We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Future Knowledge, a new podcast from the Internet Archive and Authors Alliance. Hosted by Chris Freeland, librarian at the Internet Archive, and Dave Hansen, executive director of Authors Alliance, the series brings together authors, librarians, policymakers, technologists, and artists to explore how knowledge, creativity, and policy intersect in today’s fast-changing world.

In each episode, an author discusses their book or publication and the big ideas behind it—paired with a thought-provoking conversation partner who brings a fresh perspective from the realms of policy, technology, libraries, or the arts.

The post in the link was submitted on Jan. 30. and OP said the email was sent 3 days before that, which would put the beginning of archival (3 months from date of email) on April 27.

(sorry to post this again but i figured maybe someone can hear about it last minute)

In case you haven't looked into it yourself yet...

ArchiveTeam are independent from IA, but their stuff mostly does end up uploaded into the Wayback Machine. Storage space (like yours) isn't usually what they are looking for, but rather the internet bandwidth and "virgin" IP address of aforementioned "warriors" running their code to scrape different websites, and then uploading the results to AT's servers, where they are collected and eventually uploaded again to IA.

Check out https://tracker.archiveteam.org/ for current projects

ArchiveTeam are "planning" to save everything(?), but they should have started like two months ago, if they have any hope of doing that. Dunno if it's being worked on at all. Plus committing to a multiple petabyte project I assume takes some doing.

I've scarcely visited the site myself, but I looked around for stuff of interest to me and bagged them. yt-dlp works just fine!

Videos not viewed within the last year will start to be archived, watchable only by the uploader, and then deleted after a three month grace period.

If you have anything you hold dear on Dailymotion, it is well past time to start hoarding it.

It’s a creative act to find and make sense of my own history, one that requires a leap of faith in order to fill in the silences, erasures, omissions, and genuine mysteries that old books and documents, records and artifacts, represent. A lot is left to the imagination. Much of what survives from the past asks more questions than we can answer. This is true for queer and trans archival traces, as it is for other aspects of humanity that are poorly accounted for in public records, or actively discriminated against through surveillance and omission in equal parts.

Wasn't sure where to cross-post it on .ca! Québec, duh! Thanks.

Old "mundane" footage like this is always interesting, I would say!

SS Blog [New Archival Project] (tracker.archiveteam.org)

Archive Team has just begun the distributed archiving of the Japanese SS Blog, a blog hosting service, which is set to be discontinued on March 31, 2025.

And you can help! There isn't much time left, so as many people running the warrior as possible is needed.

Resources:

  • The wiki page of the project (not much info)
  • The tracker (at the top of the page) has the simplest info on how you can help out
  • The github page offers a docker-based alternative for advanced users, and more info on best practices for this sort of archiving

Why help out?

The web is disappearing all the time, and often a lot of previously easily accessible information is lost to time. These japanese blogs may not be very important to you, but they certainly are to a lot of people, and nobody knows what sort of information is found only here, until they need it.
