Looking after your URLs: tikalinkextract eight years on
by @beet_keeper
We might not have a second life, but what if I told you there was a second internet? Not the deep web, but another web that we engage with nearly every day?
Think about it, that QR code you scanned for more information? That payment link you followed on your electricity bill? The website you’re told to visit at the end of a television ad?
The antipodes of the internet are these terminal endpoints, material and not necessarily material objects that represent the end of the freely navigable web — the QR code on a concert poster is the web printed onto the physical world. There is every chance it will be scanned and followed by someone from a mobile device, but it’s a transient object, something that will exist for a short amount of time, and then disappear into the palimpsest of the poster board or wall it was pasted on until it eventually disappears.
This is part of the materiality of the internet that has long fascinated me. Perhaps it comes from being a student of material culture, but if we look around, we see the Internet everywhere!

Alex Chan: Building a personal archive of the web, the slow way . “I’ve worked on web archives in a professional setting, but this one is strictly personal. This gives me more freedom to make different decisions and trade-offs. I can focus on the pages I care about, spend more time on quality control, and delete parts of a page I don’t need – without worrying about institutional […]

Colleagues from the Danish Royal Library showcasing the strengths of #SolrWayback, a powerful web application for searching and exploring data in #WebArchives by using memes about Trump and Greenland in their #BDCAM25 presentation
SolrWayback offers network analysis of domains, powerful visualization tools like N-gram, search by location on a map using EXIF metadata information in images, and, not least, the possibility to export data and derivatives from search results. https://github.com/netarchivesuite/solrwayback
#BDCAM25 Many technical, conceptual & practical issues when doing research on / with large born-digital archives (especially #WebArchives)
• Data format
• Data volume
• Data processing
• Data "visibility"
• Data derivation
• Provenance
• Acquisition
• Border/boundary
• Breadth
• Ellipses (elisions)

Hey fellow fedinauts i need some #feditips for two #tools:
1) a tool that can be used to periodically scan my Mastodon account for which toots I have bookmarked (not faved or retooted) and creates an collection of these as plain files.
2) a tool which can be run locally - preferably self contained with little to no dependencies (no redis, SQL, nginx...) - create decent "high fidelity" #Webarchives from a list of links. Think #ytdlp equivalent of #archive.ph?
A Tool That Helps Provide Easy and Fast Access to Archived Web Content and #Data https://www.infodocket.com/2025/02/13/a-tool-that-helps-provide-easy-and-fast-access-to-archived-web-content-and-data/ #archives #webarchives @internetarchive
