Jared Jennings<p>I just read that nps.gov erased Harriet Tubman from a page about the Underground Railroad. I want not only to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/archive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archive</span></a> copies of websites, but to use <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryptography</span></a> to prove that this was the content fetchable from the real page at a date in the past. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/provenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>provenance</span></a> Why aren't there FAQs about how to do this already? I've just seen sciop.net which appears to be using both <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BitTorrent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BitTorrent</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RDF</span></a> to advantage; and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ArchiveTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchiveTeam</span></a> appears to be doing distributed fetching at scale with their ArchiveWarrior thingy. But how should anyone trust that I don't tamper with the pages I fetch and archive? Or what if I just want free backups, so I pass off my photo archive as part of <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/memoryhole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memoryhole</span></a> 'd DEI policies? And where's <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ipfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ipfs</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/dat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dat</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/hypercore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hypercore</span></a> ?</p>
