SoapBox Plate Preserved as a Durable Culinary Surface
A recovered culinary surface, re-hosted on the family’s own infrastructure so the work survives.
DALLAS–FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The Van Kush Family today confirmed that SoapBox Plate remains live at https://plate.soapbox.community, a culinary surface preserved and re-hosted on the family’s own infrastructure.
Plate is served from a faithful snapshot after its original dynamic source was lost on a production box, and it is now hosted off the family’s vault infrastructure so the surface survives the machine it first ran on — a working instance of the project’s durability thesis.
It connects to the family’s scratch-cooking and culinary material in the Library of Ashurbanipal at https://wiki.soapbox.community, which the project is expanding with terpene chemistry and culinary seed-articles.
Plate is reachable from the hub at https://soapbox.community, and the team continues to maintain the ecosystem’s surfaces natively. The live network is mapped at https://ecosystem.soapbox.community.
