@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.

@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.
