what about that bitcoiner who ran a pet sanctuary in Second Life and who wanted to buy an old theater to show Disney cartoons "after getting a Creative Commons license"

surely he has some thoughts on this topic

check out this loving album cover. one of the soundtrack songs is being removed because of a copyright issue so it'd be worth checking out soon

what's the album? is it the brigador ost or something else, because I'm not finding it

check out the "black hole travel agency" books, they were vaguely cyberpunk in the way they were vaguely either parodying-or-not many other SF subgenres

One of the specialty professions within archiving is palaeography - people who can pick apart ancient languages and ancient handwriting while also interpreting the (often mystefying) structure and meaning of old documents. In the future i like to imagibe you're gonna get digital palaeographers who maintain racks of centuries old hardware and are fluent in loving Ruby or Python and can piece ancient code back together from fragments.

This is already happening, the Internet Archive is the hub of a lot of it as are museums like the Living Computer Museum + Labs and the Computer History Museum.

Their overall strategy for preservation is to keep data live while replicating it to many sites and upgrading hardware basically nonstop; I want to say that their price tag to endow 1TB of live storage indefinitely is on the order of US$1K.

They're also working hard to preserve software. For example, they had a lot to do with the emscripten JavaScript port of MAME to run emulators directly in the browser, so old systems' software can be experienced without the need for hardware.

They've even been involved in some of the organized efforts to produce "clean" cracks of old copy protection schemes, since those get in the way of preservation. (See the great work 4AM has been doing breaking Apple II copy protection schemes, for both games and educational software.)

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that they're also involved with the development of magnetic flux transition reading tools like KryoFlux and the new AppleSauce, since they make it possible to separate archiving from cracking (which lets the copy protection itself be preserved as it's an important artifact too, of course).

hmm. this is kinda neat. can i endow a block of storage and put my name on it? and do i get to pick what gets archived?

"this is the Sagebrush Collection, a thousand gigabytes of vaporwave GIFs and pictures of pretty girls with motorcycles"

I'm pretty sure you can do all three together right now by basically donating them an archive along with the money to store it indefinitely, so you could do The Sagebrush Collection

I don't know whether you can endow storage and put your name on it though, like "this random classic Mac manual scan is provided courtesy The Eschaton Fund, visit eschaton.fund to learn more" but that might be an interesting idea for them to increase donations

when i did the audiobook of Hyperion, they had several narrators to do each of the substories and there was one where the character encounters another major character, who is a woman he becomes involved with sexually, and the narrator did both of their voices except he did her voice in a bad falsetto, and then did both of their voices when they were doing sex and it was one of the most ridiculous things i have ever heard

the sex in Hyperion was epically bad to begin with, this made it hilarious cringey fun when my wife & I listened

also hopefully such drives can be terraria that only need energy from the outside, rather than be open and require periodic watering and facing risk of algal and fungal infections

If the F-35 is literally just a missile bus why not just do it from a pod installed in the bomb bay of a B-52 or an AWACS or something? You could have better electronics and a whole lot more missiles that way?

I've had two of these and the lovely, cheap plastic armature that supports the unit on your headset snapped on both of them within a few months of very delicate usage. You can order replacements, but they're so ridiculously fragile that it's only a matter of time until they fall apart. Eventually I couldn't be bothered with the hassle anymore and consigned it to a crate in a closet and went back to mouselook.

just make a nice robust armature out of some metal
