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!
