Secure, in Style 👞🗝️@hacks4pancakes Hopefully it’ll all be housed outside of the country, where it’s safer.
@SecureInStyle I keep pleading with people outside the US to store things and not just count solely on the Internet Archive to do this for them. They're amazing, but a huge target right now.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like many non-Americans understand how bad it has gotten in one month and that this is really happening, right now. I will buy all the hard drives I can myself when I move.
The digital book burning and minimization of trans/black/gay/women's history is very well underway here. And because the US hosts much of the internet architecture, it has been very effective. They are doing everything from blowing away digital backups, to wiping file repos, to painting over walls and murals, to forcing changes in school curriculum. Now. It is happening now.
[HANDMAIDEN] xan@hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle Doing my humble best to capture and archive the essential weather and climate data I know well, and make that process easy and repeatable for others. 🫡

If you are truly well-equipped with time, wherewithal, and space, and want to help make sense of this massive corpus, start by snagging the NWS storm reports.: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/ftp.jsp

@xan @hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle Yes! @SafeguardingResearch people are already saving data in the EU and Australia, and maybe other locations. This should be a global priority.
@claudinec @hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle @SafeguardingResearch While a lot of the data I've targeted is arguably US-specific, there is a big, neatly-organized corpus of global upper atmosphere soundings for the National Weather Service's entire period of record, available from the fine folks at the NCEI.

It needs organisation. I'd like to help. I could get a big external drive tomorrow and start seeding torrents from Germany if I had any idea what data I should be seeding.
@claudinec @xan @hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle @SafeguardingResearch
Presumably any attempt at public mobilisation is vulnerable to far right trolling. I made a possibly naive suggestion to minimise such trolling by keeping the set of people moderating datasets constrained to those who care about them the most.

I'm sure there is stuff I haven't thought of, and maybe something like this is already happening, but my searching didn't turn it up.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Maybe the approach should be that academics in safe jurisdictions register as volunteers to vet/moderate datasets in their areas of expertise. Academics under threat in the US anonymously share data access methods. The safe academics then share the access methods they think are valid for torrenters everywhere to volunteer storage & bandwidth for. By "academic" I mean domain expert in the field concerning the threatened data. Am I stating the obvious?
Safeguarding Research/Culture@eswag @xan @hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle yeah, we're working on it, like @claudinec said: chairs are being moved, but moderation is in place:

@eswag @claudinec @xan @hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle Our Infrastructure to share things to be seeded etc. is nearly finished.
Right now you could seed from https://academictorrents.com/browse.php

Jolyon Ansuz@claudinec @xan @hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle @SafeguardingResearch I would also encourage people to utilise on premise storage and remember these very broad statements. 1. Cloud storage and services occur on some else’s computer. 2. If you can’t reach out and touch it, you don’t own it. 3. When you unplug your Internet connection, no one should be able to access your data.
@jolyonansuz @xan @hacks4pancakes @SecureInStyle @SafeguardingResearch Definitely! My copies go to the mini PCs on my desk first, only then are they copied to other people's computers.
