Graham Sutherland / PolynomialAnna's Archive backed up Spotify. They got 99.9% of metadata, and 300TB of music representing 86 million tracks - original 160kbps OGG for tracks with popularity>0, and re-encoded 75kbps for popularity=0. absolutely wild project.
the metadata in particular is a hugely useful data source. MusicBrainz catalogues 5 million unique ISRCs (like ISBNs but for music releases), whereas this archive has a whopping 186 million.
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.
mahalozDo LLMs actually help hackers reverse engineer and understand the software they want to exploit?
We ran the first fine-grained human study of LLMs + reverse engineering.
To appear at NDSS 2026.

Jason ScottI have an opportunity for an incredible leap in digitization capability for $1000. If I can get $1000 by one or multiple people, a process that is planned for years will spike downward to a huge degree. Sorry to be mysterious. Email me if you have a sack of cash you want to do something very good.

wyattWANTED: Intel Architecture Labs 1990’s CD-ROM’s. They appear to have maybe been monthly. They contained a mirror of Intel’s ‘download.intel.com’ ftp server, specifically the /ial/ subdirectory which is not in the 2014 backup of the site on archive.org.
Lots and lots of white papers and design guideline documents in there. Especially looking for ones from the late 1990’s (1998-ish onward) if they exist. I’ve seen references in mailing lists to them that lead me to believe they do.
