I got tired of TV shows and movies cluttering up my commercials, so I built software that deletes them automatically.
Fed it a 4:46:46 tape rip. Got back 22 minutes of ads.
The other 4.5 hours? Gone. As intended.
Should I release it?

Been in touch with some "Archivist" working on a comprehensive archive of all the Cybersix material...
They plan to release like a BitTorrent or something to make it easy to share and prevent "Link Rot"...
Excuse me, I'm not that technical...

Interestingly, CyberSix is not available on LaserDisc, HD-DVD, HDVS, W-VHS or D-VHS but was only released on regular VHS, DVD & blu-ray.
The VHS version seems particularly obscure...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cybersix/comments/1rfij7x/i_found_some_cybersix_vhs_tapes_and_cant_find_a/Still, it would've been very interesting to see a Hi-Vision LD with the words "サイバーシックス" on the cover.

Here's a New York Times article which talks about the process that one company goes through to preserve valuable recordings. It seems that tapes from before 1970 have fewer problems, a lot of tapes from the 70s and 80s are deteriorating fairly quickly. (Gift link)

Streaming platforms betrayed us. They deleted shows we loved. Criminalized sharing. And now, they're calling it “content strategy.”
Piracy may feel like rebellion—but it's not preservation. It's not ownership.
We believe art deserves better.
Read Christine Brenneke’s full breakdown of the broken promises in streaming and how we’re building something better:

Hey Fedi Friends, anyone have experience fighting with YouTube over copyright bullshit? I’m not entirely convinced this isn’t a troll and it’s taken down my whole channel, including some other endangered shows and my podcasts.
My main concerns being that I’d think Hasbro would have in-house lawyers, not some solo rando, and the original copyright ping when I uploaded them was from Hasbro Studios, not Hasbro, Inc.

My "masters" for ExoSquad (someone's web rip from Peacock that I torrented) seem to be getting along better with the "anime" upscaling models than my PAL DVD rips of Visionaries and Inhumanoids. I really should look into making a training model specifically for the style of 80s action cartoons, and maybe a robot-specific one trained on things with existing 1080p+ masters like TFTM and GaoGaiGar.

Donations and patronage keep me able to save #filmstrips. We are way behind, and dangerously close to having to shut down. We aren't eligible for grants, and this is full-time work. Can you help us spread the word?

I have been thinking about this for a while now, but I think it's time to actually pull the trigger. We need a database to document commercials/adverts etc.
Requirements:
- Easily record metadata in a standard format
- API available to query
- User contribution capabilities (well moderated)Ideally I want to use something off the shelf. MediaWiki seems to check the boxes, but looking for something less complex to general users.

The thing with media preservation is, while there are times that things are lost forever, many things thought lost can turn up in the possession of someone, somewhere, as long as there are more than one of the item, it was publicly available to keep at some point, and its distribution was wide enough to not make all copies easily destroyable by adversaries. "Who knows? Maybe it'll even be you."

As I continue digging deeper and deeper into media preservation, I think I've come across a pretty big gap. Commercials and adverts.
There's plenty of people saving them, but there isn't a central database of metadata or standards to follow like we have with movies (TMDB/IMDB) and TV (TVDB)
We need something similar for commercial metadata and a standard naming format to help with preservation

@crk5 Thank you for sharing this! I've added alt text to this, it pains me to see media just being thrown away instead of preserved and archived.

Question my old/lost media followers:
I'm currently going through old footage that is already preserved. But I am finding that the contents aren't well documented. There are clips in the video that can't be found by searching for it. Do I cut and publish those clips or something different?

*I feel this way because of the various bastardizations and abuses of the various original CD <colour>-book formats, and many modern drives' lacktacular subchannel reading ability.

Audio books and music sound more delicious when they are saved on your device and you can move the files where you want.
This is the only #audiophile mystical thinking I agree with! The bits get to you better because they are NOT being streamed!
(No, I'm not being literal, but if people want to think this I won't disabuse them of the notion. If you buy a file it ought to be yours, just like a book. )

Streaming services never have been and never will never be an 'archive' of any kind. Companies will yank things you love from streaming services, regardless of popularity, on a whim. You gotta own whatever you can.
Luckily, we also now have things like the amazing @internetarchive that we can search through-- all the millions of things they've preserved at https://archive.org. And we can add to it ourselves, too.
All in the name of preservation.

For anyone who missed it, here's the episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur that Disney pulled because it dealt with trans rights and the company didn't think it was compatible with the forthcoming new political leadership of the USA.

If you've downloaded an archive of your #Twitter #X data and you've got your own domain name and hosting, you can publically host your Twitter archive so your tweets live on free from Musk's hell site! 🕊️

I'm on the GOG mailing list - they alert you about deals and free game giveaways there. After I just redeemed a giveaway, they confirm what's in this image. I love it. Offline play. No DRM. Safeguards and rollbacks.
GOG has also been making promising steps for game preservation lately with their 'Preservation Program' for 'Good Old Games' that currently includes 92 games, and they're adding more (see https://www.yahoo.com/tech/gog-launches-preservation-program-porting-182458795.html).
GOG is doing things RIGHT.
