I have NOT deleted my "X" account YET...

to be honest, solely because I'm too proud I have @FFmpeg @BBCRD @beeldengeluid R&D, etc as my first <20 "followers" on "#Twitter" (2015) 😊 ⭐

(due to my work on #ffv1 and #foss for #digipres #dltp)

- hoping they'll do the same here on #mastodon? 😉 😃

How much is this "worth" (in money)?

(my) webservers (!) running without reboot for almost 10 years 🖖 🥳
/WITHOUT/ changing anything.
(only security patches)

Thanks to #Debian's #FOSS-developer best-practice of:

"**fixing a security problem is to make as few changes as possible**"

And other distros building on top of each other, in collaboration.

Watching the re-indexing of an archival catalog backup of AtoM, I realized:

Indices populated with 18751 documents in 164.84 seconds.

19k Objects?
Thats /nothing/ for a regular #bigDATA tech-tool. This is peanuts.

400.000 Objects?
Millions?! - According to documentation of #ApacheIceberg #ObjectStore #Redis #KeyDB, etc: **easy**

#DLTP & #GLAM: Storing and using those "objects" in key/value annotated filesystems with bigDATA tools:

**FUN!!**

I've mentioned it here already, but I think it's good to keep this way of data-handling/thinking on our radars:

https://datacentricmanifesto.org/

"We have uncovered a root cause of the messy state of Information Architecture in large institutions and on the web today.

It is the prevailing application-centric mindset that gives applications priority over data.

The remedy is to flip this on its head.

**Data is the center of the universe; applications are ephemeral.**"

What a great example for "lossy" archival master decisions:

My screenshot of the original web-publication was considered "HIGH-QUALITY LARGE MPEG" (9.4 MB)

Found out they've re-uploaded a better-lossy archival copy:

Currently setting up a new medium-to-large scale #ZFS on #Linux long-term #archive storage server, all #FOSS:

Same configuration and software-components **stable and working since at least 10 years**.

- On any hardware running Linux.
- Scaling from a few-to-hundreds of TBs.

Anyone else interested?

Getting into mirroring #Artefactual #AtoM between in-house catalog and on-line website, I found this:

https://github.com/artefactual-labs/ansible-atom-replication

"AtoM replication can be used to manage a 2-site AtoM deployment model - one public-facing read only site for public users, with content replicated from an internal read/write edit site for staff, which can be kept behind a firewall."

Proposed this lightning talk for #NoTimeToWait9:

-------------------------------
Long-Term LTO: Stable LTO for "generations"?

What if we could get out of the #LTO-Generations update-race?
[...]
In this short talk, I'll present on how we might actually be able to get proper "Long-Term LTO" support for certain LTO-generations.

Very interesting. It confirms my observations and research on #AHAlodeck:

It's time we allow ourselves to do-digital-data differently. #GLAM #DLTP #Archiving

Me engaging on #Smbd ("Samba") mailing lists about support for "larger" (eg 64kB) key/value attributes on filesystem level (#xattrs):

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2025-February/139325.html

Good news! 🥳

> "in 2021 we added smbd max xattr size with a default of 64KB."
