As of this writing, it is all still deriving and getting into the system, but 2 Player Productions has chosen to put 4k versions of the Double Fine PsychOdyssey (and 1080p version) on Internet Archive. Also, archival versions of their previous documentary AND the bonus footage AND deleted scenes of the previous documentary.

@textfiles Even "Google Cemetery" (on the linked page) looks like it's dead -- hasn't been updated in over 3 years.

I’m now left wondering what I should do with my never-opened Stadia controller and Chromecast Google sent me for being a drive subscriber…

So, I have been turning my attention to the idea of buffering 24 hour grabs of all radio spectrum, using Web SDR. I'm just reaching out in case people are sitting on sets of these from times past. DM or jason@textfiles.com. Am I really to the point of archiving radiation? Yep. The big concern is disk space. Under current approaches, a full spectrum grab of 24 hours of signal in one geographical location is ten terabyes! But one day a year might be worth it. For history.

If people don't know, we already grab 11,000 hours of radio a day worldwide, but that's not the same as radio spectrum.

Seven years ago, a fellow named "MIDI_MAN" compiled 130,000 unique MIDI files by browsing a ton of sites, placing them into directories, and generally assembling years of MIDI music. Now that collection (1gb compressed, 3.5gb uncompressed, 130,000 files for real!) is at the Internet Archive at this URL:

MIDI, General MIDI and MIDI FILES are three different concepts that most people usually confuse for each other. This is a collection of MIDI files, probably using the General MIDI instrument set definition, but MIDI itself is not involved when someone plays one of these files on their computer. A bit confusing, I know...

Hey there, Admin of the Internet Archive Mastodon here. I've seen some people speculate/rumor that the Archive's mastodon instance is set up to be an involuntary vacuum spot for all toots passing back into the Wayback, and it is NOT that. Any archiving of toots would be some other project (and outside my knowledge) but the Internet Archive Mastodon is just another instance, doing the mastodon thing. Communicate with us at will.

@textfiles yo, you all do such big work in keeping the most powerful thing humans have - information - free and accessible to all. Thank you so much!

There is a moment, a joyous moment, between when the staff stands ready, feet shuffle quietly, a hush and a murmur runs in the space before the giant doors creak open and the day's endeavors begin. And this is that moment. Welcome to Mastodon, Internet Archive.

@textfiles Congratulations. Have you considered adding the handle of your general announcement account on this server to your Twitter profile? It would help people find you. 12

Obviously, for most, the Youtube channel where they've released the 32 (!!) part documentary will suffice and do the job, but the Internet Archive is there to ensure it lasts longer beyond that, AND is downloadable for people at 4k for the future.
