I had the honour to be invited by @ZFAVClub to participate in an online live workshop exploring the mighty and wonderful CLI tool of the @internetarchive, in collaboration with @dweb 💕

If you are interested in data preservation and digital commons, please do watch it, as we did our best to shed some light on the most powerful yet little known features of this software.

The #InternetArchive is an invaluable resource for unlimited, public, open, and free storage for the whole Universe. It seems too good to be true, but it is!

We also touched upon the value of #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #decentralization, and #publicDomain.

Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?

Not curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And no, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)

The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.

Join a hands-on workshop where we’ll demystify the CLI and turn it into your super power for archiving, accessing, and uploading content to the @internetarchive.

Hosted by the ZkAv Club Foundry, with the participation of @tommi, we’ll learn and share our experience using the awesome ia #CLI tool!
