Nous fêtons ce 24 mars, le 206ème anniversaire de la naissance d’Edmond
Becquerel, le découvreur français de l’effet photovoltaïque.

Aurait-il pu deviner qu'à travers le monde :
🔸plus d’un milliard de panneaux PV seraient fabriqués chaque année,
🔸près d’un habitant sur 1 000 travaillerait dans la filière PV,
🔸près de 1 800 MW PV seraient installés chaque jour.

Merci !

For nearly 30 years, journalists have relied on the Internet Archive to see how stories were originally published, before edits, removals, or changes. We need to safeguard that. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/blocking-internet-archive-wont-stop-ai-it-will-erase-webs-historical-record
Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record

Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s begun happening online in the last few months. The Internet Archive—the world’s largest digital library—has preserved newspapers since it went online in the mid-1990s....

@tripplehelix I understand your frustration. I do agree on a few points you have raised. The focus is now on improving things. Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

My latest frivolous #RetroComputing project: a #Kiwix ZIM reader for vintage web browsers.

If you're curious, it's on #CGHMN at http://kiwix.n8fq.retro

@tripplehelix Harsh but fair.
Still work in progress so we'll see about integrating some of that feedback. Thanks Thomas!

Just donated to @kiwix!

They do great work of making the download of various dictionaries and knowledgebases offline extremely easy!

This is essential for people in regions with bad internet, like a refugee camp.

I couldn't find any legal advice, which would be pretty important, apart from a general #StackExchange backup.

Spread the knowledge!

Avui la @viquipedia fa 25 anys. És un dels projectes on he posat més hores, convençut que l’accés a la informació és el millor camí cap a una societat més lliure, justa i competent. Una eina per defensar la llengua i la cultura parlant de tu a tu amb el món.

🌍Orgull de comunitat! #Viquipèdia25 🧩

Tired of Enshittification? Take your knowledge offline.

I am currently self hosting a @kiwix instance on my homelab. Having local, searchable copies of Wikipedia, the ArchWiki, and iFixit feels like a cheat code for digital sovereignty.

Spin up the Docker image, grab your ZIM files, and stop relying on big tech to keep the lights on for your reference data.
