It's very exciting to see digital repositories starting to pick up on the fact that they can create a web archive and embed it with the <replay-web-page> JavaScript component in their repository pointed at the WACZ file, and they have a fully functional web archive player for their web archive: For example this from the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive:

I found myself wandering about in #scuttlebutt again. It's such a wild experiment that just keeps going. I really like how time flows on there. 🦀

Awesome to see @despens present about the Wikibase Stakeholder Group at #wikidatacon, which is a cooperative for using, building and maintaining extensions to the Wikibase software that is behind Wikidata. https://wbstakeholder.group/about It would be super to see more involvement from the creators of Wikibase core though, or maybe that's happening already?

Some thoughts about *that* talk _Why "Web Archiving" is No Longer a Useful Concept or Phrase_

I caught someone using a pull request against one of my GitHub repositories to trigger crypto-currency mining via a GitHub action. I took a snapshot of it with archive-web-page here after reporting it to GitHub: https://inkdroid.org/web-archives/github-bitcoin-mining/ It seems like this is a thing now: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/github-actions-being-actively-abused-to-mine-cryptocurrency-on-github-servers/ The only way to turn it off is to only run actions that are defined by the repository?

FWIW I'm glad I took a snapshot of the pull request pages with https://archiveweb.page because GitHub have deleted the PR, so it's like it never existed.

What's the best way to integrate email with your opensource application stack? If you have an opinion I'd love to hear it.

I got totally hooked on this series Un Village Français at the beginning of the Corona, and watched all 7 seasons (72 episodes) over the past few months. It tells the story of a small French village during (and after) the German occupation of France. It's hard to summarize other than by saying "it's complicated". Now I feel utterly lost. I don't know what to watch on TV anymore. |
@edsu we used to use that at the dictionary publisher I worked for. We had to be terribly careful not to let our internal databases out into the wild
@edsu wowzers!
