URLs break. Code disappears. The #SWHID is the cryptographically strong, decentralized tech that guarantees persistence. Compute it yourself. (Plus, it's now an ISO standard.) https://www.softwareheritage.org/2025/11/20/swhid-seminar-post/

I agree with everything in this. Though not a lot of these actions can be done locally.

And, of course, use @softwareheritage.org .

Archive your research software, and archive your articles' source.

These very nice slides by Marie Farge on how researchers can regain control of publication have been brought to my attention: openscience.ens.fr/MARIE_FARGE/... — I think they're worth spreading more widely!
Slide titled “How can researchers regain control of publication?” by Marie Farge (from a talk given on 2025-09-02 in Milan at the International Conference on Optimization and Decision Science).
