Thorsted<p>Ok <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/avpres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>avpres</span></a> question. We recently digitized an old umatic tape with a documentary on it. Only one audio stream in stereo with the left side being English and right side being Vietnamese. Currently the MKV only has English for the audio stream. Without splitting the audio stream into two, what is the best way to manage the technical metadata? <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digipres</span></a></p>
Kristina Mason<p>David Rosenthal has written up a fantastic blog post from a talk he did on the current state of archival storage - the tech, the pros, the cons, and more. I also like that he points out that archival storage is NOT the same as a data backup, because it might be easy to conflate the two. The post is well worth a read. <br>(Thank you to a few people who have shared this around!) </p><p><a href="https://blog.dshr.org/2025/03/archival-storage.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.dshr.org/2025/03/archival</span><span class="invisible">-storage.html</span></a><br><a href="https://ausglam.space/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archives</span></a> <a href="https://ausglam.space/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digipres</span></a></p>

Tim Sherratt<p>This afternoon the failure notices have been rolling in for a series of GitHub actions that I've set up to automatically capture data about Trove. As well as powering things like the Newspaper Data Dashboard, these harvests were part of my attempt to capture the development of online GLAM collections so that future researchers would be able to examine their impact.

vga256<p>digital preservation and archivist friends: it came to my attention recently that mobygames was bought by some trashy atari holding corporation a few years ago. all of the scans and item entries that many of us slaved over for the past 25 years were sold off. anyone submitting mobygames entries/updates are effectively working for free now.</p><p>i can't say i'm unhappy to see it going downhill with the new owners. updates to entries went from taking 1 day for approval from moderators, to 4-6 months.</p><p>it also had a frustrating limitation of declaring any software outside of its very traditional definition of game as out-of-scope.</p><p>that being said, it's a critical service for those researching and writing about games.</p><p>i'd like to know if there are any publicly-owned database initiatives in development to replace and/or subsume mobygames.</p><p>and if not, let's build one.</p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/mobygames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobygames</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digipres</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/gamePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamePreservation</span></a></p>

Over the last week, I've spent some time digging in to "Nosh Kosh," the Jewish Pac-Man clone for the Apple II that's all about kashrut — Jewish dietary law.

Along the way, I've run into bugs, mapped out level designs, and calculated checksums to figure out how many versions there are.
