The Rhubarb Compendium, Dan Eisenreich's 30-year labour of love (1994–2024), with hundreds of recipes, growing guides, varieties, history and folklore, It went dark when rhubarbinfo.com lapsed and became a casino redirect. I rebuilt 221 pages from #internetarchive snapshots, every entry linking back to its original URL and Wayback timestamp. Content stays under its original CC BY-SA 3.0 US license. 🥬 https://maphew.github.io/rhubarb/ 🛠️ https://github.com/maphew/rhubarb Thank you @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org and Claude Opus 4.7 for the grunt work.

When MTV News shut down, it felt like decades of culture vanished overnight 🕳️ But over 470,000 pages were already preserved. That history didn’t disappear. It was archived. 📚 Read VANISHING CULTURE to see why it matters 📖 Download & read: https://archive.org/details/vanishing-culture-2026 🛒 Purchase in print: https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/vanishing-culture-a-report-on-our-fragile-cultural-record-9798995425014/new #VanishingCulture #DigitalMemory #InternetArchive #MTVNews #Bookstodon

Huh. Quite the collection of live recordings. Chicago Tape Guy did 40 years of recording 10,000+ concerts. Raw, early-career sets from Nirvana (their 1989 Chicago debut!), R.E.M., The Cure, Sonic Youth, Bangles, Cardigans, Tracy Chapman, and Björk. Some good and interesting listening, reasonable quality for live recordings. https://aadamjacobscollection.org/ #AadamJacobs #LiveMusic #MusicHistory #ConcertTapes #Archiving #IndieRock #Punk #Nirvana #InternetArchive #music

Democracy? What Democracy? It's all about the old mighty cold dollar... -> "When the World Wide Web went live in the early 1990s, its founders hoped it would be a space for anyone to share information and collaborate. But today, the free and open web is shrinking. The Internet Archive has been recording the history of the internet and making it available to the public through its Wayback Machine since 1996. Now, some of the world’s biggest news outlets are blocking the archive’s access to their pages. Major publishers – including The Guardian, The New York Times, the Financial Times, and USA Today – have confirmed they’re ending the Internet Archive’s access to their content. While publishers say they support the archive’s preservation mission, they argue unrestricted access creates unintended consequences, exposing journalism to AI crawlers and members of the public trying to skirt their paywalls. Yet, publishers don’t simply want to lock out AI crawlers. Rather, they want to sell their content to data-hungry tech companies. Their back catalogues of news, books and other media have become a hot commodity as data to train AI systems. https://theconversation.com/news-sites-are-locking-out-the-internet-archive-to-stop-ai-crawling-is-the-open-web-closing-274968 #OpenWeb #Media #InternetArchive #News #Newspapers #Journalism
