hmm when there is a book in #Openlibrary (to add it to #bookwyrm) but I only find the english edition but not the german (which also has a different ISBN -- should I add it as a separate book?

DC間の光ファイバー切断でInternet Archiveの複数サイトがダウン、21日夕方にはほぼ復旧 「WaybackMachine」や「OpenLibrary」などに影響し、独自回線が切断されてしまった模様

障害が解消したようなので。

Internet Archiveが「光ファイバーの切断」が原因としており、サンフランシスコにあるIAのデータセンターの位置関係等から、本当に自前のファイバーがぶった切られたのではないか？みたいな話もしていますので、参考にしていただければ幸いです！

And I must say, I _am_ impressed with how fast NeoDB is - and how quickly it gets media information from other platforms. With BookWyrm, much of the time I had to […]

Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost “We survived, but it wiped out the library,” Internet Archive’s founder says.

The Internet Archive recently emerged from years of bruising copyright battles that threatened to bankrupt the project. In the end, the fight led to more than 500,000 books being removed from the Archive’s “Open Library.”

Are we living in a time when companies in the same field can cross collaborate for the better of the consumer? Seems so! Thank you @pioneerdjglobal.bsky.social & @algoriddim.bsky.social for #openlibrary this is huge! But Algoriddim needs better hardware and Alpha Theta needs better software...🤔💭🤝?

Yes, I linked the #OpenLibrary author to #Wikidata. openlibrary.org/authors/OL21...
