@misty I just woke up and I can't do math, but Claude speculated for me. A ~892 GB SQLite file could keep goo.gl (shortened id, full url, creation date). I could host it on my Raspberry

Google’s shortened goo.gl links will stop working next month

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_URL_Shortener

I cannot say if it is a trusted source. Here, they say that 3.6 billion URLs have been shortened. https://dub.co/blog/googl-links

A single small server could have served as an HTTP redirector, for lifetime.
Nice job, Google!

The best answer to my yesterday's question https://digipres.club/@raffaele/113860006500966105 was Publii https://getpublii.com/

It uses its own data format (static files + SQLite, which is good), but is not Hugo or any of the well-known SSGs, so I am still evaluating it. But, I mean, is a good tool, that I would recommend to anyone who wants to build a website today.

I also had a dejavu: Citydesk for Windows, ~2001, by Joel Spolsky

this is neat, thanks for the suggestion. It uses its own source format (not Hugo or other SSGs) but has many good things: the UI works, data saved to SQLite, automatically recompress thumbs to WebP, html output has optimal defaults and is very fast.

I would need a desktop editing application for a static site generator (Hugo) for non tech people. Edit happens locally, then the content folder is synced remotely (Syncthing) where build happens. https://www.pubcrank.md/ is the right idea, but not free and chrome only, and still a bit raw.
Can you suggest more similar apps?
Requirements: desktop app, single user, wysisyg, that works offline.

Periodic question: do you know any modern tool equivalent to Jenkins or Rundeck?
Requirements: local or remote execution of scripts, web interface, api.

@nemobis It was just a stupid script to load the json dump into SQLite https://gist.github.com/atomotic/983feb36dc6c9e03c0ee9a0c432c7420
no data was saved into the repo, just a link to annas-archive torrent

@nemobis @magnusmanske I think ISBNdb already claimed
and got it removed

"L’Encyclopédie di Diderot e d'Alembert ha ormai lasciato il posto a Wikipedia. I giovani rischiano di formare la loro coscienza civile su fonti di scarsa qualità scientifica, che non esprimono la profondità delle culture europee, sono omologate alle derive del ìpoliticamente corretto'" 🤦♂️

@wikimediaitalia @nemobis

@edsu @wikimediaitalia @nemobis Yeah, and the full context is even worse: in this interview, the Minister of Culture says that we will be obligated to spend money on weapons anyway, but if we invest a small sum of money in culture (libraries), this will then allow us to not use those weapons

@ryanfb the IA cli actually allows with ease to get bulk metadata and torrent files. But, the api called, is on the same domain, so down now.
They offer torrent for single items, would be better to have it for full collections. The good old rsyncd or zsync http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ could also be enough.

(I have just read Jason Scott on X, the problem is failed frontend server)

for the series: database dumps are better than HTTP API ¹

F1DB is the most comprehensive free open source database with all-time Formula 1 racing data and statistics.

Download the SQLite dumps 14MB zipped, 70 uncompressed. And you are ready to use the data

@nemobis sorry, that was unuseful sarcasm. my point is that the idea of "software sovereignity" is a mistake.

WTF is this? software is free, but national (and ideological) borders are not.

Gli oggetti digitali del catalogo SBN https://literarymachin.es/sbn-digital/

Utilizzando le API (di cui non conoscevo l'esistenza fino a qualche mese fa) ho catturato i record del catalogo SBN di cui è disponibile l'oggetto digitale. Alcune prime impressioni e criticità incontrate. Procederò in futuro a delle analisi specifiche sui contenuti IIIF.
