Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

A bit too late buddy o' pal.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 14 points 19 hours ago

I'm also pretty sure that that doesn't matter as the second that these file hit the internet, there were over 9000 copies.

I'm pretty sure theres a fediverse post where someone has already merged all of these into one and thrown out the duplicates. Let me comment and I'll come back with the link.

Edit:

i wish the documents would make a difference.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They do to me. Aspire to write their crimes on the stone of their mass grave.

Edit:
and let it be a modern reminder to mever forget who it is we are dealing with

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

was it written on the tombstones of the catholic priests that were protected by the church?

or the boy scout leaders?

or the southern baptist convention?

Chisel the epitaphs you want to see in the world

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The DA wouldn't care that it was the graves of a bunch of pedo's. The indictment would just read 'Defendant with poor life choices vs. The State.' I'm not going to jail as a martyr for their legacy. Pass.

And now we see why the world is the way it is.

Cases take time to build and evidence is not proof so investigations are needed for each clue to determine what's actual criminal. These files just released. Give it time.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

did that happen when ti was revealed that the catholic church was protecting predators?

or the boy scouts?

or the southern baptists convention?

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Yes. The boy scouts and Catholics have no more reports by people who claim to be victims. Real change happened and no one seemed to care but shit did change. Just because you don't notice doesn't mean things are stuck being the same.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The files were held by the DOJ, the literal department responsible for investigating crimes of this magnitude.

They've been held for at least two administrations and were ordered released by an act of Congress.

At what point is it "enough time"?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 0 points 20 hours ago

it's the catholic church pedo leaks all over again ...

or the boy scouts ...

or the panama papers ...

or the snowden leaks ...

or cambridge analytica ...

Did the hoarders miss anything while they were up?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably: https://github.com/yung-megafone/Epstein-Files

Not sure about the hashes/ sha256's

Data integrity matters here.

[–] Oisteink@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Set 10 on archive isn’t complete?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Set 9 doesn't appear to be complete either.

[–] Roomstrid102@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is because unredacted csam were found and reported on those 2 datasets. I hope csam gets redacted and the pedos names fully unredacted so we can continue our efforts to save the data and hold the pedos accountable.

It feels like they're trying to cover it all up even after releasing at the same time under and somehow overly redacted files

Doge strikes again
