 I've been thinking about an association to keep our own archives online. At one point I had taken some model articles of association and written them up for a podcast of mine. At the time, this didn't go anywhere. But for this archiving association, I think the association comes first, the technicalities come later. I'm envisioning discussions to happen via email. Or via encrypted email, even! 🤯 (Is this the moment for Delta Chat to shine?) 4 comments
So given the size of our archives, what are the technical requirements for members of the Dead Archivist Society? I’ve wrote some stuff up, essentially arguing that size limits and learning about resampling media files will be important because storage is in fact not all that cheap. And that sort of limits the size of the society. A few people are interested the Dead Archivist Society I’m trying to start. I got some feedback on the articles of association and I’m trying to assemble it all into a new page so that I don’t forget any input. From my point of view, it’s astonishing how much text we will have to write in order to handle non-local membership. Authentication and identity are hard if you don’t meet face to face.  |

When I create a static copy of my site, it takes 2.9G.
If I zip it up, it takes 2.8G because pictures and videos do not compress well. 😭
