Kate MurrayNew blog post about the Library of Congress 2025-2026 updates to the Recommended Formats Statement (RFS). A few changes to note related to Design and 3D formats (mostly just rescoping), updates to email-related metadata to better align with EA-PDF and continued work to document digital accessibility support in file formats listed as "acceptable" in the RFS. See the Change Log for all updates.

Many of these assets were 2048 bytes or smaller. I looked up the spec for a POSIX tar file, and it involved rounding up each file's size to a multiple of the 512-byte block size and adding a 512-byte block header. That kind of overhead adds up. On top of that, searching for a particular file in a tarball takes linear time, not constant or even logarithmic time.That led me to devise and document a simpler, more fit for purpose archive format called GBFS. Other specialized archive formats may benefit from packing files so as to avoid crossing 16K, 32K, 64K, or 128K block boundaries in the medium.<a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/FileFormats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FileFormats</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/gbadev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gbadev</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/GameBoyAdvance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GameBoyAdvance</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/FileFormat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FileFormat</a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archives</a>

Ross SpencerThe sensitivity index: Corrupting Y2K by <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="u-url mention" href="https://digipres.club/@beet_keeper" target="_blank">@beet_keeper</a>In December I asked “What will you bitflip today?” Not long after, Johan’s (<a rel="nofollow noopener" class="u-url mention" href="https://digipres.club/@bitsgalore" target="_blank">@bitsgalore</a>) Digtial Dark Age Crew released its long lost hidden single Y2K — well, I couldn’t resist corrupting it.Fixity is an interesting property enabled by digital technologies. Checksums allow us to demonstrate mathematically that a file has not been changed. An often cited definition of fixity is:Fixity, in the preservation sense, means the assurance that a digital file has remained unchanged, i.e. fixed — Bailey (2014)It’s very much linked to the concept of integrity. A UNESCO definition of which:The state of being whole, uncorrupted and free of unauthorized and undocumented changes.Integrity is massively important these days. It gives us the guarantees we need that digital objects we work with aren’t harboring their own sinister secrets in the form of malware and other potentially damaging payloads.These values are contingent on bit-level preservation, the field of digital preservation largely assumes this; that we will be able to look after our content without losing information. As feasible as this may be these days, what happens if we lose some information? Where does authenticity come into play?Through corrupting Y2K, I took time to reflect on integrity versus authenticity, as well as create some interesting glitched outputs. I also uncovered what may be the first audio that reveals what the Millennium Bug itself may have sounded like! Keen to hear it?

Maypop the DragonI am trying to make a tool (<a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/DJJerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DJJerry</a>) that helps you manage your local music collection. I've been stuck on trying to pick a format for the configuration/manifest files.I have even thought about inventing my own file format designed to be very clean and readable to people who don't know code (shown in image).What file format would you personally prefer?<a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/softwaredevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#softwaredevelopment</a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/DJJerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DJJerry</a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freesoftware</a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/fileformats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fileformats</a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/anticapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#anticapitalism</a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/praxis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#praxis</a>
