Shot in the dark, but does anyone have an archive of the CoDi-1 bit cellular automata github that was previously located at https://github.com/Lact0/CoDi?

It strangely comes up as 404, and not even the Wayback Machine has a snapshot

@nytpu I think that's more businesses being filled with idiots that don't care about #archival and #DataPreservation.

"Worth" shouldn't really be a factor at all.

If I had my way, governments would invest a *lot* more in those multi-century lifespan archival optical discs to try & make that petabyte disc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_CD-ROM) a thing so that long-term archival in government-provided facilities similarly to various already existing national archives would become vastly more widespread.

Here's a quote from a YouTube video I heard earlier today. 'In the modern age of the internet, we live by the motto that if something is online, it stays there. But the truth is that our creations are bound, sooner or later, to be cast into obscurity and forgotten'. Truer words were never spoken, and that's why, if you come across any you and/or others find valuable, I very strongly urge you to back it up and archive it anywhere you can, in as many places you can, be it OneDrive, Dropbox, the Internet Archive or your own website or file storage server. Let's work together to fight #DataRot and preserve as much of our online creations and discoveries as we possibly can! #data #archival #backup #preservation #DataArchival #DataBackup #DataPreservation

Because that is another problem, with time the amount of data grows making it harder to store it all and creating a distributed archive where everyone only keeps copies of stuff they see as worthy of being kept around the cost of storage would drop.

Maybe I will expand on this another time further

4/n

Beyond the current technologies used there is good potential that we can develop a network that serves as an archive but over time maintains itself and minimizes the amount of outdated data, a problem most archives on the #internet suffer from as they lack proper systems to remove outdated data.

And as long as there is an individual or group of people that see the data as still useful they can use their storage to keep it in the network.

#IPFS takes it further in the right direction with data being only preserved if someone decides to preserve it, resulting in a natural loss of unneeded data from the #network.

Like do we need EVERY version of a website or book archived if many times the changes are small enough to be placed in a small note that mentions the minor change, if the minor change is even really worth noting.

Further there should be a constant evaluation if any content that is archived is still needed, something that should be left to the individual.

Honestly the #InternetArchive goes into the right direction but lacks proper cataloging of all the content which results in many things being stored that have been superseded by newer versions or being duplicated.

For example any website that has multiple mirrors and that has every mirror archived instead of the main version (or the most prominent version) + any that diverge enough to warrant their own archive.

Turns out non of Jeff Rutkowski's (I've probably spelled that wrong) files from jeff.tdrealms.com are available on the #WaybackMachine. This is what happens when you shut down your website and don't archive your stuff! #DataPreservation #archival #DataArchival #DataBackup

Bought UT99 from GOG and now downloading offline copies of some important files like the Linux server and the PC Gaming Wiki article. You just never know when things are gonna be ripped off the Internet. If you cherish anything at all, get a copy offline.

Enhancing Data Reuse in the Social Sciences in Austria

Currently, in progress on https://ageofpee.rs/phaidracon2022-day3 as Zoom session.

JOIN! It is free.

#digitalhumanities #datapreservation #phaidra

The schedule for Phaidracon 2022 is final!

The topical focus for this year’s Vienna Sessions roundtables and conference day will be the reuse of academic data. Phaidracon explores both the societal and economic opportunities this presents, as well as the challenges: academic, legal, practical, technical, social and more.

I asked this in deadbirdland... Does anyone have a script to rumage through a #twitterbackup and replace all the t.co links with fully expanded URIs? #datapreservation #theendtimes

just thinking about the grad student i recently helped with using the {rtweet} package. here’s hoping that she gets her data out in time and that her research goes ok!
