  1. I'm once again asking people, especially those who host their research data and/or work on US-servers or with US-based services:
    Please backup your data on repositories, mirror your repos and save copies!

    One quick and reliable way: zenodo.org

    My point is: We need to act quickly.
    Yes, pay @Codeberg et al., but that shouldn't paralyze you to act.

  2. After just having done so (with consent):
    Dear #Scientists of all fields - if you use #GitHub to host your research software, please mirror your repos to alternatives like @Codeberg, @swheritage or repositories like zenodo (also data).
    Its very easy: docs.codeberg.org/advanced/mig

    No one knows if and when Microsoft/GitHub will go the route of Meta etc. pp.
    Better be prepared now #DigitalPreservation #DigPres

    Or at least consent to me forking your repos

  3. To close the Lightning Talks session at #ipres2024, Kenneth Seals-Nutt discusses (in his full paper) creating a chatbot tailored to #digpres trained on Wikidata. They used a combo of responses from LLMs and data from Knowledge Graphs to check that they could trace the movement from docs to data and whether they can retrace their steps from factually accurate information to source documents.

    Interested? A follow-on of their presentation will be discussed at their Birds of a Feather discussion.

  4. Excited to be attending #ipres2024 today in Ghent, Belgium – the largest iteration of the Digital Preservation conference to date! #digpres

  5. Our obligatory #Introduction post:
    We are a cloud-based software platform that helps take the stress out of building and managing your #DigitalArchives. We work with several archiving and digital preservation technology vendors and are part of the eArchiving consortium working with the European Commission.

    We will be launching our software soon so watch this space! We’ve joined Mastodon to be part of the #DigPres community and to offer our services. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

  6. Sabato 4 aprile è la giornata del 404. L'errore #HTTP404 è il triste segno di un documento perduto.

    La wayback machine di #InternetArchive cerca di eliminarlo dalla nostra vita. Archiviazione e #digpres / #digipres sono un dovere verso la cultura.

  7. Non solo #AcquaAlta, piene e allagamenti: le #biblioteche sono continuamente a rischio distruzione e vanno preservate ogni giorno.
