🎯 We will be migrating to a new server because https://toot.community will be shutting down. We are considering hosting our own instance (seems like overkill) or moving to https://mastodon.nl Does anyone have a good suggestion for other options?
And FYI - If you have an account there and haven't yet migrated to a new server, don't procrastinate. https://social.jorijn.com/@jorijn/statuses/01KYN00AP3NCZXCFB96KQB8GN2

"Lock the web open."
That was Brewster Kahle's message at DWeb Camp 2026 in Berlin. An open web isn't a given, it has to be built, protected, and sustained.
Our latest blog reflects on why that matters for digital preservation and the future of online memory.

We hosted Davide Eynard and Thomas (TOTO) Bille from Mozilla AI team in Amsterdam this week to talk about what it means to own your AI stack rather than rent it.
One moment: an open source agent turned to the Wayback Machine a dozen times to verify a source. Preserved web history is not nostalgia: it is infrastructure.

Who decides what gets remembered? On 9 June we hosted the Data CARE Festival Fellows at our Amsterdam space for a panel on archives, AI, and whose knowledge gets encoded.

- absolutely professional renaissance scholars and other specialists have read some, but not all. Only 3% of all the literature has been translated into modern languages.
The translation of Greek into Latin ushered in the renaissance, what will translating them into modern language do for the time we are in now?

Most of the Renaissance has never been read.
Around 90% of Renaissance Latin has never been translated into a modern language. Source Library is helping change that, making thousands of historical works accessible to readers worldwide.

If you’re not on Open Street Map do you even exist? 😆 Well, now the Internet Archive Europe is officially on and off line! 🙌 Come visit us when we have reading room hours and open events. Stay tuned for more into about that later on.

@npub1ftl…3e6s "In history, libraries usually have not ended well. They are often destroyed by powerful institutions. It used to be the church and the state, now it's governments and companies."
