@jonny Sounds useful for a potential #WikimediaCommons image dump (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T391020) but would it be too much to have over 100M related torrents (one per file)? Would every individual info_hash be in the parent torrent or how does one add all torrents?

En esta acción hay 4 jóvenes del MOC Sevilla. Una de ellas nos contaba que la acción de preparó con mucho detalle. Se reunieron meses antes con abogados cercanos al MOC, estudiaron las posibles respuestas de los militares, las consecuencias legales, y sabían perfectamente lo que podían y no hacer. No tenían miedo.
Además hicieron un entrenamiento físico para saber cómo caer desde la valla, saltando desde un árbol de la misma altura.

niche question time! i'm trying to figure out what PREMIS event type would express "destroyed original carrier." If you use PREMIS and record this info, what value do you use? https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/preservation/eventType.html #preservation #digipres

Okay, as best as I can tell, if I want to give my colleagues a good alternative to drag-n-drop that preserves timestamps, I should recommend
```
robocopy \path\source \path\destination /e /dcopy:t /eta /z
```
Windows #digipres people, does that look right?

The Xiph.Org Foundation has for many years hosted a collection of #lossless audio and video test clips to support the compression research community.
Unfortunately, that server may be going away soon. I'm looking at various options to keep the data online, but I wondered if it would be appropriate to upload a copy to @internetarchive The current collection is around 20 TB.
If so, what would be a good format? For clips originating in yuv, ffv1 or lossless vp9 compression is probably a good choice. (Uncompressed is usually best for benchmarking, but people can extract on their own.) Downloading multi-GB files is easier than it used to be. However, the highest quality for some clips are directories of png, tiff, or exr files. Not sure what to do with those. Tar them up? Will archive.org fall over if I upload 20,000 files as part of the same object?

Hi fedi, another question re #SafeguardingResearch:
We got a couple of #Tableau data/visualizations that we need to archive.
But: the download is limited to Image, PDF or PowerPoint.
https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/dutytoserve/vizzes
Update: Currently looking into automating the step 'downloading PDF, with all sheets of the workbook'.
Ideas on how to accomplish this?
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?

social.coopEd Summers (@edsu@social.coop)@anj@digipres.club @lavaeolus@fedihum.org @ww@tldr.nettime.org the dashboard API calls are going to URLs like:
https://awsgov-api.imls.gov/api/column/0/2024/null/county?_=1742650522892
Which seem to return no results. It's interesting that even though the dashboard doesn't seem to work in the browser you can find lots of the JSON responses in the Wayback Machine which are there due to some SavePageNow & GPO Archive-It crawling?
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://awsgov-api.imls.gov/api/*
In fact some of the links still seem to work, which suggests that the dashboard interface is broken (intentionally or by accident?)
I'm working on enabling the #DigiPres parts of our org by making some of the #COPTR Tool Grid apps available securely in a managed #Windows environment - first cab off the rank is a #Java app with bundled #JRE, which won't play well with our env 
does anyone have experience using #maven & #jpackage as part of a build pipeline to create OS-native installers? my short-term target is a Windows MSI, but once that's in place the same pipeline should be able to spit out native installers for macOS (which we also use) & Linux (which we don't - yet 
)
I'm at the point where I'm about to clone the repo & start tinkering 
but would much rather re-use something already built than figure it out from docs & example code...

A #digipres project I really don't have the skill for (nor the time!) but wish someone could do: improving bagger.
It's like 90% of the way towards being a great GUI application, except that
1. It doesn't retain timestamps when copying files
2. The "save bag" option always generates MD5 manifests, no matter what algorithm was previously used
3. The file selection dialogs are very cumbersome
Here's an idle #digipres question: do we know the origins of the 3-2-1 rule? As in, where and when it was first put forward?
I bring it up often in grad school writing, where I'm supposed to cite it, and I always wonder about its ultimate source
