Love this! A 22-page DIY web archiving zine that "shows you why everyone should participate in preserving the things on the web they care about, and how anyone can do so (no special expertise required!)".

An #ITU study https://www.itu.int/itu-d/reports/statistics/2024/11/10/ff24-internet-traffic/ reports that we transferred over 7 zettabytes of #Internet traffic in 2024. However, the authors do not describe what all those data actually were.

Therefore, I have performed extensive research to classify every byte, and I can now share this summary of the purposes of all the year's traffic.

Happy New Year!

Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

Because this is the talk of the #internet again: you don't preserve digital media by stuffing the One True Version in an #archive. Make countless copies and scatter them to the wind. Make each a different format. You don't know which of them will still be readable next decade, so *don't try to guess*.

That goes for analog media too. The Library of Alexandria contained copies. Many classic paintings only survived as copies.

Copying is how life itself beats death. Embrace it.

New regulations set out circumstances in which the Secretary of State can intervene in the running of internet domain registries for UK-related domains

This somewhat lengthy blogpost about The Internet Domain Registry (Prescribed Practices and Prescribed Requirements) Regulations 2024 is probably of most interest to people running domain registries, and domain registrars, for .uk, .scot, .wales., .cymru, and .london.

To be honest, until yesterday, I had no idea that the Secretary of State had these kind of powers...

Pinging a server in the office from my apartment yields a result of around 8ms.

Pinging my phone over #WiFi takes 100~200ms.

My phone is sitting right next to me. That server is 5 miles away as the crow flies.

#Fiber for the win.

Microsoft banned Palestinians from its products because they called their families in Gaza on Skype.

I’ve met Palestinians who’ve lost their relatives in Israeli bombardments. People involved in Gaza humanitarian aid.

American corporations can cut them off from essential internet/communication services on a lark.
