Like it or not, years of insight, experience and expertise live in Reddit threads. But accessing some of them just got harder.

RIP to everything lost on Geocities.

It will never be possible to preserve all information forever, nor do we need to, but we could certainly do better than the usual thus far.

I was glad to be a contributor to the Geocities archival effort.

ArchiveTeam have software called "Warrior" that you can run to help with their archival efforts. I'm running it on a few spare VPSes. It's a Python app and they provide both a VM and a Docker container (you can use either). Their current list of projects is here: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Projects#Current_projects. You can pick which ones you want to help with.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
