⚡ Use the Internet Archive like a Hacker-Librarian
Hosted by Zk Av Club & DWeb
The Internet Archive is more than a website—it’s a vast, living library of humanity’s digital memory. But to truly tap into its potential, you don’t need a browser … you only need the command-line interface (CLI).
Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll demystify the CLI and turn it into your super power for archiving, accessing, and uploading content to the Internet Archive—just like the digital rebels, librarians, and knowledge hackers who keep the web alive.
Whether you’re a total beginner or a curious tinkerer, this hands-on workshop will guide you through the surprisingly friendly world of CLI magic.
What We’ll Explore:
🛠 How to install and summon the powerful ia tool
🔍 How to search for buried media, texts, and history in the Internet Archive
🧳 How to upload your own artifacts and stories to the cloud-library of the world
🗂 Organize metadata like a digital librarian
🌐 How this all connects with the decentralized web and the mission to keep knowledge free
Who Should Join:
Digital explorers, cultural preservationists, web3 wanderers, data hoarders, and anyone who’s ever thought, “What else is possible on the internet?”
No prior command-line experience needed. Just curiosity.
Why This Matters:
In a world of vanishing links and content black holes, the command-line is your compass. Let’s keep history alive—one keystroke at a time.
