Due to the current data preservation emergency, I'm pretty sure I'm going to find at least 20 terabytes to stuff into an old 8 drive tower that I'm building out of junk box parts and then I will host government data mirrors that the fascists have wiped out. #datahoarder #datapreservation #fascists
Are you a fellow data hoarder? Have some spare terabytes? Start here:

Is anyone out there creating an archive of the EPA’s website? There is a lot of valuable information that could be lost if someone were to do something stupid like, say, remove every mention of climate change.
@mia is up next on integrating enriched metadata into collections platform. "Have we looked after the data we asked people to contribute?"
Me: this sounds like a call for #DigitalPreservation #DigiPres #DataPreservation
There does not seem to be an #AccurateRip compatible CD ripper for headless #Linux machines

@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.
