The english REAPER Accessibility Dropbox folder has finally been replaced by a self-hosted solution that no longer eats up your Dropbox resources and doesn't require an invitation. Its just open for everyone! It has taken us about a year of tinkering to get it into a stable condition, but as of this day, the REAPER Dropbox is out of order. You can find The Hoard under hoard.reaperaccessibility.com/ now, with optional WebDAV support under webdav.hoard.reaperaccessibili…. Make yourself at home everyone.

Yay! Does that mean that every second post on the RWP list will no longer be a "add me to the Dropbox folder" request? :) But seriously, this is awesome. Thanks for all of the work that went into this.
Also, HFS looks like a very cool and accessible piece of software. I've never seen it before.
Finally, the instructions mention that Windows File Explorer WebDav access is super buggy. Out of interest, what were the problems? I haven't tried it much, but was eventually able to access it with this path: \\webdav.hoard.reaperaccessibility.com@ssl\DavWWWRoot

@jcsteh The Windows WebDAV implementation just can't do permissions right. It works if you're allowed to do all you want on the server, but as soon as you are forbidden to do certain things (especially delete files/folders), it'll hang up if you try to do so and even crash the entire network mount in the process. The only way to fix it is to actualy remove and reconnect, at least as far as we tried.

@jcsteh Its kinda fine for admins yeah, although it sometimes gets hickups with the Windows-only locking mechanism as it seems, but it generally works quite okay-ish. Yeah for users who just download stuff it works fine, uploading works too as long as you only upload to the Uploads folder, if you try something else (which you aren't permitted to do as a normal user) you'll encounter similar issues like the ones I mentioned before.

Fair enough. I feel a bit "caveat emptor" about that - if a user tries to do something they're not supposed to do, they get to deal with the consequences - but I guess that's not a conversation you want to keep having with people, heh. I was just wondering whether it might be an easier alternative than WinSCP for most folks, since they can just hit enter on a shortcut and off they go without any additional software.

@jcsteh Yep, that is what we thought here too. In the end Scott decided to not advertise it in this way because we didn't want to dive into the "we're troubleshooting broken WebDAV connections every day on RWP" rabbithole. We still hope that the HFS only WebDAV implementation might actually be able to fix the MS errors server-side, as we're currently using a custom Nginx-based solution that is just bad to configure properly and pretty outdated. But HFS WebDAV isn't quite there yet.

@jcsteh Na its fine, I would have loved to offer them to connect it to Windows Explorer just like Mac people can mount it in Finder, and it basically works, people are using it already that way if they know about it, but this way we don't need to support it. Scott just decided against it. We'll test as soon as HFS builds its own WebDAV and maybe we'll be able to finally officially support it then.

@jcsteh fwiw ms is depricating WebDAV in windows 10 and 11, so it’s probably a good idea to push people toward alternative clients because it might eventually just stop working randomly learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind…

@jcsteh @pitermach Awesome. And here I thought MS would be able to at least support one file transfer protocol that isn't SMB within Explorer. I mean, they do support unencrypted FTP I guess, or at least they did at some point, but who wants to do unencrypted FTP nowadays? Too bad that most alternative mount solutions like Netdrive or Mountainduck are either inaccessible or paid.

@jscholes @jcsteh @pitermach We tried that one too before putting the Hoard out there, and found it to be to complicated as we couldn't find a way to basically makes it easy to use for everyone. We've got quite a few people on the list who can just do REAPER and don't work to much with a computer apart from that, setting it up on their own would be to complicated. Everyone more experienced can obviously use it anyway though.

Right. And if they had to go through the standard flow of installing it, putting it in their PATH, configuring a remote, and mounting it, I would agree. But we use it at work in scripts, taking advantage of its ability to work without any predefined setup or config file at all. So I'm just curious if there is some sort of packaged-up thing that could live in the folder; you download it, run it, done. Maybe there isn't, particularly if the mounting functionality requires a separate dependency (I don't remember). @jcsteh @pitermach

We should start naming Heatwaves.

Hearing about #HeatwaveExxon or #HeatwaveTexaco doesn't change the fact that many people will not live through it, but it is a reminder about who brought us here with their intentional decades long disinformation campaign.

They gave us this #SummerOfHeat for the sake of their profits. Blood is on their hands.

Governments need to stop subsidizing oil immediately.

This thread about sched_ext is pretty interesting to read if you've got the time:

lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wg8A…

TL;DR: Linux is adding in a new scheduler class which basically lets you plug in a BPF program at runtime to help make scheduling decisions.

It looks like mostly the big cloud companies will use this, but if we're lucky, maybe they'll release some useful code to everyone else.

I would straight-up drop having a webcrawler from the questions. Tons of engines have crawlers just for fetching result metadata like favicons. Some engines bootstrap their indexes from public data dumps like the Common Crawl, allowing them to index a site without crawling it (robots.txt doesn’t even apply here).

The best way to tell, IMO, is word-substitutions. Word substitutions can reveal whether unique results come from ranking adjustments or fully independent indexes; it is possible to make results look somewhat unique using only third-party indexes.


A look at search engines with their own indexes

A cursory review of all the non-metasearch, indexing search engines I have been able to find.
