@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

Your link looks to be behind an allowlist, which I can understand.

Is there anywhere where data holders can register at-risk datasets openly & volunteers can download and seed torrents or similar?

I was about to say, "something like academictorrents", but I see it's down RN.

Presumably the restriction is due to the problem of validating requests for data extraction?
