Have you ever lost digital content or a website? After a major project went offline, filmmaker Brandon Tauszik realized the need to preserve his work from link rot. So StarlingLab teamed up with us and SuttyWeb to create a future-proof, portable version of his portfolio. The websites were recreated in a way to be cloned and hosted in multiple places. We published copies on IPFS and Hypercore as portable code, making them resilient to link rot! Read more here: https://starlinglab.org/case-studies-link-rot/

Id like to put my lab servers to work archiving US federal data thats likely to get pulled - climate and biomed data seems mostly likely. The most obvious strategy to me seems like setting up mirror torrents on academictorrents. Anyone compiling a list of at-risk data yet?

It’s unspeakable how many cryptic little icons have invaded new apps.

- little downward caret
- ellipsis
- VERTICAL ellipsis
- plus sign
- click your own profile pic to access everything important
- gear
- gear, but it does only 1 thing, which is never useful
- hamburger
- hamburger but only 5 items inside, & only 1 is useful
- ℹ️

The future is me with a big text file, 1 heading per app, saying what sequences to click for each workflow. It becomes outdated every 36 hours.
