First, the bad:

_{{ Play your favorite ambient cosmic horror track here }}

For better or worse, we are living in a historical turning point:

In the near future, World maps might get redrawn, new policy might get drafted... Some of us will be caught in the crossfires of this looming crisis, while some will witness it unfold from a far...

Information will be restricted, social media will be monitored and weaponized, evidence will be redacted - crimes erased.

We think that once information is public, it will never disappear, someone will keep track... justice will be served.

But now that social media and cloud servers are owned by Technocratic oligarchs, no information is safe with them. Accounts that post things out-of-line can get banned, websites can be deleted.

On top of it all, the internet is getting diluted by AI-generated content and Aditorials designed to sell not inform.

Where is our WikiLeaks 2.0? Where can whistleblowers turn to? Where can we store evidence safely and publicly?

The internet was supposed to be our equalizer — a way for the masses to hold the powerful accountable... But it wasn't long before they simply bought it out and rewrote the rules. Now we are the ones being held accountable for challenging their whims.

They can lie without shame, because they know they hold the levers of power.

I don't have an answer for you... I suppose it's good to live in a country that most people can't pronounce or find on the map... sadly, not my case...

Why am I making all this 'Doomer' talk? It's because I wish to convey to you the importance of 'safe public information storage' and the ability to verify it's original source against all the AI-slop and all the redacted BS that will come.

Now, the Good:

If you’ve been here long enough, you already know the answer (to everything) is decentralization and blockchain. And unironically, this is true.

ArcHive

Designed by the legendary Hive account@theycallmedan
This seemingly simple little tool does something very powerful: It archives the information on any webpage and uses cryptographic verification to generate a unique hash, which can be used to authenticate the saved content — its source, text, and images.

A few days ago, I made my first archive of — what I thought was — important public information (Charter of Trump’s Board of Peace), using this newly discovered tool called ArcHive.

Consider how strange it is that the only place I could find the full text of this charter was on an Israeli news site. What if they decided to delete it tomorrow? That concern no longer applies, because I’ve archived it and republished it on my blog using ArcHive.

I invite you to start using this tool to archive what valuable information you find on the web or social media.
Yes, dear reader, it's really up to us to make important information publicly available and safe from anyone who might want it redacted or gone.

Instructions:

1. Go to: https://dhenz14.github.io/archive/
2. Drag the big yellow "ArcHive" button to your browser bookmarks.
   
3. Go to the page that you wish to archive and click on the bookmark you made.
4. A window will appear with the link ready to be archived.
5. Click on the little red/white 'Shield' icon, right next to the link.
   
6. Verify your Hive account using Keychain.
7. Archive.
8. (Optional) Publish on your blog.
9. You will see a confirmation that the page was archived.
10. Done.

When the archive is done, you will see it added to your ArcHive window.

‼️ IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND:

• The post that will be automatically generated on your blog will be a burn post - no payout will be collected from this post.
• Do not edit the text you publish or you will invalidate the process of archiving.
• Pages can only be archived once! When you archive a page, NO ONE ELSE can archive it again on the Hive Blockchain.

A dash of Ugly Beauty:

A large enough solar flare can potentially trigger a geomagnetic storm capable of ending this entire experiment of ours. It’s like an asteroid, but only for electronic devices. Everyone loses, and we start humanity from scratch... and no amount of blockchain will help anyone there.

So, my darlings, respect your books and give them a much-deserved dusting. I know, I know — but I wouldn’t be a respectable nihilist if I didn’t share this bit of trivia with you.
