  1. Lorraine Hurdle (second from left), a gay woman who served during WW2, with fellow friends and veterans of the WAC, USA, photo taken in the 1960s

  2. @croyle Probably too difficult. In my case only #Oceania was missing. To make it a bit harder I applied for the phone award.

  3. 今日は厳しいので…ってこれ(→ tver.jp/live/simul/lez5rdatx3 Via #TVer Specialised for the…#AppleStore for the #iOS187 スペシャルライブのお知らせ)です。

    では…日本国内のみの対応アプリですので(私が)#Mastodon に登録した #Piaille#fr )など海外の在留邦人の皆様や現地の皆様に関しては?…#WAC のサイトの方から…御確認下さいませ…。

  4. Alltså, jag tog en promis idag. Kämpade i värme som direkt från Satans kalsonger och kepslös flint.

    Då susar en av #Sverige ´s bästa idrottare förbi mig.
    Jag, som vanligt artig och starstruck, håller käften. Yttrar inte ett ord till pepp. Ångrar mig som vanligt efteråt...

    Men, #PerseusKarlström hade säkert ett par mil kvar på sitt träningspass och behövde inte att jag kom med något lamt.

  5. OK, another talk (no longer at #WAC), on communication infrastructure power and ideology by Niels Ten Oever.

    #infraPower

  6. @bortzmeyer

    Very neat, thank you for the #WAC 🧵!

    @IHI is a bit sad that the International Internet Preservation Consortium relies on an X account for its online presence

  7. Example done with a Web site depending on PHP 5 :-)

    #WAC

  8. ReproZip-Web, a tool to capture (in the mathematical sense) all what is needed to reproduce a very dynamic Web site, with dependencies. (Something that ordinary crawlers cannot get.)

    github.com/reprozip-news-apps/

    "You need a Linux operating system and it can be difficult to get access at such a system.."

    #WAC

  9. If I understand correctly, the goal is to put Internet Archive on IPFS (as WARC files).

    But IPNS (IPFS naming system) has limits. Hence the new type, the IPARO, a list of IPFS names pointing to the various versions of an archived Web page.

    Plus links going directlty to some points in the list (for resiliency, since IPFS does not guarantee persistence.)

    #WAC

  10. "Decentralized Web Archiving and Replay via InterPlanetary Archival Record Object (IPARO)" is an attractive title.

    #WAC

  11. Now, "bit preservation" (presevving bits for the long term, not taking semantics into account).
    * several copies (and no SPOF)
    * check them

    #WAC

  12. The Internet-Draft is expired and there is no plan to revive it. The only specification for #PWID seems to be iana.org/assignments/urn-forma

    #WAC

  13. Now, back to identifiers, at #WAC "The Potentials and Challenges for Researchers and Web Archives Using the Persistent Web IDentifier (PWID)" (The speakers even have T-shirts branded "PWID".)

    (The english-speaking Wikipedia page on PWID is not the expected one.)

    An example of PWID:
    urn:pwid:archive.org:2016-01-22T10:08:23Z:page:dr.dk

    (from the Internet-Draft)

  14. In the end, back to traditional Web scraping, and data donations.
    (Medialab SciencesPo currently crawls and scraps #Doctissimo.)

    #WAC

  15. TikTok has an API but its use requires that all research papers where it was used have to be pre-approved by TikTok!

    #WAC

  16. Jérôme Thièvre (INA) is the first to mention Bluesky (which apparently has a working API but little content).

    #WAC

  17. Several speakers in the panel do not follow the title: they talk about what they did *before*, when API use was possible.
    Anat Ben-David, on the contrary, explains what could be done in the future. APIs were not so good, after all (for instance, you are never sure of what they hide).

    #WAC

  18. Facebook closed its API long ago, pretending it was because of Cambridge Analytica (but the real reason was commecial), shutting down many research projects on social media.

    #WAC #APIcalypse

  19. Now, panel at #WAC "Archiving Social Media In An Age of APIcalypse" (Twitter closed its API).

    [Wondering how to archive the fediverse.]

    @f_moncomble

  20. Poster session at #WAC: I loved the "(most|least) cool club", a club of people managing Web crawlers and sharing (unfortunately with JIra and Confluence) regexps of things to exclude from the crawl (loop traps and things like that).
