A few days ago, Amin Bandali contacted me about the prospect ofmirroring my videos to the Internet Archive. The idea is to have theoption of a video hosting platform that respects user freedom. Iagreed and confirmed the free/libre copyleft terms I share all mypublications under (GNU GPLv3+ for code, Creative Common BY-SA 4.0 forprose, GNU FDL for my technical manuals).Amin has since done the work and documented it here:https://kelar.org/~bandali/2025/07/25/protesilaos-videos-archive.html.The publication also points to the Python script which performs therequisite operations. The script relies on the source code of mywebsite to extract the relevant data. Amin describes the underlyingtechnical considerations, given the large number of videos that neededto be downloaded from YouTube and uploaded to the Internet Archive.On my part, I made a small change to the template of my website thatproduces the HTML output of entries with an embedded video. Those havelinks to the source on YouTube and, now, to the corresponding InternetArchive page. For example, my latest “Prot Asks” video with Ihor, theEmacs Org mode maintainer, is available here:https://archive.org/details/prot-codelog-2025-07-26-prot-asks-ihor-emacs-org-maintainer-history-travel-material-science/.These “raw links”, as opposed to the embedded frame, are also helpfulfor users who receive my publications via RSS/Atom feeds (and I doshare the entire blog post, by the way, rather than an excerpt becausethat is the most convenient way to read RSS).Thanks to Amin for this initiative!
