       The outright wrecking of the scientific infrastructure in the US under the current administration chilled me to my bone. Kept me doomscrolling. But I finally found a way to do something positive, in a small way: I dedicated some storage space and a bit of my internet connection to a decentralized backup of deleted research data. I am happy to report that @SafeguardingResearch 's torrent swarm now has ca 14 TB storage and a Gbit connection more. #sciop #safeguardingresearch #academicchatter

       @SafeguardingResearch  What I really did was dust off a bunch of random junk-drawer hard drives and tinker with LVM and docker settings for an evening. If you think "I bet I can do this in half an hour", please go ahead and help the swarm. If you haven't the foggiest idea what this is about but want a chance to do some good in the world, let me know and I'd be happy to help with setting up whatever you have available. Maybe, together, we can keep the doom at bay for a little while.

       @SafeguardingResearch Anyways, big thanks to @lavaeolus and @jonny for being the unlikely cyberpunk heroes we need right now. Thanks to your hard work we have a fighting chance to keep some climate, biosciences, etc data from disappearing forever.
