Looking forward to doing a bit of a virtual lunch and learn, tuning into @TeamMidwest 's talk "Place Based Planning" at 12 PM EST.
> The impacts of climate change make preserving cultural heritage more challenging for the heritage and arts sectors... Participants in this workshop will learn how to use online tools to interpret climate data at the local and regional level to understand the risks for long-term impacts of climate change.
There is also a "climate circle" on March 21st, registration is on the bottom of the page.

New blogpost about #Obsidian as a digital community archiving tool.
I describe a collaborative way to record information, in an intuitive text format (markdown) and live visualization as a network graph:
If someone needs to backup all USDA SNOTEL data (as climate adjacent) and therefore "reasons", here is gist using my {snotelr} #rstats package.

@gutenberg_org @internetarchive is anyone doing anything about the idea of including the codec with the scan for future future generations? I love digital archiving but at the same time there are already videos in my own archive that I can no longer easily decode.

As a fellow digital packrat, I relate strongly to this Digital Packrat Manifesto.
Just discovered ArchiveBox — FOSS, self-hosted internet archiving.
The way the web is going, with the US government redacting and outright erasing historic content, publishers segmenting content by region (and also sometimes redacting/censoring it), and CloudFlare shitting all over everything, I think it's time for me to start my #archiving and #DataHoarding journey.

How to archive Google Group messages? I want to archive #BosNet messages (which were copied into GG), retaining the thread structure, if possible, but if not, an enormous PDF would be better than nothing.
HOW? Can I plug the group page into the WayBack machine, or would that just save the one page? Would ArchiveWeb.page do this?
Also found the direct link to bit.listserv.bosnet and many others, but can't open the link w/o a reader.

Archiving Gmail - help?
I want to download all of my email from the beginning of my account until 2023 and then wipe it off the Gmail servers. I am not sure how to do this, because every solution I have found so far will synchronize my storage solution to my Gmail acocunt.
With Thunderbird I can go POP to delete all new incoming messages, but that is kind of the opposite of what I am looking for.
Ideas?

@jalefkowit I now wonder if the wires-soldered-to-the-VCR trick could pick up chroma dot information. Looking at you, Year of the Sex Olympics

What technology would you suggest I use to start building a web-based log/database of things in my collection/archive?
These range from books to prints to original artworks to stickers and even small physical objects.
I was looking at Zotero, which ticks a few boxes, but would prefer something that's a bit more stripped back in terms of detail, and works for a wider range of items.
Can be self-hosted, although I don't have a huge budget.
New blog post:
"If it is worth keeping, save it in Markdown"
In one of Stanisław Lem's stories, "The Memoirs Found in a Bathtub," all written materials are into dust. While this is science fiction, something similar happens in our digital world.

A fascinating afternoon sorting things for archiving or disposing. The left row is all drivers. A full set of AWE32 drivers were found.

Hey lovely techie people! I am trying to archive an abscure 3DS game that doesn't have much info on it from my own 3DS hardware - that's all fine, I have decompiled the ROM! Feeling good!
However, I have a bunch of .ANIM files and i am wondering if there is a way to convert them maybe to gif, or if there is a software to open them in and then convert to gif?
My searching through years of old forums are getting me nowhere!
"This is, after all, the ephemeral truth of the Internet: if you don’t save it, even if it seems like it’s everywhere momentarily, it will just as quickly disappear."
I think most SDF members are capable of doing this if they have bandwidth and room.

Interested in #DigitalPreservation and #archiving? The @muckrock team is looking for volunteers for their #DataLiberation project.
"Since 2022, the Data Liberation Project — a volunteer effort led by data journalist Jeremy Singer-Vine — has used [Freedom of Information Act] laws and web scraping to make a wide range of government data sets public and usable.
Their efforts have helped newsrooms and the public keep an eye on [Transportation Security Administration] complaints, explore data on over 58,000 boating accidents and examine an expansive collection of hazardous material transportation reports."
