@debby @monocles @Stuxhost well, @delta / #deltaChat is not using #XMPP+#OMEMO (unlike #monoclesChat & #gajim) but #PGP/MIME on regular #eMail, which makes it way easier to setup in organizations as "nit yet another server needed" and also easier to comply with mandatory #archival laws in #business use-cases.

"I took much pains in sorting and folding of papers."

I agree so very very much, Sam. The folding part is often overlooked. A paper that is being put to use must be folded. It's a mark of recognition and appropriation. The unfolded paper is alien, the folded paper is trusted.

[The truth, I'm not sarky.]

I now have my own fully search-able mirror of #Kiwix hosted on my home server, including #Wikipedia. You can check it out at:

kiwix.marcusadams.me

Content may change as time goes on since I literally "just" got it set up and working, and you should definitely prioritize the original resources and donate to the folks hosting it. But IF some of these resources become unavailable from their original source, feel free to use my mirror as long as it's up.

The Indie Archive is taken. There is a domain name

theindiearchive.com

for a different paid service.

My project is open source and free to anyone to use.

I'm not even in beta so I'm going to rename.

So far we came up with

Indie Archival Storage

which is an accurate descriptor but not nearly as cool as The Indie Archive.

So ...

Any ideas?

If you're interested here's the link to my podcast, What Is The Indie Archive.

by pure chance I’ve stumbled upon a beautiful Indonesian web comic The Great Insula, 2024, which seems to be lost media :[

host was hardly crawled by Wayback, I can’t find a mention of its author. tried searching a few social media platforms. one chapter was shared before it disappeared.

DuckDuckGo still has some of the beautiful pages cached. I’ve saved a few of my favourites. just wanted to post here in the hopes it’s not lost forever. lossy archival </3

Hey #library, #archives, #oralHistory & #memoryWorker friends!

I'm teaching a course with @LibraryJuiceAcademy

⭐Solidarity Memory Work⭐
February 3 - March 2

This 4-week class begins with an examination of emerging #solidarity practices in allied fields, such as #journalism, academic #history, and #law. We then explore the practice of #documenting #movements and #organizations, as well as activating #archival records for a more just society.

Library Juice AcademySolidarity Memory Work - Library Juice AcademyMemory work is a broad category of practices, including archival science, librarianship, oral history, journalism, community history, and others, that seek to document a place, community, or event. Solidarity memory work is the application of these practices in explicit solidarity with movements and causes. As our society confronts contemporary civil rights struggles, solidarity memory work is quickly solidifying as a central site of documenting, sharing and preserving the stories of those on the front line. In this class, participants will explore the unique position of memory workers within the broader landscape of political organizing work.

Is there some kind of file #storage that does delta compression? I'd love to have a file #archive with

• revisions (i.e. changes to files are tracked)
• deduplication (identical files only take up space once)
• deltas (small changes to large files only take up the size of the difference)

Git would cover this, but doesn't work well with TBs of data. Backup software with delta support like Borg or restic can do it too, but have bad UX for tracking file revisions.
