The tale of Rumpelstilzchen (rumpelstiltskin) has lost any and all meaning in our world. Ten seconds after Rumpelstilzchen tells the queen he won’t take her firstborn if she guesses his name correctly she would just call Mark Zuckerberg and would not only receive the name but also birth certificate, search history, preferences in bed, bank account details and every single password he ever used. And not only wouldn’t she find that creepy at all but she would probably congratulate Zuckerberg on his business model which ‘benefits the whole kingdom’.

never thought i'd say this but i gotta use reddit more often. incredibly resourceful and helpful ppl over there

is anyone here good with computers?

hey guys, so ever since jude died i've been trying to sorting thru his socials and stuff, and ive been trying to like. see if i can archive some of his stuff, especially pictures and videos of him

ive been trying to do this on tumblr, but bc his privacy settings are set to 'hide from ppl without an account' i cannot use an original post finder tool and i can't even access his /archive page, and trying to scroll thru his blog manually is almost impossible bc eventually the site reloads and sends me back to the beginning, and changing the page number in the url manually does nothing, so i cant even find my place again

ive been looking into those webpage archiver tools, (like tumblthree i think?) but i don't understand enough about computers to know how to run most of them im finding in places like github, and even if i did i only have access to a chromebook, so im unable to download a program, especially one that runs on windows or linux

anyway, im basically wondering if there's anyone who knows about computers who might be able to give me any sort of advice or point me in the direction of a decent archiving site or chrome addon that doesnt require any special apps and might be able to actually access jude's blog, and maybe won't give me 8 billion viruses???

As we learn about in The Enemies of Books by William Blades (which is in Gutenberg's public domain book collection because it was published in 1888), there are many ways that books can be lost to history, some of which are water, fire, and bans. The loss of destroyed libraries such as that of Alexandria are losses to all the world forever. We historians and archivists are grateful to discover any surviving copies that people secretly kept, and have no complaint if the means for that was piracy at the time, as likely it must be when a book has become illegal.

Here are some resources for the type of ebook archival projects described above:

Calibre is the free software mentioned above for organizing your collection of ebooks. Calibre's web site has a forum where you can ask questions.

Instructions for how to use a third-party plugin for Calibre to remove Digital Rights Management (DRM) from an ebook so that you can keep your own copy of it and archive it how you want.

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship. Books and media on certain topics could soon become illegal in the US. This is a guide on how to save, archive, and share those books.

The DataHoarders subreddit (and the new spin-off Dreamwidth community) are for asking questions of very experienced digital archivists. They can help with troubleshooting or figuring out how to do your archival projects.

"you should use your libby for ebooks" "you shouldn't pirate your ebooks" BITCH you can do both.

Simply borrow the ebook from libby, download it as a .ascm (drm epub thing) on your computer, then run the .ascm file through a drm remover of your choice (third-party plugins in Calibre is what to do). you can then keep the drm-free .epub and return the libby loan. Boom.

Win/win/win.

You get to keep the ebook (ALSO libby usually has high-quality files. so it's better than piracy).

You're borrowing the book from the library. They get their numbers up, you're supporting the author and your library.

You're not holding up the line.

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

Converted and downloaded a bunch of YouTube videos on at-risk topics, such as gender studies, Black history (just in the US and Europe so far), LGBT history (same regions), interviews with Holocaust survivors, as well as audio and music videos by queer artists.
