sourcehut, self-hosted Gogs or Forgejo are some good candidates. Gitea is popular, but there's apparently been some drama about them going commercial without proper buy-in from their contributors. (The code lineage is AFAIK Gogs → Gitea → Forgejo).
All the above solutions make it super-easy to mirror a github project as well, just in case it goes away :) Doing so has saved my arse more than a few times when github takes a repo down for stupid reasons.
Gitlab seems too heavyweight to me. I use Gogs myself on my home server. No code review tools via PR ala github/gitlab, but I don't need those in my web frontend.
You know this would be a great programming problem for CS students. Given the phrase "head less horse man", generate all 4-word phrases, repeated words allowed. (Some of the ones in this picture aren't 4 words, but anyways...)
Consider the words "head less horse man" to be digits in a base-4 number system; head=0 less=1 horse=2 man=3. Counting from 0 to (4^4)-1 would yield 256 unique values,
head head head head = 0
head head head less = 1
head head head horse = 2
head head head man = 3
head head less head = 10 (4 base 10)
..
man man man man = (4^4)-1 = 3333 (255 base 10)
Bonus points for funniest picture to go with a value (must be hand-drawn by student, no AI allowed) :)
EDIT: not permutations, which I originally said. It's more of an exercise in understanding how to count in bases other than 10.
Posts you make on a forum are not "works" that are copyrightable.
That may depend on the platform -- slashdot (remember that site?) once upon a time had a footer on their pages stating "All posts belong to their authors". There were a few big debates about that being legally enforceable. Hmm. I wonder if there ever was a legal ruling on that.
I notice today their site does not have such a disclaimer. Probably disappeared long ago, due to one of their many corporate buyouts.
NOTE DeGourou is incompatible with the tool mentioned in my post here (Python library differences) so install it in a different account if you want to use both tools often. (Maybe someone more fluent in Python can find out why installing one breaks the other?)
Now DeGourou seems to only download individual books. Would be great if it could be made to iterate over entire collections as well...
Good use case for old flash, and I'm all for saving bits from the landfill if they can be used. Hmm. That reminds me I should get my retro game setup going again...
..but if they're scavenged from old Apple products, who knows how much wear the flash has? It might have a drastically shortened lifetime; that would be very bad for an SSD.
interface ICs, etc. don't wear in this way, but Flash memory.. I'd never want used flash for my SSD.
I wish the IA would offer a torrents of the overall collection but it's over 400k separate torrents, one for each album. And they contain FLACs, fixed- and VBR MP3s, PDF jacket notes, JPGs ... it's just too much for one person (I am OK with buying an 8TB drive or two, but not a dozen!)
I'm trying to at least grab the VBR MP3s (these are old scratchy records after all... I don't know how much FLAC will really preserve). Maybe if I can get most of those, I'll do a second pass and get the album cover JPGs, then liner PDFs... depending on if/how long the collection stays up.
Normally I would just fetch the torrent, yes, but this particular collection is huge -- over 400k separate items (which on IA be their own torrents). Is there a way to get an aggregate, but filtered, torrent with just, say, the album jpg and VBR mp3 files for each? I don't think I can afford the entire collection as each also has the FLACs.
FYI I'm currently on 4001-8000 of the 'Great 78 Collection'. Looks like I'll need about 6TB to get it all, yikes! (Just the VBR MP3 files, not the FLACs. Holy Hell.)
If everyone would take blocks of it, say 4000 each, we can eventually create torrents for each one or something so it can all be reassembled if/when the IA has to take it down.
He was still afraid to say he wouldn't vote for Trump, he just said he wouldn't vote for Biden and would vote Republican. So.... if Trump is the Republican candidate, what will he do? Note vote at all? Or... the obvious logical conclusion to his non-answer?
In Canada, at least when I was younger, there was a sort of hierarchy of post-secondary institutions, named honestly for their mandates: Technical Institutes, Colleges, Universities, ranging from good, focused, short-term (1-2yr max) trades education, to somewhat white-collar education and business training (2-3 years) without little to no research focus, to full-on graduate/post-graduate tracks (4 yrs undergrad BsC/BEd etc. and beyond) doing the typical research expected of Universities.
If this "University" has truly cut out anything considered arts/humanities or "liberal arts", then they should be required to drop the facade and just call themselves a tech institute or something.
I sincerely hope people are organizing to back this all up -- datahoarders unite!
These days it's affordable to dedicate an 8TB disk to back up as much of these as possible.. anyone have any tips on bulk-downloading the individual 78s from archive.org?
ia download -a -i --format="VBR MP3" --search collection:georgeblood
EDIT #2: I've submitted a patch adding options to specify start and end item indices, so one can more easily download parts of a collection and resume later -- or coordinate with others so each can download non-overlapping parts of a huge collection, and put them together later. See this PR
What country are you in? I wonder if they're rolling it out to smaller markets to see how much backlash they get.
Time to get a federated video hosting service scaled up ASAP. But who could afford the bandwidth and storage? We need a stable torrent-based streaming solution I suppose.
Oof :)
