sad news for Ukagaka archival efforts Σ´ω｀）

all my archive.org uploads have suddenly been deleted following the data breach that was reported around 5-7 hours ago because I changed my login details, I'll try to re-upload the difficult to track down Ukagaka ghosts I documented and my Ukagaka related CD/floppy-disk rips somewhere and I'm going to try to learn how to host stuff myself (neocities is too expensive to keep paying for extra space on) but just wanted to warn my followers that if you change your archive.org email all of your uploads will be erased, to reset any passwords that are the same as your archive.org login. always remember to back up your work on Ukagaka ghosts and progress to a local drive or hard-drive!! right now a lot of the documentation on how to create your own ghost and the history of Ukagaka is lost but hopefully it'll be back soon

#you would think i would be better at data hoarding at this point but my laptops and harddrives keep breaking and i can't afford to replace #not ukagaka #glad I wasn't hacked but it's really disheartening to lose all that work #most of my uploads were desktop mascot or Ukagaka related and impossible to find anywhere else :(#dodgy accounts were stealing my files on archive.org but they were modifying the file sizes+removing sources so I doubt those are reliable #beware of what the hackers claim its pretty obviously bullshit #of course the israel government is bad #but framing the hack that way is definitely deflecting the blame to try to politicize it because afaik archive.org is not pro-israel at all #really sucks #i made this post when i first got the email about the databreach so i am so relieved nobody bought into the lies from the hackers but damn
