive. looking for resources or thoughts on file management particularly for decades worth of photos, documents, and personal digital projects (collage, video etc). what logic do you follow for your folders? do you think your logic is / could be legible to others? if you re-started your folder hierarchy from scratch, what might you do differently?

currently working with a docs/photos dichotomy at the very top level, then largely by year within those. but it gets messy from there.

"The core technical challenge was clear: How do we allow investigators to move fast while maintaining a forensic chain of custody? A simple screenshot is insufficient for legal or historical proof. We needed a system where an investigator could claim, “at this time and date, I browsed this unique URL which contained precisely this content,“ and be able to back it up with cryptographic proof."

Why you shouldn't rely entirely on the @internetarchive:

A case from the shady world of online casinos: delasport, an IT infrastructure provider for online gambling sites was apparently succeful with deletion request.

When you search for delasport.com on the Wayback Machine, you get "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine": https://web.archive.org/web/20250000000000*/delasport.com

I am wondering how they justified their request

Citizen Historians for the Smithsonian Is Creating a Digital Archive of Exhibits – School Library Journal

Citizen Historians for the Smithsonian Is Creating a Digital Archive of Exhibits

by Kara Yorio, Oct 03, 2025 | Filed in News & Features

The all-volunteer initiative is documenting exhibits at the more than 20 Smithsonian Institution museums and the National Zoo in response to the Trump administration’s announcement that museums’ contents would be subject to review and revision to align with the president’s directive.

When retired Virginia school librarian Mary Anne O’Rourke learned about a project to digitally archive the Smithsonian Institution museums, she immediately wanted to volunteer.

“I spent my career teaching children how to research and look up facts, how to know facts from distortions, and what were good sources? The Smithsonian has been our greatest source,” says O’Rourke, who was a preK–8 librarian for 11 years after being a classroom teacher and working at the Smithsonian Visitor Information Center.

Citizen Historians for the Smithsonian is an all-volunteer effort to document everything on display at the Smithsonian’s 21 museums, the National Zoo, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Volunteers take photos and videos of exhibits in this crowdsourced archiving endeavor. Organizers call it “Crowd to Cloud” and plan to make the information accessible to the media and public.

The initiative is a response to an August letter sent by the Trump administration to the Smithsonian Institution secretary stating that exhibits were subject to review and revision in an effort to “reflect the unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story.” The letter went on to say it was an effort to “ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives.”

After learning of the administration’s intentions, Georgetown University history professors Chandra Manning and James A. Millward wanted to take action. Inspired by Save Our Signs—which seeks to document signs and information at National Parks that may be removed by the administration—Manning and Millward sent an email to the university’s history department saying they wanted to find a way to document the Smithsonian exhibits. Upon receiving the email, Jessica Dickinson Goodman, a graduate research assistant at the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, immediately proposed possible ways of achieving the goal and offered to help coordinate. Not only is the dual master’s student pursuing a degree in Global, International, and Comparative History, the Smithsonian also holds a special place in her personal history.

“When I was in college, my partner and I were long distance, and we would meet up every other weekend in D.C. and go to the Smithsonian,” Dickinson Goodman says. “They are very personal to me. They’re a big part of my sense of my country, and my sense of my field, and my sense of pride in what it means to be an American—that we can produce these amazing free institutions to the public and to the world. And these institutions hold within them a huge amount of human wisdom and American and world experience that deserve to be accessible.”
