A reminder that we can help preserve Smithsonian's data from censorship/deletion with SciOp, Torrent and some hard drive space:

@enriquericos ok, now I'm curious: Do you know I'm involved with SciOp?

Because your quote-boost made me really happy

[enriquericos@mastoart.social]

@lavaeolus Ha! I had no idea, I don't think I've ever read you before
@artcollisions boosted your post and I immediately remembered that SciOp has Smithsonian data.

I don't remember how I discovered SciOp, I bet I saw something boosted a while ago.

In any case, big fan of the project!

@enriquericos @lavaeolus drawing big hearts around both of you!

[lavaeolus@fedihum.org]

@enriquericos that's awesome!
I love seeing how the project has broken containment, so to speak

It's a project being done by @SafeguardingResearch, we're posting updates etc. there

@enriquericos
It has become quiet around the Smithsonian data since last year, especially since the Library Innovation Lab at Harvard Law took the 710TB of public data:

But we're sure there is more to come, especially with those very bad news...
@artcollisions @lavaeolus

[enriquericos@mastoart.social]

@artcollisions @lavaeolus Yes, it must have circulated pretty far if it got to a random art student

And thanks for the link! I didn't know the account.

[enriquericos@mastoart.social]

@artcollisions @lavaeolus Aaaw

[enriquericos@mastoart.social]

@SafeguardingResearch @artcollisions @lavaeolus I'm already freeing space on my drive. Thanks for your work and for giving people like me a way to help

[artcollisions@vis.social]

@enriquericos @lavaeolus I love connecting people!

[travisfw@fosstodon.org]

@enriquericos lol "some"

[enriquericos@mastoart.social]

@travisfw Because the datasets are large? You could always share a torrent partially.
