Mati, would you be interested in having a friendly and open (anti-)debate on here (as a new post) about the value of open information, both for life extension purposes and else (such as Facebook group moderation)? I really support the idea of lifelogging for various purposes such as life extension but have a strong disagreement with the general stance of universal access to information as more-or-less always being a public good.
Meta: This isn’t really related to the above comment, so might be better to start a new comment in my shortform next time.
Object: I don’t want to argue about open information in general for now. I might be open to discussing something more specific and directly actionable, especially if we haven’t done so yet and you think it’s important.
It doesn’t currently seem to me that relevant to put one’s information public for life extension purposes given you can just backup the information in private, in case you were implying or thinking that.
I also don’t (at least currently and in the past) advocate for universal access to information in case you were implying or thinking that.
topic: lifelogging as life extension
which formats should we preserve our files in?
I think it should be:
- open source and popular (to increase chances it’s still accessible in the future)
- resistant to data degradation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_degradation (thanks to Matthew Barnett for bringing this to my attention)
