@ww super cool! Tagging this for more reach: #getfedihired #academicjobs #sciop #safeguardingresearch #scienceundersiege

Initiatives like @SafeguardingResearch work hard to rescue #researchData that are (about to be) deleted by the Trump administration, by using a Bittorrent network where many small nodes contribute.

This is a very #solarpunk way of doing science: community-driven, decentralized & resilient #SolarpunkScience.
Some tinker projects:

🎯1. Develop the most low-cost (in €, material resources, and CO2) p2p solution for data rescueing.

Maybe a #RaspberryPi + existing HDD? Reuse existing hardware. Compute costs in absolute and relative way (€ and CO2 per terabyte of data stored & shared). Is a bigger server plugged to a uni network more efficient in relative costs?

🎯2. Run a hackathon, help others to install the bittorrent clients on whatever machine they have.

🎯3 (Bonus): Build a purely solar powered, autonomous seeding node. E.g. the #LowTechMagazine went a long way in optimizing a web server that runs on solar + battery (achieving >95% uptime on a 50W solar setup)
https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2020/01/how-sustainable-is-a-solar-powered-website/

Imagine little autonomous, solar powered seeding nodes standing in gardens, tirelessly sharing research data whenever the sun is shining. A project that regenerates our digital commons in a sustainable, community-led way 🌱.

Please share your thoughts - is this a feasible and worthwhile project?

Martha Whitehead, Vice President for the #Harvard Library and University Librarian, just said loud and clear:
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are part of everything they do.

I statement well worth sharing ✊
(and she was grateful for my question, because it gave her the opportunity to say it this clearly)
