Sci-Hub is a shadow library website that provides free access to millions of research papers and books, without regard to copyright,[3] by bypassing publishers' paywalls in various ways.[3][4][5] Sci-Hub was founded in Kazakhstan by Alexandra Elbakyan in 2011, in response to the high cost of research papers behind paywalls (see Serials crisis). The site is extensively used worldwide.[3][4] In September 2019, the site's owners said that it served approximately 400,000 requests per day.[6] Sci-Hub has been estimated to contain 95% of all scholarly publications with issued DOI numbers.[3] Sci-Hub reported on July 15, 2022, that its collection comprises 88,343,822 files. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub (more)

What would integration of draw.io (diagrams.net) with fedwiki be like? We have had some fun with AsciiFlow where the computer representation and the display representation are one in the same. This means the diagrams remain editable even as they are pasted as text. (more)

Structured Group Discussion system. In the 1980s, Horst Rittel developed the Issue-Based Information System, a hypertext environment for the structured discussion of design issues. This system uses a stringent classification scheme to organize the data. There are three node types (issues, positions, arguments) and nine link types (responds-to, questions, supports, objects-to, specializes, generalizes, refers-to, replaces). These elements are designed to be used in the analysis of "Wicked Problems." (more)

Visakan Veerasamy: practice good reply game. The important thing is not to speak your mind, but to “support” the OP. You can support them by disagreeing well & you can “mis-support” them by agreeing stupidly. (more)

Tailscale Inc. is a software company with a freemium business model based in Toronto, Canada. It was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Ontario. Tailscale provides an open-source software defined mesh virtual private network (mesh network VPN) software and a web-based management service.[a][1][2] The company provides a zero config mesh VPN service under the same name.... The open-source software acts in combination with the management service to establish peer-to-peer or relayed VPN communication with other clients using the Wireguard protocol. If the software fails to establish direct communication it falls back to using relays provided by the company. The IPv4 addresses given to clients are in the Carrier-grade NAT reserved space. This was chosen to avoid interference with existing networks. The configuration also allows routing of traffic to networks behind the client on some clients. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailscale https://tailscale.com/ (more)

Text Editor/IDE. LightTable is an integrated development environment for software engineering developed by Chris Granger and Robert Attorri. It features real-time feedback allowing instant execution, debugging and access to documentation.[5] The instant feedback provides an unusual execution environment intended to help developing abstractions.[6] The development team attempted to create a program which shows the programmer what the effects of their additions are in real-time, rather than requiring them to work out the effects as they write the code.[7] Though the program began by only supporting Clojure, it has since aimed to support Python and JavaScript due to their popularity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Table_(software) (more)
