Would we be able to improve that with multiple runs? eg. 2 our of 3? (Or, ie. are the errors systematic?)

We've got another article. https://www.fastcompany.com/90440817/bill-gates-solves-your-...

Reports that there is an extension of the deadline to download groups until Jan. 31 are a smokescreen put up by Verizon. The Dec. 14 deadline still holds, but they will take reques…

Ok, so it's a webcast and it LL we can join it through here: https://www.ubs.com/global/en/investment-bank/conferences/am... I'm not clear if we'll be able to give feedback, but I …

Looks like this might help you: https://superuser.com/a/241200 Redsocks is a transparent proxy, though. That'll redirect system-wide. I think you're thinking of your basic socks pr…

Apparently now that they have gotten through the Fandom groups, and are working through the groups that were requested to be archived, they are ranked in order of number of members…

And how complete was it? Have you checked? You may be disappointed. You might want to check out one of these while you have the chance: https://github.com/IgnoredAmbience/yahoo-gro…

Thanks for that history. I wasn't aware of it. I got into this tangentially because of a community and ecosystem of Y-groups that I've been involved in. When I found the Archive Te…

I've only just heard from this woman. She seems to be writing on the issue but not an archivist. (Though I'm not 100% clear.)

Yes, exactly. Other groups have medical tests uploaded to the files section, to be shared with other members and discussed on-list. And yet others had artistic works or literature.…

Well, it was actually intentional. While a lot of us were backing up our groups as individuals (whether as owners or just members), and having no trouble there, the Archive Team wa…

Point taken. There's also stuff there about contacting Verizon and contacting the shareholders of Verizon. For them, I think we need volume.

I don't see why not. Point Thunderbird at it or something and then just transfer the mails over to somewhere else if you want that - but this is not about mail. Rather it's about Y…

ProtonVPN is involved with funding Wireguard development: https://protonvpn.com/blog/wireguard-donation/

Wait. You're saying that the owners of the .org TLD could put restrictions on the use of those domain names? And something like "can't be used for archiving" is a legal possibility…

Using the interface wouldn't block scrapers, yes? They do use the interface. But, this is academic I think. They offer a broken way to get our stuff, and say that we can't do anyth…

I've passed on your idea. What did EFF have to say? Anything hopeful?

Someone else mentioned that group on this thread. A group member. Scroll to the second page. He mentioned it along with a number of other groups worth archiving.

Yes, when a group owner wants to migrate to another platform - a bulletin board or the like - they need to be able to get all the group associated data so they can reconstitute the…
