[CODE4LIB] DevPost experiences?

[James Morley]

Hi

Is there anyone on the list who has experience of running hackathons through 
devpost.com, ideally as an organiser but equally as a participant? I'd like to 
get some feedback from someone with first-hand experience to see if it might be 
suitable for us.

Many thanks

James

Re: [CODE4LIB] Exactly: A New Tool for Digital File Acquisitions

[Bert Lyons]

Hi Rosemary --

Great question about size limits.  There are probably a couple of limiting
factors to contend with:

BagIt bags - not much limit short of file system issues (quantities of
files in directories) and processor limitations (how much other competition
does your computer have for processing the bag).

Zip - if you use the zip feature, this may also introduce limitations -
again probably with computer memory/processors (unrelated to the tool
itself).

FTP - this will be throttled by your internet connection most likely and
will be limited by your computer's ability to stay connected to the FTP
target (and the size of free space available at the FTP target).

Local copy - Exactly always creates a local copy of the bag - so there will
be concerns associated with free disk space at the designated local target.

We have tested successfully for packages of 30GB via FTP. We have tested
for 100GB packages locally.

We'd love to hear feedback from your experiences and an identification of
areas where we can improve functionality for size where needed.

There is a public github repo for the tool here:
https://github.com/avpreserve/uk-exactly/

I hope this was helpful.

Thanks, and best --

Bert

Re: [CODE4LIB] Let's Encrypt and EZProxy

[Andrew Anderson]

Eric,

Check out Startcom’s StartSSL service (https://www.startssl.com), for $120 you 
have the ability to generate 3-year wildcard certificates with their 
Organizational Validation level of service.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Let's Encrypt and EZProxy

[Louis St-Amour]

Just in case anyone was (like me) wondering how a wildcard certificate would 
work with multiple levels of subdomains, it turns out that EZproxy has custom 
support for SSL built-in and automatically converts 
example.org.ezproxy.example.org to use hyphens in the subdomains: 
example-org.ezproxy.example.org

[CODE4LIB] Let's Encrypt and EZProxy

A while back, the issue of needing a wildcard certificate (not supported by 
Lets Encrypt) for EZProxy was discussed.

In my discussions with publishers about switching to HTTPS, EZProxy

a complete switch to HTTPS for some HTTPS-ready  publishers. In two cases that 
I know of, a publisher which has been HTTPS-only was asked by a library 
customer to provide insecure service (oh the horror!) for this reason.

A further limit on certificates issued per week per domain would mean that up

I bought it from SS2BUY LLC. - 595 S Knott Ave Anaheim, CA, USA 92804. The cert 
is from Comodo.

I am not using it with EZProxy, but there is no reason that it wouldn’t work. 
There have been no issues with it.

I wrote a similar thing a number of years ago, and it was implemented as Alex 
Lite. [1] I started out with TEI files, and then transformed them into a number 
of derivatives: simple HTML, “cooler” HTML, PDF, and ePub. I think my ePub 
version was somewhere around 2.0. The “framework” was written in Perl, of
