Update. "Safeguarding Research & Culture — Distributing Cultural Memory"
safeguarding-research.discours

"The destruction of knowledge and cultural heritage has happened, and therefore it can happen again. We are in the middle of that happening, whether it is caused by human action or natural causes…Safeguarding Research & Culture (#SRC) is creating an alternative #infrastructure for archiving and disseminating of cultural heritage and scientific knowledge…Together, we can ensure that our cultural, intellectual and scientific heritage exists in multiple copies, in multiple places, and that no single entity or group of entities can make it all disappear. Our archive is built according to the principles of #FAIR and #CARE, based on open technologies and standards, and resilient against loss via meaningfully distributed storage…Everyone, from individuals to institutions, can participate by accessing, contributing, and supporting these archival infrastructures."

It's fun to make long exposures of Ferris wheels. The light patterns you see are endless! Electric snowflakes, they are!

History tidbit: George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., (February 14, 1859 – November 22, 1896), inventor for the Ferris wheel, lived in Carson City, Nevada, for a short period of time. The Sears–Ferris House is at 311 W Third Street in Carson City. And in Reno, there is a street named after Ferris.

"Our archive is built according to the principles of #FAIR and #CARE, based on open technologies and standards, and resilient against loss via meaningfully distributed storage.
We focus on publicly available material, like websites, datasets and other media, that are being altered or deleted. Our collective memory manifests in different amplitudes and digital-born artefacts — from large datasets, spanning decades of research on society, to personal wikis and blogs on and by marginalised people."

I love it when people tell me I voted for this 🙄 1; You don't know me.
2; Don't presume to know who I voted for
3; FYI I didn't vote for "THIS ", I voted for state power that is vested in the people or the general population of a state or country, and where people are elected through competitive, fair elections and the idea that all people are created equal, no matter what race, creed, sexual orientation, or political affiliation,and that these people have fundamental rights, such as liberty, free speech, freedom of religion, due process of law, and freedom of assembly.
