A history of early software repositories and the role of computer user groups in maintaining them and enabling code sharing. A little known story I was curious about.
Was ist der Grund warum die #WikipediaApp aus #FDroid fast immer eine Version gegenüber der #GooglePlaystore Variante hinterher ist? Gibt es evtl. ein #Repository wo ich die aktuellste Versionen der WikipediaApp schneller bekomme als in F-Droid?
@mondstern es stört mich insofern, das der Google Playstore dann die Wikipedia App immer als aktualisierbar anzeigt, da dort eine aktuellere Version vorliegt.
@bluelupo@mondstern das ist leider scheinbar ein Bug/Feature welches neuerdings im PlayStore auftritt, er zeigt Updates für Apps an, die er gar nihct aktualisieren kann, weil andere Signatur
#SearchRxiv is an #OpenAccess#repository "where librarians and researchers can share searches created for literature reviews. To support findability and #reuse, searchRxiv issues a #DOI for every unique search posted and adds indexing to the entry."
"It aims to extend the study of the dissemination of plainchant from localized research focused mostly on Europe and the Middle Ages to global research tracing transmission to other continents through to the modern era. "
🙏 @sapiens Such interesting questions from this project!
"Do you own a chant fragment or do you know someone who does? What do you know about its history and travels?"
@ClaireFromClare@medievodons I don't own any fragment or know other individuals that own, besides archives or museums. But there are lot of repositories regarding this kind of music and some of them thoroughly register their origin and whereabouts. You may already know most of them:
Ogni notte o quando è, il mio #server si collegherà via #FTP ad #AlterVista e sincronizzerà in locale la cartella wp-contents grazie ad #rclone. Allo stesso tempo, con un comando #cURL copiato dal browser, si scaricherà una copia del file #XRSS di esportazione #WordPress. A quel punto, finirà tutto su una #repository#Git privata, con buona pace delle corporation che mi offrono il servizio, a cui sottrarrò gratuitamente ancora più GB di #archiviazione. 💾
Sono sempre pallose questo tipo di #faccende, ma c’è poco da fare, perché non c’è backup più scocciante di quello non fatto…
"The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (#CARL), the Ontario Council of University Libraries (#OCUL), and University of Toronto Libraries are pleased to announce their…intent to develop…a robust and scalable multi-institutional national #repository service."
I'm thinking I use GitHub for now. Learn the #Vscode and GitHub workflow. Then learn the #Linux#CLI and GitHub workflow. And finally work on CLI to self hosted repository workflow.
"There are also unexpected synergies that emerge from this combination functions in a single repository. Members’ comments about various works will eventually (some time after launch) be publishable via #ActivityPub streams."
@petersuber The devil is in communicating one’s actual needs: There is a hospital in South Africa which put out a RFP, Request For Proposal, for a medical records system. The requirements were so over the top and formal that my open source proposal were rejected. Then they finally balked and said they just need something. By that time we had moved on.
I have created a Github repository with an automatically updated CSV-file containing importable Infosec Mastodon people based on the @LukaszOlejnik Google sheet.
