I got nostalgic, so I ended up browsing pictures from #DWebCamp2023, and I found these wild shots of me and @timbl. Almost two years have passed, and I still cannot completely believe that I spent time chatting with the creator of the #WorldWideWeb and that he autographed my thesis!

Unbelievable things happen at #DWebCamp.

(Thanks to @mai for the stolen shot 🌻)

Fun fact: @mark kindly came and picked me up at the airport and he drove me and TBL to DWeb Camp. The first thing they asked me about while getting to the car was this patch I had, simulating the hammer and sickle communist symbol, but actually representing a sickle popping open an Aperol Spritz. So there was me, super jet-lagged and hungover (because I had my last exam of my bachelor the day before) trying to explain what that was to the creator of #HTML and the director of the #WaybackMachine. It was super embarrassing but it is a great story to tell.

Yes, more eyes looking the better, imo

So, #archiveorg might get "redacted" ⁉️

#WaybackMachine Saves Thousands of Federal Webpages Amid Purge of Government Data Under #Trump

possible "mass erasure of public information, the #InternetArchive is racing to save copies of those deleted resources, #USConstitution was scrubbed from the #WhiteHouse website

Excellent discussion with Mark Graham of the Internet Archive and its work to digitize information, documents, media, make them publicly available. Current issues in Administration deleting US government documents and web pages. The Archive struggles to save data, and makes loading access available. I think they and other archivists and librarians ought to be acknowledged by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

When you want to #archive #websites for sharing or for later reference, better use the #WaybackMachine or #GhostArchive:

web.archive.org/
ghostarchive.org/

I've seen many use archive.today / archive.is / archive.ph, but they're using #Google #captchas to block access. This not only poses a risk of suveillance: several times this month, I was not permitted to access the referenced page, but sent through infinite loops of captchas. The problem becomes even more apparent when using a #VPN.
