buheratorI was foolish enough to link to a Twitter thread in an old slide deck. It's not on IA. <br><br>Are there any alternatives where I can look up the tweet?<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://infosec.place/tag/bitrot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bitrot</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://infosec.place/tag/digitalpreservation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalpreservation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://infosec.place/tag/archiving" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archiving</a>
Simon<p>One of the few bonuses of working in a university is that you get full access to the library. I wanted to read an obscure article from an obscure journal printed in 1985. No electronic copy exists online. I requested it on the uni library website and someone went down to the archive, found the article, scanned it and emailed it to me a couple of hours later. Now I've got a taste for it. I'll be sending them off to scan all manner of old articles <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libraries</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Librarians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Librarians</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/archive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archive</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a></p>

Preston Maness ☭<p>I've mirrored a relatively simple website (redsails.org; it's mostly text, some images) for posterity via <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/wget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wget</span></a>. However, I also wanted to grab snapshots of any outlinks (of which there are many, as citations/references). By default, I couldn't figure out a configuration where wget would do that out of the box, without endlessly, recursively spidering the whole internet. I ended up making a kind-of poor man's <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/ArchiveBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchiveBox</span></a> instead:</p><p>for i in $(cat others.txt) ; do dirname=$(echo "$i" | sha256sum | cut -d' ' -f 1) ; mkdir -p $dirname ; wget --span-hosts --page-requisites --convert-links --backup-converted --adjust-extension --tries=5 --warc-file="$dirname/$dirname" --execute robots=off --wait 1 --waitretry 5 --timeout 60 -o "$dirname/wget-$dirname.log" --directory-prefix="$dirname/" $i ; done</p><p>Basically, there's a list of bookmarks^W URLs in others.txt that I grabbed from the initial mirror of the website with some <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/grep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grep</span></a> foo. I want to do as good of a mirror/snapshot of each specific URL as I can, without spidering/mirroring endlessly all over. So, I hash the URL, and kick off a specific wget job for it that will span hosts, but only for the purposes of making the specific URL as usable locally/offline as possible. I know from experience that this isn't perfect. But... it'll be good enough for my purposes. I'm also stashing a WARC file. Probably a bit overkill, but I figure it might be nice to have.</p><p><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/RedSails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedSails</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/archive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archive</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/archival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archival</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/warc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warc</span></a></p>

dasgrueneblatt<p>The ArchiveTeam Warrior has been running intermittently on my laptop for ten days now. </p><p>It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.</p><p>Everything's fine. It only runs while I use the laptop. I don't notice it. When the laptop goes into standby and wakes up again that doesn't seem to have any adverse effects. </p><p>I've downloaded and uploaded gigabytes so far. The top of the leader board for this project is half a petabyte.</p><p>Now I'm considering a installation where it could run around the clock.

Tirrimas :us_distress:<p>I print out an article or two a day about what's going on and tucking them away in a box. Also printing out Wikipedia's timeline of this presidency. The lovely thing about the Wikipedia article is the sheer amount of outside references. We'll see how many of those disappear.</p><p>What would be great is if there was a spider tool that would, when fed a Wikipedia url, would chase those reference links and copy their articles -whole - into a database, preserving the originals along with the summary. </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a><br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Pondering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pondering</span></a><br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archiving</span></a></p>
