About this episode
The episode features a discussion with Jonny and Jez about the SciOp project, which focuses on torrent-based data preservation.
We’re talking with Jonny and Jez about SciOp, a torrent-focused data preservation project that encourages academics to help with the act of making data available. It’s distributed, it’s robust, and SciOp is working on making it easy to do. contact@safeguar.de Contact Jonny: Fedi: https://elektrine.com/remote/jonny@neuromatch.social Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/jo.nny.rip Media mentioned https://sciop.net/ https://forum.safeguar.de/about https://blog.sciop.net/2025-08-29/webseeds https://punctumbooks.com/titles/warez-the-infrastructure-and-aesthetics-of-piracy/ Safeguarding/sciop: collecting at-risk data in torrent rss feeds - Codeberg.org - https://codeberg.org/safeguarding/sciop- the scraping code, such as it is: https://codeberg.org/Safeguarding/sciop-scraping - sciop the blog, such as it is: https://blog.sciop.net/ https://programminghistorian.org/ https://book.the-turing-way.org/ last episodes on federation: https://www.librarypunk.gay/e/101-mastodon-bluesky-and-bullshit-part-1-feat-jonny-saunders/ https://www.librarypunk.gay/e/102-mastodon-bluesky-and-bullshit-part-2-feat-jonny/ Tools mentioned webrecorder, browser trix https://webrecorder.net/…
