Here are new and clean 300dpi scans of both manuals of the SimCity graphics sets: "Graphics Set 1 - Ancient Cities", as well as "Graphics Set 2 - Future Cities".
These are from 1990 and from the US versions of the expansions. These are also the same for both MS-DOS and Amiga... and probably Macintosh, too.Graphics Set 1: https://archive.org/details/simcity_graphics-1_manual/
Graphics Set 2: https://archive.org/details/simcity_graphics-2_manual/Have fun! 😉

Remember the hypnotic psychedlic #visualization from the #Milkdrop plugin in #Winamp?
I wasted enough time trying & failing to get modern equivalent Project-M to work on Linux.
But thanks to the #InternetArchive I don't even need to: I can just play some files in Webamp & it comes with Milkdrop! (although I haven't worked out how to make it fullscreen yet EDIT: right-click on Milkdrop > Fullscreen))
Plus you can try different skins, like this sweeeeet #Jaws one! 😆

As an aside, I was really happy to see that @theplentynet wiki exists because I hate that so many niche wikis are just on fandom (dot) com¹
And The Plenty have a forum running on @mybb software too.
💙
¹ Fandom is like Geocities for creating your own wiki on a specialist subject and hosts soooooo much information, owned by an American private equity firm, and I really hope @internetarchive are backing all of that up regularly.

Human Legacy And The Preservation Of Knowledge
The preservation of digital information is a problem that humans have tried to combat ever since the internet’s inception. There’s the Internet Archive, IPFS (Inter Planetary File System), and other various attempts to figure out how to preserve what we do, but the very concept of preservation is itself a difficult task. How do we humans ensure that our knowledge, or at least our ways of thinking about the world, is passed on to future generations, and can that knowledge last in […]https://johnbronze.wordpress.com/2026/07/13/human-legacy-and-the-preservation-of-knowledge/

So I was browsing through audio books on the #InternetArchive a little while ago. Sorted by highest all-time views and... yikes. I feel like my soul has been stained in ways that can never be cleaned. 😨

@PurpleJillybeans you #NerdSniped me with this, so down the 🐰🕳️ I went… 🤬😩
I was going to suggest that you reach out to the person who wrote the blog post below, but I see in the comments that he’s already been asked to upload the install media to #InternetArchive and has declined
the article might be of interest to you anyway – he lists his install configs & also links to video playlists of installations of lots of (all? 🤔) versions…
…which are on the official VMware YT channel 🤔
ah, OK. it looks like he currently works for #Broadcom, so that’s probably a dead end as far as getting the installers that he has (access to) preserved on IA 😕
How to install all versions of ESX and ESXi in VM?https://williamlam.com/2023/04/how-to-install-all-versions-of-esx-and-esxi-in-vm.html
it’s so frustrating that vendors don’t just make this available as part of preserving their own product history, if nothing else. I sincerely doubt that anyone’s going to be downloading & running ESX 1.5 in production 20+ years later to avoid buying the current version 🤪what I’d really like to see is legislation that mandates that all no-longer-supported software be made available publicly & released into the commons, but given the US is allergic to regulating just about anything I don’t see that happening any time soon 😩

More fun from the Internet Archive: Invaders from Mars (1953)
https://archive.org/details/invaders-from-mars-1953_202209
actually filmed in color (sort of). Technically, there's only one invader, though he does have a bunch of muscle to help him? Also, in this whole film, I didn't see a single cigarette being lit, which is impressive for the time.

Internet archival sites struggling to preserve the internet because of skyrocketing #harddrive prices due to the AI boom — #WaybackMachine and #Wikimedia punished by stratospheric storage pricing and stricter anti-scraping measures blocking the wrong bots
#InternetArchive, whose mission is to provide "universal access to all knowledge," is one of the organizations affected by this crisis. Holds 210PB of archives, with another 100TB added daily to the Wayback Machine.

It finally happened.
Someone correctly called Donald Trump a pedophile to his face.
And all I want to know is where is the video. We need to put that video on Internet Archive.

Well bother, my #InternetArchive uploading script had a bug, and I've overwritten something I uploaded a couple of days ago. I'm glad they keep a history directory (although I do also have local backups of course).

#TIL that #InternetArchive won't show #subtitles in .sub format, but you can easily convert to .srt format (which IS shown by IA) online at sites like https://subtitletools.com/convert-to-srt-online

Para relembrar quem ainda tenha #blog no #SAPO , e não queira perder o seu conteúdo, que está na altura de fazer o backup e exportar para outro alojamento antes do próximo dia 30 (de Junho).
Seria bom ver a migração para sites como o nosso Masto.pt, mas parece que o Blogger é o vencedor...🤷♀️
Entretanto, uma boa opção para a preservação de memória é o #InternetArchive com o serviço #WaybackMachine .
