Now that the fascists have taken over, what books, academic studies, and pieces of knowledge should take priority in personal/private archival? I’m thinking about what happened in Nazi Germany, especially with the burning of the Institute for Sexual Science(Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) and what was lost completely in the burnings.

Some of us should consider saving stuff digitally or physically. Redundancies will help preserve stuff.

    I’m going to do a shameful plug here, but I have made a sharing protocol & implementation that can be used to store data safely and also to safely share this data.

    It’s called Tenfingers

    It’s working but it is still in its infancy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Please do say what you think about it!

    Lets keep the morale!

      Nice to know. I’m starting to think targeted groups will either use stuff like this or IPFS, or have to resort to Tor/I2P

        Feel free to propagate the good word :-)

        I’m up if someone/some group wants to know more about it, please do tell. For example it can replace IPFS and IMO it’s way easier to setup and use.

      This looks really interesting, so if I have a folder on a computer and I have it setup to share, then any time something gets added to that folder then is it automatically updated for anyone with the link?

      Also, where should people go to help, or find out how to help?

        Thanks!

        You have to manually update your folder (but that can obviously be automated) otherwise yes that’s it!

        For more i formation, you can just follow the link in my post. I have also set up a community [email protected] but it is very empty at the moment.

        Or just look for me, Valmond, and pop a question :-)

        To help? I confess I’m a disaster for PR so I’m just doing my best, but if you’d set up a node that would really be helpful to iron out problems, and with feedback make the setup&usage simpler etc. For example, small files are shared “for free” (configurable) but if your folder is big (for example), then you need nodes in the network to want to share big things too.

        You can obviously just put the links to bigger already shared data in the folder to make things smoother.

        So trying it out and giving feedback would be fantastic!

        Cheers
