Something big got dropped into my inbox today, it is great news! 🥳
(Can't share much right now.)

But we need *your* help with:
What is the importance of the endangered data for Germany and for the international community (“what would happen if the data were no longer available?”)

We would love to receive as many testimonials as possible, from as many perspectives as possible, to our inbox: contact@safeguar.de | tickets.safeguar.de/submit

I can't get these images of fascists trying to erase our history and present, and we shouldn't let the normies forget. Maybe a "Is this what you voted for?" collage is in order.

Don't let them erase Emily Perez's memory.

Many thanks to @lavaeolus and everyone else #SafeGuardingResearch from the #WhiteHouseWash for making sure that Emily Perez's story lives on.

Thanks to @BrianJopek for bringing her inspiring life to my attention.

This is also a good time to remind you that you can have your own copy of #Wikipedia easily with #Kiwix & view the downloaded ZIM file.

'More than brick and mortar:" DC begins removing "Black Lives Matter' plaza near the White House 2of 20 Tears roll down the face of Starlette Thomas of Bowie, Md., as she holds a chunk of pavement from the Black Lives Matter mural, Monday, March 10, 2025, as the mural begins to be demolished in Washington. "I needed to be here to bear witness," says Thomas, who was present at the 2020 George Floyd protests. "For me the Black Lives Matter sign etched in stone was a declaration of somebodyness and to watch it be undone in this way was very hurtful. To walk away with a piece of that, it means it's not gone. It's more than brick and mortar." (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

@lavaeolus For me personally, preserving a copy of the underlying dataset is priority number 1, because at least you have half a chance of reconstructing something from that. Then the source code of the site, which can either be used directly or at least give insight into the logic. The latter is definitely one for @swheritage

Neither of those captures the lived experience of using a web application though, which can be important in some instances.

Question re #SafeguardingResearch
We encounter 'web applications' that our current method of archiving don't preserve.

Things like [we need a better example, this one is already gone (but the data preserved) social.coop/@edsu/114206452552]

We are mostly using github.com/openzim/zimit to create WARC files and combining them into a single ZIM.
(This uses the browsertrix crawler)

Any ideas on how to archive not just the content, but also the functionality of such applications?
#DigiPres #Web #Archiving

social.coopEd Summers (@edsu@social.coop)@anj@digipres.club @lavaeolus@fedihum.org @ww@tldr.nettime.org the dashboard API calls are going to URLs like: https://awsgov-api.imls.gov/api/column/0/2024/null/county?_=1742650522892 Which seem to return no results. It's interesting that even though the dashboard doesn't seem to work in the browser you can find lots of the JSON responses in the Wayback Machine which are there due to some SavePageNow & GPO Archive-It crawling? https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://awsgov-api.imls.gov/api/* In fact some of the links still seem to work, which suggests that the dashboard interface is broken (intentionally or by accident?)

For @SafeguardingResearch we're looking for some imagery to be used on our landing page (nearly finished).

Feel free to post/link to images you associate with #SafeguardingResearch & our mission:
safeguarding-research.discours

Especially useful:
pretty flat and uniform in color, dark and balanced with low contrast
