Rethinking Digital Storage for Community-Based Archives
Over the last few decades, the standard procedure for storing and backing up data has been ‘put it in the cloud.’ Many of us use cloud…

Archivist - Storage That Can't Be Stopped
Archivist is a decentralized durable storage network. Data is encrypted, erasure-coded, and dispersed across independent operators. Verified by zero-knowledge proofs. Sovereign storage that survives censorship, provider failure, and time.

The Vault: a (possible) answer to the "Fully-Private Community Data" question
Oh yeah, I should clarify that I totally expect a community DID to have a repo and in some cases, it makes sense for that repo to publish community-owned data. Just as a baseline, I think it’s good for most social activity to happen in a repo without needing to interact with the community’s repo. Even in the cases where a community DID wants to “pull in” some user content, I think it’s better for it to do it non-interactively with the user. For instance, publishing its side of things after syn...

We saw the www.lostlandscapes.org show which was put on to benefit the Internet Archive which suffered from a fire recently. The show featured footage of SF from the 1920s to 1980s. The soundtrack is the crowd, as they yell out recognized locations and ask questions, etc. The Internet Archive (which has the Wayback Machine) is located in a former church. The grand hall is where the show was held, and you can see that the church pews are still in tact. In the alcoves at the back are two server racks which store the master copy of the archives. On the edges are little statues. Those are representations of people who dedicated many hours volunteering for the archive. The one I happened to photograph is Aaron Swartz.

The new hierarchical namespace capabilities bring file system optimizations to Cloud Storage buckets.

Back into blogging and just published something I've been thinking about for a while now – making archival content more resilient and discoverable on atproto. Oral history, interactive transcripts, content addressing, and keeping important stories from being quietly erased. maboa.it/resilient-archives-on-the-at-…
Keeping Archives Alive: Resilience and Discovery on ATProto
maboa.itFor me personally there is a journey here - I was a firm believer in archive everything. This peaked in a period where I was very interested in IPFS, CIDs, CAS, etc. Now, the next step. Post-Archive(-Everything). Through a series of conversations I came to the conclusion that forgetting is probably more powerful than remembering. The links in this collections play a similar note, or are related to my understanding of this.
