Another @404media.co article on #DataRescue. This one concerns the challenges around restricted access data (often human subjects data). We at DRP are seriously concerned about these datasets and the loss that will impact research and more for a long time.

New post on USAID's Demographic & Health Surveys. We've deposited all summary data and the shapefiles from these critical surveys. While we can't save restricted data, we are excited about retaining this access. Thanks to our #DataRescue volunteers! www.datarescueproject.org/usaids-demog...

The ArchiveTeam Warrior has been running intermittently on my laptop for ten days now.
It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.
Everything's fine. It only runs while I use the laptop. I don't notice it. When the laptop goes into standby and wakes up again that doesn't seem to have any adverse effects.
I've downloaded and uploaded gigabytes so far. The top of the leader board for this project is half a petabyte.
Now I'm considering a installation where it could run around the clock. I don't want to increase our household's standby energy consumption too much, so I will see how that goes.

Today, we added more PubMed and NCBI stuff from NIH:
Today I noticed a heck of a lot of 404's when I was fetching #pubmed data. Seems there was a thorough gutting there this week. Links to articles are still there but the articles themselves are going missing en masse. I'm going to continue to grab and post what I can here:
Today saw more incremental updates to NVD and NIH data. More on the way soon!

Just published a sizable update to NIH archives, including among other things a bunch of pubmed article and book data.

More coming soon!
Today we published a sizable update to the Social Security Administration public archive. (Please note that the layout of the repo has changed to accommodate other subdomains of the SSA.)

More on the way soon!
In the process of downloading the National Archives' youtube channel - 2914 videos. You know the fascists will start deleting these. I will have a shiny new torrent! #datahoarder #datapreservation #preservation #uspol #usgovernment #data #DataRescue #torrent #antifa #resistance #resist
Today, we published initial archives of US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and Delta Regional Authority (DRA), and updated the NIST NVD and cancer.gov archives.

If you work(ed) in federal government and know of some public websites or data that is likely to be taken down sooner than later, I would appreciate knowing about it so we can prioritize archiving it.
We still have a bunch more on the way, but we prioritize requests and tips over my own inklings.
Installed and started the ArchiveTeam Warrior. Very smooth experience.
It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.
I took the "ArchiveTeam’s Choice" project and it chose public telegram channels. It's not taking a lot of bandwidth or memory or space or computing, as far as I can tell. It might take too much of my time and focus if I continue staring at the dashboard to try and figure out what all that stuff is.
For those of you who work with US federal government data or rely on US government websites as resources, check out the Data Rescue Project (https://www.datarescueproject.org/) and the End of Term Archive (https://eotarchive.org/)! Both archive US government data or website content and provide it free of charge to anyone. 1/3
