I am happy to announce that the bulk of the work on the #Gaza Verified Archive at archive.gaza.onl has been completed.
No matter what admins do today or tomorrow with verified Palestinian accounts, their content is now permanently archived (in 3 different locations for now).
The UI is also ready, and I have added two “merged” timelines for posts and media containing all the content uploaded by all verified accounts - like a unique “Gaza” timeline.
New content is automatically indexed every 5 minutes.
I still feel a bit guilty for using a Vue SPA to build the frontend, but I’ve tried to redeem my sins as much as possible on the integrations side - the archive exposes a REST API, RSS feeds for all the endpoints, a static directory to browse uploaded media, and even the possibility to download the full db for static analysis.
The only major feature that is still missing is a periodic archive, which can be downloaded and used by other archivists to bootstrap their instance, but I’ll work on that today.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al @joynewacc@mastodon.social open to your feedback 🙂
Also, the archive automatically collects and backups posts from the verified accounts that have been uploaded publicly. All licenses and rights belong to the respective authors. If you would like some of the content or your entire profile to be removed from the archive, feel free to reach out to me.
@joynewacc @palestine Thank you so much for this amazing work, @fabio, and for archiving the voices of our Gaza Verified families for posterity. They are bearing witness to genocide and history will not forget their names.
Great project!
