I’ve been thinking for awhile that someone with the necessary spoons and skills should make a website called Chorus Of Cassandras. It could be a library of the amazing resources being created by people with post-infectious diseases like Long COVID and ME/CFS.

We are living through a pandemic of disablement due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. But the increasing public awareness of ME/CFS and Long COVID caused by the huge numbers of people now living with these diseases is also leading to a renaissance of Chronically Ill work.

There is so much amazing, useful work to collect and document and share: articles, books, blogs, research projects, fundraising projects, music, art collectives, film festivals, cookbooks, comics, photography….

This collection of work essentially fills the hole created by failures of official public health departments. It contains valuable information for a society that will continue to be systematically weakened by post-infectious diseases.

These creators are explaining what these diseases are and how they can be managed. They are also showing how to live in bodies that do not function as they used to. These people know how to create the informal systems necessary to stay alive in bodies that do not function within the old status quo.

I have learned so much from these creators about how to live my chronically ill life. They are our illders. We need their wisdom.

Someone with energy and IT skills should be archiving this wisdom. We need a Compendium of the Chorus of Cassandras. An exhaustive list of the work of the exhausted.

zeroes.cadatum (n=1) (@datum@zeroes.ca)all these cassandra moments and they're real cassandra moments, there is no productive way to leverage them, too much disbelief in those who could act categorically less bad than concrete outcomes occurring but mentally it's almost like having emesis, the body rebels and expels and it psychically burns, and maybe you feel less poisoned but kind of tired and out of breath just it would be nice if it stopped, due to there being nothing else to foresee which I realize is asking too much leading to this higher cassandra order moment in which more cassandra moments are foreseen, without gaining power over primary causes

Over the weekend I've been archiving some old HDDs and it just occurred to me that my `tar -cf - | ( cd path ; tar -xvf )` go-to (for speed, right?) is likely dated by now. Like, 25 years of dated.

Should I be rsyncing? Or something else?

Source volumes are a mix of HFS+, NTFS, ext3 & ext4 ... haven't got to the classic Mac SCSI disks yet!

When someone discards a wealth of knowledge, it's hard for those who understand the painstaking process of acquiring it to believe. We recently received a shipment of sacks sent all the way from Jaipur to Bengaluru. Dr. Soni Wadhwa, who has been collaborating with us since 2019 to preserve rare and inaccessible Sindhi language treasures, ensured this precious cargo reached us safely. #ServantsOfKnowledge #DigitalArchive

The National #NativeAmerican Boarding School #Healing Coalition has launched a #DigitalArchive they hope will #educate people about #IndianBoarding Schools in the #UnitedStates.

Similar to #Canada’s #ResidentialSchool system. The last residential school closed in 1996. (Grollier Hall, closed in 1997, wasn't state-run residential school.)

The U.S. Federal Indian boarding school system ran from 1819-1969 & included 408 federal schools.

so much of our common #CulturalHeritage is under threat. And too often, it depends on the initiative of courageous individuals to save #traditions and keep heritage alive...

Saving over 1000 #music tapes from #Afghanistan before the Taliban (and others) butchered a modern society, is no easy task, but Mohammed Hasan Zamri in Pakistan tried to do just that.

Which #DigitalArchive could support the efforts?

#UNESCO, #WorldCulture, #MusicalHeritage

Working on backing up all of my #reddit content. The API will only give you the latest 1000 items (posts/comments). In order to get the rest, you have to request a #GDPR pull of all your data, and...

"After a couple of days you will receive a private message from /u/RedditDataRequests"

After a few DAYS? Absolute garbage. If anyone else is looking to do the same, I'm using this project on #GitHub, which is working good enough for my purposes (it only archives your own comments, not the context of threads, but I always quote the context in my own comments (for exactly this reason (and others, like sneaky edits and deletions and defederation and whatnot; lessons learned from the old web 1.5 days of phpbb forums))):

github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-

Apparently it can read the GDPR backup and then query appropriately for the rest of the data and get it structured into a #sqlite database.
