#softwareheritage — Public Fediverse posts

I just submitted Family Size VM to Software Heritage, which collects and preserves public Git repositories. It hasn't seen every repository, especially on Codeberg and other smaller Git hosts. Check if your own project is crawled and save it if it isn't yet.

🤔 I’m not convinced that mirroring is “the Right Thing” here; it sounds to me as some “worse and holed is maybe better”.

Instead of mirrors for tackling the upstream troubles, it seems more elegant to have an archive that collects all the public code and then fallback to it when needed.

Guess what? #Guix does that using #SoftwareHeritage!

I wish people from #Codeberg and #Zenodo would collaborate to get the same clever integration features that allow people to preserve #GitHub releases at Zenodo. I bet people from the scientific community would like that. Is it too much to wish some big sciency inftrastructure group would fund this? ;-)

I'm going to archive stuff at Zenodo as I move out of GitHub.

Update - Tip from Ale Abdo: let's use #SoftwareHeritage !

RE: https://mstdn.social/@swheritage/116262543895709726

A very interesting exhibition! Using only a few examples, source code is celebrated not as a means to produce, but also as a means to create, and/or convey messages.
Perhaps my favourite panel is the one showcasing #wenyan. There is a specific mention that source code carries a lot of cultural elements and preconceptions, and in itself is biased, i.e., mostly written by white men. So, I'm glad that fundamentally different programming languages are mentioned.

EDIT: I failed to mention the exhibition is available online https://www.sourcecode-exhibition.softwareheritage.org/
