Hi format nerds! I'm getting interested in chemical formats encoding molecular structures. I looked at the CTFiles formats maintained by Biovia (https://discover.3ds.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/biovia_ctfileformats_2020.pdf).
The spec keeps mentioning "lines" / "blank lines", etc. But I couldn't find whether this should be CR, LF or CRLF. Does it implicitly mean that any of these is acceptable? Or did I miss something?

Hi #digipres folks!
I'm realizing that elaborating file format signatures can serve not only for identification but also for file carving (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_carving). As the purpose is not the same, the byte pattern will be different - file carvers will focus on header / footer. But still: has anyone tried to contribute to file carvers, based on file format research for format identification? Couldn't we put in common some of our work?

That's right! If you're in the Asia-Pacific timezone, @robinwright and I will be your co-hosts. If you're wondering what #DigiPres is all about, why not sign up and then tune in for an hour a day during #iPRES2026?

Pour illustrer mon précédent billet de blog, j'ai tenté de sauver un jeu vidéo ancien sur une vieille disquette toute pourrite. C'était très rigolo - et j'ai appris pas mal de choses (dont la différence entre des poissons migrateurs amphibiotiques et holobiotiques).

Et y a même une vidéo de moi qui sais pas streamer, avec une voix trop basse pour éviter de gêner le reste du monde. C'est-y pas beau ça ?

The stuff I've been working on recently is finally public! I've spent the past bit revamping the social media site support in Browsertrix. We can capture much more content from Facebook and Instagram now, and I've also fixed Youtube video capture.
In addition, we've added a new "smart scoping" feature that ensures we crawl more pages from social media profiles even if they wouldn't otherwise be in scope.

Rolled out a new update for the Data Dungeon site. This also includes some major layout changes; let me know if you spot any issues and I'll try to sort them as soon as I can.

Is there a chance that somebody at #Wikimania knows something about the recent loss of years of ahort links to #Wikidata queries on https://query-chest.toolforge.org/? The seeming flushing of all caches at some point earlier this month makes the service utterly useless and caused thousands of links in publications, on websites etc. to rot.
