For my own custom archive format, I only bothered to implement the absolute bare minimum I need.

I have a common problem with several work-related projects. After quite a bit of pondering, I believe I have found the solution in my archives - a bash script linking a few very cool utilities that I wrote 20 years ago in the heady days of Egressive. Probably took weeks to get it right (it automates a business-critical backup process). I'm very chuffed my archives are still with me. You can never tell when they might come in handy. This will likely save days of work.

Gifts to the US President are generally considered to be the property of the United States rather than of the president as a person or the president as an office.
So it seems to me that the US National Archives is now the proud owner of a the physical object of a Nobel Peace Prize.
(Of course, el cheato will try to retain physical possession and we will have to pry it from his cold dead fingers, a task that , I suspect, many of us would find rather appealing.)

For work I have a script that archives a bunch of files from time to time (they are usually around 4.5GiB). After compression with 7-Zip defaults they get reduced to about 515 MiB but since it is a limited VM this takes half an hour. I played with 7z options and got it down to a reasonable size (685MiB) in around 48s, which is great but playing further with other compression options I found a Zstandard combo that got it down to around 800 MiB in only 20 seconds. Much bigger but small enough …

Idea: When (and if) the D's come back to power they should enact a law that pulls all of the trump term documents and artifacts into the National Archives and refuse to let them go to the el cheato presidential library.
If those materials are allowed to go to "the library" that place will become a shrine to maga - just as the ronnie-raygun library has become a shrine.

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.
