Wikiwix Uberise Facebook

Filed under: Non classé — Pascal Martin @ 17:48

Bonjour à tous,

Je ne vous cache pas mon impatience de dévoiler notre moteur de recherche sur les contenus de Facebook.

A ce jours, il a indexé plus de 30 000 000 de publications qui proviennent de 1 000 000 de groupes public.
Nous découvrons environ plus de 15000 nouveaux groupes par jours.

Je ne vous cache que nous avons du mal à suivre les flux de données qui nous arrivent quotidiennement, en effet nous avons été obligé de réécrire nos crawleurs, et du coup nos indexes ont un peu de mal à suivre, mais des pistes d’améliorations sont en phase d’être trouvé.

Ce moteur de recherche est accessible en se rendant en haut à droite ( http://wikiwix.com ) et en cliquant sur Facebook ( http://wikiwix.com/fb/ ), notre IHM n’est pas optimal je suis preneur de quelques conseils.

Pour l’instant il est possible de chercher les publications de plus de 300 000 000 de personnes, en commençant la recherche par @Nomdelapersonnechercher, ou de sélectionner à l’aide de l’autocompléteur une sélection de groupes afin d’effectuer des recherches au sein de ces groupes, ou de chercher autour d’une ville.

Nous allons dans les prochains jours proposer de nouveaux formats de visualisation des données issue de Facebook.

Je signale que ce moteur de recherche se base uniquement sur l’API de Facebook.

Je remercie le CRIANN qui héberge l’ensemble de nos technologies de moteur de recherche depuis des années.

Amicalement,
Pascal

Un délit de démocratie sur Wikipedia

Filed under: wikiwix — Pascal Martin @ 4:30

Lorsque la Fondation Wikimedia qui fait confiance à Internet Archive et consulte qu’une partie de la communauté aux risques de devenir editrice du contenu de Wikipedia avec un service énergivore.

Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, Internet Archive est une Fondation à but non lucratif de 200 salariés consacrée à l’archivage du Web créé en 1996, qui fait partie des 500 sites les plus vus sur la toile.
Pour ceux qui connaissent, il paraît évident que le cadre légal de l’archivage du web mondial est respecté par Internet Archive, car c’est le référent en la matière.
Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, le cadre légal repose sur un bout de code html placé sur les pages ou dans le fichier robots.txt. Ce bout de code est assez significatif puisqu’il s’agit du noarchive.
Pour ceux qui connaissent, les éditeurs des sites ont donc un moyen technique simple et efficace afin de protéger leurs droits d’auteurs même d’une copie temporaire.

Maintenant par trois exemples je vais vous démontrer qu’Internet Archive ne respecte pas la directive noarchive.
Le premier l’archivage du site de Sudouest, mais d’autres quotidiens nationaux sont impactés leFigaro, Nouvel Observateur ( … ) :
Article Donald Trump du nouvel observateur dont le source de l’article contient la balise noarchive ( CTRL U et CTRL F « noarchive » )
Il y a 311932 urls d’archivés pour SudOuest.
Le second est l’archivage du site de Lemonde :
– soit en faisant un framesur un site extérieur qui renvoie vers un article du monde,
– soit en utilisant un raccourcisseur d’url,
A ce moment-là vous obtiendrez une copie de la une du Monde, qui vous permettra de surfer sur l’ensemble du site du Monde qui sera enregistré temporairement, les robots d’Internet Archive viennent chercher l’information du site et les efface a posteriori.
J’invite donc toute la presse qui utilise la balise noarchive à contrôler les archives présentes sur archive.org et à estimer le manque à gagner car leurs archives sont en libre disposition dans toutes les universités américaines.
Le troixième est l’archivage de Facebook, par exclusion dans le fichier robots.txt du robots de Internet Archive, un exemple de sauvegarde du contenu au sujet de Denis Robert :
Je vous invite à titre particulier à vérifier si vos données publiques ne sont pas sauvegardées également.
Et pourtant depuis 2005 Internet Archive prétend qu’il respecte la meta donnée noarchive

Maintenant revenons à nos moutons, en effet le projet de remplacement des liens morts par un lien vers le système d’archive.org va changer irrémédiablement le contenu de l’encyclopédie :

Le souhait numéro 1 de la « communauté Wikipedia », alors qu’historiquement chaque communauté locale devrait être consulté avant une prise de décision, qui a acté à partir de 111 votants pour l’ensemble de toutes les langues est devenu un projet de la Fondation Wikimedia puisque Danny Horn est salarié de la Fondation Wikimedia et agit en tant que chef de projet de cette migration :
Danny Horn salarié de la Wikimedia Fondation
projet gérer par la Wikimedia Fondation

A ce titre-là, la Fondation n’est plus hébergeur du site de Wikipedia puisque remplacer des liens par d’autres liens est un acte d’édition. La Fondation Wikimedia devient donc éditrice par le biais du déploiement Cyberbot II sur l’ensemble des projets de la Fondation Wikimedia à hauteur de plusieurs centaines millions de liens.

Je me suis entretenu avec Danny qui en aucun cas n’a tenu compte de mes remarques, et je lui ai expliqué également de la difficulté de détecter un lien mort.
Le remplacement par la note 12 en est un parfait exemple, le Cybert_Bot_II a remplacé un lien par une archive alors que le site de BloomBerg donne toujours la même information :

Pour éviter de cataloguer les liens trops vite comme liens morts, il faut aller voir plusieurs fois les urls avant leur remplacement.

En outre cette solution, qui n’est pas la panacée, va donc devenir de plus en plus énergivore : en effet pour savoir si un lien est mort il est nécessaire d’y accéder de façon automatique mais au vu de la quantité de liens à surveiller je suis surpris qu’un tel service voit le jours car il sera payé par les dons.

Cela fait que c’est un projet excessivement polluant pour un rendu qui apporte moins que la solution que nous maintenons depuis 2009 pour la communauté Wikipedia Francophone hébergé en France à Saint Etienne du Rouvray.
En effet, les articles de Wikipedia Francophone restent inchangés tout en permettant un accès à toutes sources qui peuvent être modifié à postériori sans générer de liens morts. Un lien archive doit être positionné sur chacune des sources pour vérifier l’information en cas de changement de contenu de cette dernière.
Quant aux détracteurs de notre solution, sachez qu’en aucun cas nous n’avons perdu de la donnée depuis que nous nous sommes lancés dans ce projet. En effet, notre système repose sur un archivage du contenu de liens en temps réel dès qu’ils apparaissent sur Wikipedia ( pour justement pérenniser le travail de sourcing de la communauté ). La perte de la synchronisation est due généralement à un manque de communication entre la Fondation et Linterweb lors de correctif qui impact ce processus.

J’ai expliqué aux membres du projet que Linterweb était prête à partager sa technologie avec Internet Archive afin d’une part de ne pas augmenter le coût énergétique et d’autre part sur la captation des urls en temps réel.
Je n’ai pour l’instant eu aucun retour de leurs parts au sujet de ma proposition.
Evidement que notre solution est beaucoup moins laxiste concernant les normes d’archivages en vigueur et que notre solution est prête à être déployée pour d’autres langues avec l’aval des différentes communautés comme cela a été le cas pour le francophone et le hongrois.
L’expertise dans le domaine de l’archivage acquise par Linterweb, nous permet également d’affirmer qu’Internet Archive n’est pas le seul à outrepasser la bienséance nécessaire à ce type de projets.
Est-ce que la Fondation Wikimedia a pour rôle de détecter l’ensemble des sites qui ne fonctionnent plus, et qui résout partiellement le problème du sourcing des articles, je ne pense pas, c’est plus le rôle d’un moteur de recherche :

Pour contrer ce déploiement vous pouvez manifester votre mécontentement :
sur la page du projet
sur la demande du déploiement sur Wikipedia francophone
Mais dans ce monde-là, on accorde bien plus de crédits à une fondation de droit américains qui viole les droits du producteur de données ( cf : http://www.lemonde.fr/robots.txt ) et qui gagne de l’argent en revendant les archives qu’à une petite société française qui ne gagne pas d’argent sur les archives.

Natural Health, Herbal & Vitamin Supplements

Filed under: liens externes de wikipedia — Pascal Martin @ 0:51

Good Health is home to a variety of health supplements, herbal remedies, and vitamin supplements to support your health and wellbeing. Whether you’re looking for something to give you the zest for life or you desire a better night’s sleep, you can find the product to suit your needs here, also make sure to learn what is biotin and which healthy benefits does it provide.

Good Health has your wellbeing and vitality at heart, and all of its 350 products are GE free and from sustainable resources. You can rest assured that many ingredients are also sourced from New Zealand farms and growers, as well as accredited international manufacturers.

From skin to sleep, weight management to women’s health, we’ve got the vitamin or health supplement to aid you on the path to premium health.

You probably recognize the importance of a healthy and well-balanced diet. But it isn’t always easy to buy and prepare fresh and healthy meals every day. Plus, everyone has different micronutrient needs based on gender, physical activity, eating habits, age, state of health, and medication.

Nutritional supplements enhance your regular diet to ensure a healthy supply of nutrients. They contain vitamins and minerals that help you feel better, look better, and even sleep better.

Nutritional imbalances can cause symptoms you didn’t even realize were because of a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

At Balance Hormone Center in Norman, Oklahoma, Gordon Hart, PA-C, and our specialized wellness team offer clinical-grade nutritional supplements, so you can start feeling your best.

Do I have a nutritional deficiency?

A nutrient deficit can have serious health consequences, affecting your daily life and overall well-being. Some signs of a nutritional imbalance include:

  • Trouble sleeping
  • Muscle weakness
  • Dry or brittle hair
  • Dry skin
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Slow-healing wounds
  • Digestive problems

If you have a busy, chaotic life, you probably wish you could get more sleep, stay more hydrated, or eat your daily quota of fruits and veggies. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the time or energy to keep track of proper nutrition every day.

We understand the struggle to maintain health, so we offer nutritional supplements to help.

Reasons for taking nutritional supplements

No matter how healthy and balanced your diet is, you could experience nutritional deficiency. Supplements help you get all the nutrients you need, from vitamin A to zinc.

Close nutritional gaps

Eating proper amounts of essential vitamins and minerals plays a role in the long-term health of your immune system, bones, joints, and heart. According to one study, at least 31% of Americans are deficient in at least one vitamin.

Nutritional supplements close any dietary gaps to maintain or enhance the nutrient density in your body.

Regulate nutrient absorption

Malabsorption occurs when your body doesn’t take in enough nutrients from your food. For example, patients with lactose intolerance, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or cystic fibrosis have a more challenging time absorbing all the vitamins and minerals required for overall health.

Taking antibiotics or using laxatives for a prolonged period can also result in nutrient malabsorption. Nutritional supplements prevent the loss of essential vitamins and minerals.

Avoid costly health problems

At Balance Hormone Center, we specialize in treating nutritional imbalances to prevent future health problems. We use a holistic approach to create the best treatment plan for you, helping you avoid costly or dangerous health conditions.

A weekly intravenous (IV) therapy session quickly boosts your nutrient levels without requiring digestion. Vitamins and minerals administered through IV therapy can resolve symptoms rapidly because they’re absorbed directly into your bloodstream.

You may also need over-the-counter clinical-grade dietary supplements. We can help you choose nutritional supplements tailored to your specific needs.

Make an appointment with us at Balance Hormone Center to learn more about nutritional vitamins and supplements. Book online or over the phone today.

Wikiwix attend Facebook pour déployer ses technologies de moteur de recherches et d’archivages

Filed under: liens externes de wikipedia,wikiwix — Pascal Martin @ 18:17

Bonjour à tous,

Comme vous vous êtes aperçus ces deux dernières années de Recherche et Développement nous ont amené à travailler sur les contenus de Facebook.
Nous sommes donc en mesure de proposer un moteur de recherche spécifique sur les contenus de Facebook.

Il va de soi que le but n’étant pas de faire un moteur de recherche sur l’intégralité des contenus de Facebook, mais un moteur de recherche à l’échelle des moyens que possèdent Linterweb.

Après une dizaine de jours, nous attendons toujours l’autorisation de Facebook pour l’entrée nécessaire à nos robots dans le fichier robots.txt de Facebook.

En effet, il faut savoir que Facebook fait référence au moteur de recherche comme Google, Bing , en stipulant que : « le contenu public peut apparaître quand quelqu’un procède à une recherche sur Facebook ou un autre moteur de recherche », mais il est bien entendu nécessaire d’avoir l’aval de Facebook.

Normalement, il s’agit d’une simple formalité car Wikiwix est moteur de recherche, au même titre que ceux autoriser par Facebook dans le robots.txt, sur les contenus :
Wikipedia :
et sur toutes les catégories du Dmoz

La technologie que nous avons revisité est celle qui nous a primé au 1 Carrefour des possibles à savoir un moteur de recherche communautaire

et que nous avons expérimenté très tôt sur twitter.

Je ne préfère pas argumenter sur le rôle d’archiveur de datas que nous opérons sur les contenus sources de Wikipedia, car à l’heure actuelle Internet Archive est le seul à avoir le droit de pouvoir se déployer au regard du fichier robots.txt.

Sans cette autorisation officielle, nous ne pouvons pas valoriser notre recherche à venir dans le cadre du Crédit Impôt Innovation, car nous sommes propriétaires d’une solution qui commercialement ne peut pas être exploitée sans autorisation.

J’ai donc contacté Facebook France et ils m’ont renvoyé vers le centre d’aide communautaire afin d’avoir le soutien de la communauté Facebook pour avoir une réponse à mes questions :

Linterweb travaille sur ces deux technologies de puis une bonne dizaine d’années, la demande est donc légitime, car c’est indéniable Linterweb a une technologie de moteur de recherche, et d’archivage de datas au même titre que les grands noms du domaine.

« Lorsque vous publiez sur un forum ouvert sur Facebook (par exemple, sur des Pages, dans des groupes publics ou dans la section Forum communautaire des pages d’aide), les publications peuvent apparaître dans les résultats de moteurs de recherche tels que Yahoo et Google. »

What is defensive driving, and why do you need it?

Filed under: actualité — Pascal Martin @ 19:00

So you’re an experienced driver. You’ve driven in the snow, on the highway, at night – defensive driving is second nature to you. But if you can’t teach defensive driving to your children or grandchildren, they’ll never be able to have the same level of knowledge and experience when it comes time for them to take their license exam. And so defensive driving should always be taught from a young age – because drivers are more likely to engage in safe practices if they learn defensive driving early on!

What is defensive driving, and why do you need it?

Defensive driving is a practice that has been around for decades, and it really helps to keep the roads safer. It’s basically defensive practices like:

  • Giving yourself and other drivers time to react.
  • Knowing when you should slow down or break.
  • Always have your eyes on the road, even if you’re just sitting in traffic.

Defensive driving isn’t just about what happens while you are actually moving with your car. You need defensive driving skills because things can happen quickly! For example, have you ever found yourself behind someone who was using their phone? Have they slowed down without warning? Are they swerving all over the lanes? If so, then this driver needs defensive driving techniques. Defensive driving will help them avoid accidents by staying alert and making decisions quickly. This is clearly the best Florida traffic school course.

Defensive driving isn’t just about avoiding accidents and speeding tickets – defensive drivers are also more likely to show patience on the road! If the accident happens, you should search for car accident lawyers for immediate help. Defensive driving is a hard habit to break, so we should teach our kids from a young age that it’s important for everyone’s safety when they get behind the wheel of their car.

How to practice defensive driving

If the defensive driving habits are already ingrained in your brain, then you’ll be fine. But if defensive driving isn’t natural for you yet, there are some simple ways to practice defensive techniques! For example:

  • Slow down when approaching intersections.
  • Do not speed up until after they’ve passed through them completely. You don’t want to risk an accident or getting a speeding ticket because of impatience.
  • Put your phone away!
  • By practicing defensive driving yourself, you can teach others how it’s done too!
  • Be patient with other drivers on the road

Remember that everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and being defensive will help keep both of you safe even if someone else does something wrong. Defensive driving is about more than just protecting yourself – defensive driving is about keeping the people around you safe too.

Defensive driving isn’t just a one-and-done kind of thing. You may have been a defensive driver when you first started out, but with time, it’s easy to forget how important defensive techniques are during your daily commute! Teach them early on, so they can practice their skills for years to come.

The importance of being a defensive driver

If defensive driving isn’t taught and practiced early on, then there are some very real consequences. Things like speeding tickets can add up quickly – not to mention the risk of getting in an accident when you have no defensive driving skills under your belt!

In 2014, around 35% of car accidents were due to distracted driving. That means that every time someone is using their phone while they’re behind the wheel, there’s a chance they could cause a serious crash. And with social media being so prevalent these days, it’s easy for people to get wrapped up in what everyone else is doing without thinking about how important it is to stay safe on the road! If defensive driving isn’t enough… well… let’s just say defensive driving isn’t enough.

In 2015 alone, speeding contributed to more than a third of all fatal car accidents in the United States!

It’s not just other drivers you have to worry about – defensive driving is key if you want to avoid getting hit by another driver who doesn’t know what they’re doing behind the wheel. Making defensive decisions and thinking quickly can keep both your passengers and yourself safe even when conditions aren’t ideal for driving.

Defensive driving is truly one of those things that everyone should practice whether or not we’ve had an accident before – it might be something as simple as slowing down when approaching red lights so someone else doesn’t try to make a turn without stopping, like what happened last week…

Why you should always be on the lookout for potential hazards

Defensive driving isn’t just about defensive techniques – it’s also a mindset. Being aware of your surroundings is as important on the road as defensive driving itself. Not only does being defensive help keep you safe, but it can save other people on the road who might not have been able to react in time!

When you’re behind the wheel, always be prepared for potential hazards that could appear at any moment and cause an accident or worse yet… get someone killed! Things like reckless drivers speeding through intersections without stopping are hazardous enough when there aren’t innocent bystanders nearby. But if defensive driving doesn’t happen fast enough, then these kinds of accidents become deadly situations very quickly because they often lead to head-on collisions where no one comes out the other side unscathed.

 Easy Ways to Improve Your Employee Experience Strategy

Filed under: actualité — Matthieu @ 13:16

The term employee experience has a broad meaning, encompassing all interactions an employee has with an employer. It’s also one of the most valuable investments that you, as a manager, can make.

A strong employee experience strategy, like any other business initiative, is designed to improve an organization’s overall performance.

Having a good employee experience is crucial for enjoying your job and finding a healthy work-life balance. When you are satisfied at work, you are more likely to come home with a positive mindset, allowing you to be fully present for your family and kids. Surprising them with details like classic childrens clothes can create a cozy and comfortable environment, enhancing the quality time you spend together.

So, how can you improve the employee experience? Here’s a list of 10 easy strategies:

 

1. Deliver Excellent Communication

The key to improving relationships with your employees is the same as in any other relationship – communication.

Most HR leaders and business professionals agree that communication is important, but they ultimately spend more time communicating with the media, with stakeholders and with their target audience than with their own employees.

To improve communication, make sure you’re offering a conversation platform, like LumApps, that’s more than just email. Use communication tools to share good news and bad news, to celebrate major accomplishments in your employees’ professional and personal lives, and to clearly identify your purpose and values.

2. Respond to Feedback

The best way to know what your employees need from you is to ask them, and then to listen when they respond.

Today, many tools are available to help capture continuous employee feedback, like pulse survey tools, open survey tools, and performance management tools. Using them freely and frequently will allow you to understand what employees like about your organization while also learning what employees still feel they’re missing.

To receive honest feedback, however, it’s vital that a culture of respect and open communication already exists in the organization. If your employees feel neglected or disrespected in regular, day-to-day communication, they’re not likely to take the time to communicate honestly with you.

3. Focus on Employees

This strategy might sound like a no-brainer, but it’s important to focus on employee experience at every step of the employee life cycle. From onboarding to departure, view each interaction as an opportunity to create a positive employee experience.

For example, viewing employee experience through the lens of the entire employee life cycle can lead to questions like:

  • Does our hiring process feel fair?
  • Do new hires experience our values during onboarding?
  • Do employees feel they are growing and developing with us?
  • How do people feel about their time with us when they leave?

The answers to these questions will allow you to see your entire work environment from an employee’s perspective and may show where there’s room for improvement.

4. Promote Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)

A study made by Russell and Reynolds Associates in 2017 found that the presence of a diverse workforce directly improved human capital outcomes, including:

  • decreased intent to leave
  • increased employee engagement
  • increased creativity
  • greater employee belonging

The same study found even greater improvements among organizations with established D&I strategies, as well as those with leaders committed to implementing those strategies. To make sure your workforce stays diverse and experiences the many benefits that come with diversity, develop and implement a D&I strategy that focuses on talent attraction, development, and retention.

Additionally, promote diversity and show your employees you support them by ensuring your tools and systems support multiple languages.

5. Provide Meaningful Work

According to a study by Deloitte, the ideal organization will provide its employees with meaningful work by:

  • Encouraging autonomy: Empower your employees by allowing them to shape their work environment in ways that help them perform at their best. Hire autonomous people, don’t overreact when mistakes are made and give your employees the tools they need to reach their goals.
  • Creating small, independent teams: Be open to new ideas, recognize and encourage your employees regularly, and give team members the authority to make decisions. If you’re afraid to give employees that kind of authority, consider giving them the training they need to make wise business decisions autonomously.

6. Make Management Supportive

Great managers make employees feel supported during day-to-day operations. For example, they set clear and transparent goals for teams and for the organization so that no one is left in the dark when big-picture decisions are made.

Great managers also provide coaching for employees by giving frequent feedback, encouraging employees to learn from others, building their confidence and sincerely asking how they can help the employee achieve their goals.

However, great managers are made, not born. Without investing in manager development, your organization may find itself lacking the leadership it needs to improve the employee experience.

7. Create a Positive Work Environment

A positive work environment is the result of a combination of factors, like:

  1. flexibility
  2. inclusivity
  3. diversity

A flexible work environment allows employees to work in their preferred environment at their preferred hours. Allowing job flexibility has been proven to increase productivity, health and job satisfaction while decreasing stress, costs, and absenteeism.

Additionally, it’s important to promote diversity and inclusivity by watching employees interact, then by recognizing and rewarding inclusive behaviors. Providing unconscious-bias training to all managers and taking measures to mitigate hostile interactions in the workplace are equally beneficial steps.

Finally, a culture of recognition is a great way to make employees feel valued while motivating others to achieve similar success. Creating peer-to-peer awards, asking employees to write featured blog posts on the organization’s website or even sharing their success on corporate social media channels, are excellent ways to showcase employees’ accomplishments.

8. Offer Growth Opportunities

Research by DecisionWise found that only 43% of employees feel that their employers offer good opportunities for growth and development. This is an alarming statistic since findings also suggest that high-performing employees will only remain in jobs that challenge them and provide meaning.

Les archives Wikiwix des liens externes reviennent !

Filed under: liens externes de wikipedia — Matthieu @ 15:08

Interrompu depuis quelque temps déjà, le service d’archivage automatique des liens externes de Wikipedia placés dans les notes de bas de page, à la semblance du beau phœnix, renaît de ses cendres !

 

Comme vous le savez, depuis plusieurs années, suite à cette prise de décision : Wikipédia:Prise_de_décision/Système_de_cache, nous (enfin, Linterweb, quoi ! ) archivons  les liens externes apparaissant dans les notes de bas de page des articles de Wikipédia. Ceci afin que ces pages extérieures à Wikipédia restent accessibles telles qu’elles étaient lors de leur insertion dans l’article, même en cas de modification ultérieure ou de suppression de la page externe.

 

Mit roten Kreisen eingekreist, von Linterweb archivierte externe Weblinks

Mit roten Kreisen eingekreist, von Linterweb archivierte externe Weblinks

 

Par exemple, prenons l’article sur la commune de Faux, en Dordogne. Dans la section Liens externes, vous voyez un lien vers la page de Faux sur le site de l’Institut géographique national. Malheureusement, cette page n’est plus accessible : le lien http://www.ign.fr/affiche_rubrique.asp?rbr_id=1087%26CommuneId=25179 mène vers une belle Erreur 404 : la page n’a pu être trouvée… 🙁

IGN Faux page manquante

 

 

Pour remédier à ce problème, Linterweb sauvegarde sur ses serveurs ce genre de liens externes. Pour notre exemple, la page manquante de l’IGN peut ainsi être retrouvée sur nos serveurs : http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/?url=http://www.ign.fr/affiche_rubrique.asp?rbr_id=1087%26CommuneId=25179.

 

IGN Faux Cache Wikiwix

 

La page est telle qu’elle était lorsqu’elle a été archivée. La page est manquante sur les serveurs de l’IGN mais toujours consultable sur les nôtres.

 

Depuis quelques semaines, les disques durs dédiés à l’archivage des pages étaient arrivés à saturation, et nous avions été obligés d’interrompre le service. De 2,7 teraoctets, leur capacité a été augmentée à 11 teraoctets, ce qui devrait nous permettre d’être désormais tranquilles pour plusieurs années.

 

Nous remettons donc en route le service d’archivage automatique. Mais armez-vous de patience : il faudra au minimum plusieurs semaines avant que le service soit à nouveau pleinement opérationnel.

 

Les liens externes non archivés pendant l’interruption de service seront récupérés à partir des fichiers de sauvegarde de Wikipédia, afin qu’aucune page ne soit perdue.

 

Ce projet est intégralement financé par Linterweb, une société néo bretonne de trois salariés, et intégralement hébergé en Haute-Normandie, au Crihan.

 

Ce service nous paraît vraiment extrêmement utile : dans les articles, beaucoup de références comportent un ou plusieurs liens externes, qui permettent de sourcer, de vérifier, les affirmations énoncées dans l’article. Cette exigence de sourçage est un point clé de la crédibilité des articles. Maintenant, il suffit que la page externe servant de source soit modifiée ou supprimée, et la vérification est rendue de fait beaucoup moins évidente, voire impossible, pouvant alors remettre en cause toute la crédibilité de l’article, surtout si surviennent des conflits entre utilisateurs à propos de la véracité d’une affirmation donnée. Pour éviter la perte de cette information que constituent les liens externes, pour s’assurer que la crédibilité de l’article demeurera dans le temps, pour éviter nombre de conflits, le système d’archivage proposé par Linterweb est une nécessité.

 

Cette année nous avons prévu de passer quelques semaines à l’amélioration de ce service. Merci de nous faire part de vos suggestions d’améliorations ici : Utilisateur:Pmartin/Cache_v2.

 

En espérant que vous apprécierez l’utilité de ce service, cordialement 🙂 Matthieu.

Linterweb est une société d’informatique qui, depuis maintenant plusieurs années, développe un certain nombre de produits, dont la plupart sont liés de plus ou moins près à Wikipédia. Entre autres :

  • Wikiwix, un moteur de recherche sémantique qui restreint ses résultats aux articles des divers projets de la Fondation Wikimédia ;
  • Okawix, le navigateur Wikipédia hors-ligne libre et gratuit qui permet de lire en mode déconnecté les articles des projets de la Fondation Wikimédia, aussi bien que des archives de votre propre site web ;
  • un programme d’archivage des pages web externes à la Wikipédia (c’est-à-dire, les pages web qui ne font pas partie de Wikipédia, mais auxquelles mènent des liens placés dans les articles de la Wikipédia, dits liens externes), afin que ces pages web externes restent consultables, et que les liens externes ne donnent pas des liens brisés ; ce programme est utilisé, en particulier, pour tous les liens externes des projets Wikimédia francophones, ou encore sur les Wikipédias roumanophone et magyarophone ;
  • allingroups autoposteur Facebook, un service permettant de publier automatiquement des messages sur tout ou partie des groupes Facebook auxquels vous êtes abonné (auto-posteur Facebook) ;

Xulrunner (firefox) plus dans les dépots d’ubuntu

Filed under: wikiwix — Pascal Martin @ 19:45

Bonjour,

Nous réalisons actuellement une check list afin de porter tout ou partie de notre développement en opensource, et quelle surprise Xulrunner ne fait plus partie du dépot d’ubuntu.
C’est à dire que dès qu’une mise à jours du système d’exploitation s’effectue, elle désinstalle le xulrunner ne permettant plus d’exécuter Okawix.

Il semblerait que ce soit le fait de mise à jour de Firefox trop fréquentes qui ne permettent pas de maintenir le paquet XulRunner à jours.

http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Removing-XULRunner-from-oneiric-call-for-help-td708630.html
http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/353326

Je me demande bien comment vont faire les applications pour pouvoir continuer à fonctionner sur Xulrunner, on va comme même pas interdire aux gens de mettre à jour leurs OS ou leur dire qu’il faut réinstaller manuellement le paquet après une mise à jour.

D’un autre côté je suis surpris également de ne pas trouver de communiqué de la Fondation Firefox à ce sujet.

Cordialement

E-CIGARETTES VS. VAPES: THE HEALTH BENEFITS AND RISKS

Filed under: actualité — Pascal Martin @ 2:39
Vaping and smoking

E-cigarettes, or electronic cigarettes, are devices that resemble regular cigarettes. They typically consist of a one-piece unit you utilize until it runs out and discards.

Meanwhile, vape pens are trendy gadgets with a rechargeable battery and a refillable tank. Vaping is the act of breathing an aerosol comprising multiple substances, usually nicotine and flavouring, through a vaping mod or an e-cigarette in the United Kingdom. Vaping is growing more popular among teenagers. Check out the best weed container.

Which is Safer, an E-cigarette or a Vape?

Both smoking and vaping are harmful to your health. According to the findings, smoke appears to be more harmful than vaping. However, this statement is not to argue that vaping is risk-free.

Second-hand smoke contains over 7,000 reliable chemical sources. Unfortunately, hundreds of these substances are toxic, and approximately 70 of them cause cancer.

Vaping

Vapers can buy through e-cig shops online in the UK with store precautions and health benefits, which are why people who vape are at risk.

Vape can contain high levels of nicotine, a substance known to slow brain development in foetuses, children, and teenagers.

Adults and children are at risk if they swallow, inhale, or get nicotine on their skin from vape juices that produce vapour.

Vaping also exposes users to hazardous chemicals such as diacetyl, carcinogenic toxins, toxic substances, and volatile organic substances.

Smoking

Unlike vaping, there is extensive research to back up claims that smoking is harmful to human health. Smoking, according to the CDCTrusted Source, has the following facts:

  • Smoking can damage every organ of the body.
  • More than 480,000 people die in the United States each year.
  • There are 90% lung cancer fatalities.

Vaping and smoking have similar adverse effects on the body, such as lung damage and increased risk of cancer.

Research shows more about smoking’s long-term effects than vaping’s. However, vaping products contain far fewer toxic substances than cigarettes and may be an effective tool in helping people quit smoking altogether.

While vaping reduces the quantity of tar and other toxins breathed, it can also increase a person’s nicotine addiction.
