Seriously, I don't have the geek-level of @TechTangents ...
But #archiving #LaserDisc is a honorable goal!
Zelda 🎀One of my biggest #retrogaming issues is re-releases seldom include the manual. The actual, printed, full-color manual with art, maps, diagrams.
Players were expected to read the manual before playing from at least the NES era to PS2 era, and a lot of description/story is simply not in the game as a result. Looking up a strategy guide is not the same.
Sony got this right with #PS1 games on #PSP but I haven't ever seen it done again.

N-gated Hacker News🎨🤖 Oh, look! Another pretentious tech article trying to make "AI Glaze" sound like the holy grail of art #preservation. Spoiler: It's just another tool for artists to freak out about while AI continues to munch on their precious creations. 🤯💼

ℒӱḏɩę 💾☮∞🎶♲☀🔋HOT HOT HOT I've been adding some hot torrents to the solar powered crowd-funded public data server. The regime has been trying to cover up Epstein and CECOT, but they can't win against the data hoarding community. This media is now safely in the server and being seeded:

Point me to anything else that needs preservation!!
DesertFOXI just noticed and cleaned up some overlooked garbage data from multiple "Monkey Island EGA" diskettes I had uploaded to the Internet Archive over a year ago. I apologize for messing this up... all the affected disks were just re-uploaded.

Have fun.. and - again: Merry Christmas!

Backing up Spotify
We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.
Le site de KorbenAnna's Archive vient de sauvegarder la totalité de Spotify

🎶 Oh, joy! Anna's #Archive just dumped a 300TB #Spotify piñata of #metadata onto the internet, because, you know, backing up the world's largest #music service is a priority for... um... #shadow library enthusiasts? 📚 It's reassuring to know that now anyone with a spare #data center can "preserve" that Get Lucky remix you forgot you even had. 🤦♂️
