I had the honour to be invited by @ZFAVClub to participate in an online live workshop exploring the mighty and wonderful CLI tool of the @internetarchive, in collaboration with @dweb 💕

If you are interested in data preservation and digital commons, please do watch it, as we did our best to shed some light on the most powerful yet little known features of this software.

The #InternetArchive is an invaluable resource for unlimited, public, open, and free storage for the whole Universe. It seems too good to be true, but it is!

We also touched upon the value of #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #decentralization, and #publicDomain.
