The #livestream doesn’t stop when we're off for a holiday or weekend.

When the microfiche scanning team powers down overnight & on weekends, the feed keeps on keeping on, shifting to silent films, home movies & other gems from the #InternetArchive.

We’re celebrating 1 trillion pages saved on the #WaybackMachine!
Our month of festivities kicked off with the Del Sol Quartet's THE VAST BLUE WE , music inspired by our shared digital memory.

When I look at the weekly statistics on my Internet Archive uploads, there seems to be a steady interest in the Amiga Workbench 3.1 disks, as well as in classic MS-DOS and Windows floppies. People also still like to play 80s adventure games like "Leisure Suit Larry", "Zak McKracken" or "Maniac Mansion". The Macintosh fans also love their SimCity 2000!

To celebrate this historical milestone, together with @brewsterkahle we officially added the Internet Archive Europe on OpenStreetMap

A new era begins!

Thanks @yawnbox for the video

It's come to my attention that Dropbox is now checking IDs at the door, and we'll have none of that.

Tom Lehrer (1928–2025) made musical satire sing…and sting. His songs were funny, outrageous, & often uncomfortably true.

He died recently at 97. Years earlier, he disclaimed copyright to all his lyrics and compositions; a gesture as radical as his songs.

We remember his life, his legacy, & what it means for the #digitalcommons
