I don't think there's info about this one on the wiki yet: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Roblox

Looks like it will be done pretty quickly, as it was set to be the default project for warriors.

Archive Team has just begun the distributed archiving of the Japanese SS Blog, a blog hosting service, which is set to be discontinued on March 31, 2025.

And you can help! There isn't much time left, so as many people running the warrior as possible is needed.

Resources:

• The wiki page of the project (not much info)
• The tracker (at the top of the page) has the simplest info on how you can help out
• The github page offers a docker-based alternative for advanced users, and more info on best practices for this sort of archiving

Why help out?

The web is disappearing all the time, and often a lot of previously easily accessible information is lost to time. These japanese blogs may not be very important to you, but they certainly are to a lot of people, and nobody knows what sort of information is found only here, until they need it.

As of now I only have one off-site server at work.

@datahoarder test post from Mastodon!

I will note that watching my news feed from here shows me now more than ever we need to hoard data we find important!

Really enjoying these short blog posts I find

Looking for your personal lists of Github repositories, which might be deleted from Github at some point, for whatever reason. For example, the maintainer might delete his account from Github or archive all his repositories.

A famous example of an open source project, which had trouble to continue thriving, is youtube-dl.

Which projects' repositories do you think are worth backing up?

After learning this I printed off my PhD notes, prelims, and current dissertation.

I think datahoarding isn’t just keeping digital materials but taking care of what we have!

Found on HN

I went on Immich and all of my photos were gone. Luckily it was just a Redis issue because of a sudden shut down. Regardless I backed everything up to another server.

No point it hoarding what’s important if you can’t keep it safe

For me I seed everything I torrent, prefer public trackers when possible for the average user, try to upload to archive.org, and sometimes use soulseek.

Datahoarding is appealing to me because I want to give others access to what matters most to me. I therefore primarily hoard movies, tv shows, and other media torrents on my main server.

I set up an instance of the ArchiveTeam Warrior on my home server with Docker in under 10 minutes. Feels like I'm doing my part to combat removal of information from the internet.
