This is why @fabio made the Gaza Verified Archive (e.g., see https://gaza.onl/attachments) that archives everything posted by our #GazaVerified families.

And you can run a mirror to make it even more resilient and ensure that their testimonies are not lost to history: https://git.platypush.tech/blacklight/gaza-archive

It also has an API: https://gaza.onl/swagger/

"Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision was formed by the amalgamation of the New Zealand Film Archive Ngā Kaitiaki O Ngā Taonga Whitiāhua, Sound Archives Ngā Taonga Kōrero, and the Television New Zealand Archive between 2012 and 2014."

#HatTip to the audio-visual archivists, helping to defend us all from the Ministry of Truth and the memory hole, one recording at a time : )

Also see Look Over There! – which you can easily deploy yourself on a tiny VPS – it’s how I’m redirecting our old sites to archive.org (https://look-over-there.small-web.org/)

So now #Google#YouTube is pulling out all the stops to keep #ytdlp from working -__-

"Some tv client https formats have been skipped as they are DRM protected. Your account may have an experiment that applies DRM to all videos on the tv client. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563 for more details."

"Some web client https formats have been skipped as they are missing a url. YouTube is forcing SABR streaming for this client. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12482 for more detail"

Some hero is out there on GitHub working on an SABR implementation and even has a PR ready, but FFS. This is getting to the point where I'd rather just blackhole YouTube entirely and wait for the next big thing, to hell with whatever I might miss out on.

I would also like to do this, but I don't know if I can stomach the manual process he describes. Most likely I'd need to build out some tools. And just from archiving my old content on other platforms I can relate to his pain about the issues encountered when trying to archive other people's webpages or links like poor redirects, defunct services.

#Archiving#Web

So here’s a really useful tip if you’re using archive.org to look up a site and it redirects to some other site because that’s what they saw at a later crawl…

Prefix your search (in the URL bar) with:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/

So, for example, if you search for https://www.blendwebmix.com/ on archive.org, you’ll get a redirect to a different site.

But if you enter the following URL in your browser:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.blendwebmix.com/

You’ll get the calendar view with all the crawls of the URL.

Thanks to iarchivist for the tip (https://archive.org/post/1012493/wayback-how-to-deal-with-redirects).

(I’m going through and fixing all the links in a decade of talks for Laura and myself on the Kitten version of the Small Technology Foundation site and most of the conference sites are either gone or don’t have archives so the Internet Archive is coming through again bigtime.)

#InternetArchive #waybackMachine #archiving #redirects #tip

I’m going through our events page on the Small Technology Foundation web site¹ and porting the entries there to the new version of our web site that I’m building in Kitten² and it’s depressing how many event sites have just disappeared.

Thank goodness for archive.org.

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) https://social.coop/@edsu/114206452552797815]

We are mostly using https://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?

Love this! A 22-page DIY web archiving zine that "shows you why everyone should participate in preserving the things on the web they care about, and how anyone can do so (no special expertise required!)".
