I’m in London this week for a BRIMES conference roundtable discussion with my Fighting Erasure project collaborators. Our work highlights the critical role that digital archiving and secure archival collections play in protecting cultures that are suffering violent, intentional erasure.

Looking forward to @getdweb.net Berlin & Cascadia camps this summer but will be hard to top the amazing Camp Navarro experiences of past few years. Thanks @archive.org for a magical time and all the fellow campers for the inspiration and kick-ass, self-sovereign tech. Talk soon.

I promptly managed to lock myself out of default admin account right at unboxing. Spent 24 sleepless hours trying to resurrect access to the DGX OS. Long story short, not as simple as a BIOS Flash. Was frustrating but also a trial by fire on the security measures in place for these DGX OS machines.

@skyfollower.bsky.social worked exactly as I hoped, thanks! Including a results lists with option to review BlueSky accounts and decide case-by-case on whether to re-follow. Only downside is that my list of ~1200 accounts I'm following on X only matched 41 accounts on BlueSky.
