#web preservation

[miaqc1]

This Monday, I added (cached?) html links to the Wayback Machine. 💻

Hunter Hunted game related, pages from the Star Fox Wikia, Carrie Fernandez pages, my works page on Ao3 & Squidgeworld, etc.

Praise be the wayback machine. 🙂 It allow me to discover old websites as well.

Internet Archive and 'The Wayback Machine' are Experiencing an Existential, Legal Threat.

Below is a link to a petition whose goal it is to save one of the most effective tools against digital censorship available to the public.

"At a time when digital information is being deleted, rewritten, and erased, preservation is more important than ever."

Signing this petition is FREE and takes less than 5 minutes.

Recently, user @we-are-astronomer was able to utilize Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to locate and preserve government articles DELETED from the NASA website by Trump Administration censors. For more information, their post can be found underneath the break.

If resources such as these are destroyed, we risk losing every digital article and file deleted under the Trump Administration's censorship. Without a method for restoring erased information, censorship proceeds unhindered. No body, no crime.

Collective action gets results. Do your part to protect public peace of mind.

the idea that Christians bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ can still, through some gymnastic of free will, end up in Hell is one of the evilest doctrines the devil ever peddled

The internet age is like the modern library of Alexandria, except for the library is already on fire, and people are constantly moving the knowledge around to avoid the fires, but each time, some of the content gets left behind.

No matter how hard we try to archive content, especially media, we are slowly losing the battle against the fires due to lack of knowledge that stuff is even burning.

Take Toye, his arm looking like a skinned deer after that Normandy jump. Shrapnel in Holland. Now wounded here in Bastogne. You couldn’t keep the guy down. And it wasn’t as if he had anything to prove; every man in Easy Company respected Joe Toye for his toughness. But, remembering back to that night at the Regent Palace when I found Joe on the roof of that atrium, maybe what drove him so hard physically was the need to make up for not being, in his own mind, as “eloquent” as some of the other guys, not that I ever thought eloquence was an Easy Company trait. And not that it was his fault. Hell, your dad sends you to the coal mines when you’re fifteen and you’re not going to be Shakespeare; it’s that simple. It’s ironic that Webster, the Harvard grad, could spin a sentence like nobody’s business; he was forever writing home, regaling relatives with story after story. But you ask me whom I’d want in a foxhole with me—or, for that matter, back home, sharing a beer and a burger with me at the Liberty Grill—and I’ll pick Joe Toye every damn time over a guy like Webster. You know why? Because he was always thinking beyond himself, that’s why.

I’m at this weird, extremist intersection regarding media preservation honestly.

It’s one that people very well may dislike me for having.

See, I believe that anything ad everything ever uploaded to the internet should be archived. From the shittiest of homestuck slash fics to the modern masterworks in excess of a million words. The most gruesome of images and the cutest of kitens. The most vile, hatefilled monologues and the most loving statements.

Anything and everything, preserved and archived and catalogued and translated every which way.

All our lows, all our highs, all our middlings too. Everything should remain, so we can look back and see our successes and failures.

We have, for once, something that can keep up with and accurately track the societal, cultural, religious and technological development of our species.

And we have done nothing with it. We toss countless volumes of information across our world as pictures and words, and all of it is just detritus. Nothing to be preserved. Nothing to be remembered.

I believe all of it is. I believe we should keep it all, to map humanity as a species.

The single pixel image you sent your groupchat, the darkest revenge fantasy ever posted to Ao3, the grossest of abuses documented by enactors and saviours and survivors, the most vile and the most beautiful things we have done, the greatest of technological breakthroughs.

All of it is equally worthy of preservation. All of it is unfathomably important one way or another.

And all of it, as things are, will be lost.

We have already lost so much of our history.

Why can’t we preserve it now we have the chance?
