"Collect once" sounds like a slogan until one looks at the machinery: ask a forge what changed, skip everything that did not, transfer only the difference. 👉 https://www.dicosmo.org/good-enough/ #GoodEnoughIsNotGoodEnough #DigitalPreservation #Metadata #OpenSource

lol just randomly threw a self burned game disc into the drive (one that I back then wasn't able to copy but that a relative could just easily copy using the proprietary tool pre-installed on his multimedia notebook). And look like it creates perfect copies. The hash matched an entry in redump And it is copy-x and ring protected.

I came across an interesting 23-chapter CAD-history site. What once would have meant days of fiddling with wget, an editor, and Calibre took a couple of hours of persistent nagging at GPT: a clean offline copy with no website chrome or marketing, local images, navigation and footnotes, plus an EPUB with linked notes and captioned figures for comfortable smartphone reading.

And help you friends and everyone you know to also dump their media.
(And in case someone knowledgeable with low level programming reads this, the redumper project could use some help in dealing with these kinds of copy protection as currently only proprietary tools for certain types exist that produce a fully working dump)

Post 13 in this thread appears to be the best summary of the situation btw:

It appears redump[.]info is basically setting themselves up to be sued into the ground.
What a clown show.

Holly shit, what has been going on in the #Redump community lately. You don't check in on it for the summer and it basically shits itself violently.
Wtf?!? The project apparently split in redump[.]org (the original one) and a new redump[.]info
And when doing so they defaced and deleted a bunch of the stuff on redump[.]org?!?
WTF?!?

Preserve a Public Noblogs Site
Public movement history should not disappear because a server, provider or domain does.
If you run a Noblogs site, save two different things:
A WordPress export containing the material needed to rebuild the site.
A static mirror showing the public site as readers actually saw it.
If you administer the site
Open `YOURBLOG.noblogs.org/wp-admin` and sign in.
In the dashboard, select Tools → Export.
Select All content, then press Download Export File.
Rename the downloaded file `blogname-export-YYYY-MM-DD.xml`.Install the free, open-source program HTTrack.
Open HTTrack and select Next or New Project.
Give the project your blog’s name and choose where the backup should be stored.
Select Add URL, paste the complete public homepage address, then select Next → Finish.When the download finishes, choose Browse Mirrored Website. Open several posts, archive pages, images and downloadable files to make sure they work.
Put the WordPress XML file and the entire HTTrack project folder inside one clearly dated folder. Keep one copy on your computer and another on a separate drive or trusted location.
The XML export does not preserve the site’s appearance. The HTTrack mirror is not a replacement for the WordPress export. Keep both.
If you are preserving someone else’s public site
For an important individual page:
Open the public page and copy its complete URL.
Go to Internet Archive: Save Page Now.
Paste the URL and press Save Page.
Open the archived result and confirm that it works.Install the free, open-source SingleFile browser extension.
Return to the original public page, wait for it to finish loading, click the SingleFile icon and save the resulting `.html` file.For a whole public site, follow the HTTrack instructions above using the public homepage. Do not sign in, enter passwords or attempt to reach private pages.
Record the page title, author or collective, original URL, publication date and the date you saved it. Internet Archive is an additional copy, not your only copy. Submitting a homepage does not guarantee that the Archive captured every linked page.
Finally, test the local backup with Wi-Fi turned off. Open its `index.html`, click through several pages, and make sure images and documents load.
Preserve public material only. Do not bypass logins, collect private data or republish material that could expose people. Respect authorship, context and removal requests.An export is not a mirror. A mirror is not enough. Keep both. Keep two copies.
