Active sites

In questa pagina terrò una lista dei siti attivi che gestisco. Sarà una pagina "orfana" perchè non deve essere raggiugingibile dalla wiki "seria".
2014-10-29 update: it is a bit a mess but better than nothing.

2015-03-28 update: the point, as I wrote somewhere else, it is mostly the same: we have our private resources, that often are not so reliable (during a not so short period of time). So we start to use online or 'cloud' resources to save part of our information. The reliability depends on the site, but the rule of thumb is: the more popular the site, the higher the reliability. In my case I 'subconsciously' observed that I used a lot of sites for different things (that sometimes turns out to be not so different) for several reasons. A drawback of this is that my mind started to lose the track of the sites. Hence this page. In the end it is quite good because it is also allowing the others to keep track of my public (or not) contributions online, I hope that everyone that contributes online will have a page like this, allowing the others to follow the progress. At the end contributions are a sort of a diary and diaries ar every important.

For sure I can say that I like the idea that out of complexity (keeping track contributions on several sites) a new solution emerged (a simple page like this) but it is also true that I wonder how many of my contributions I lost in the meantime :( .

Moreover I'm just trying to keep track of my contributions, image if I was a sort of follower of something trying to keep track of contributions of the others! It would have been endless with a lot of gaps!

2020-08-19: what I can say after years of experience an plantiful of dead sites (that one may notice too late because one's contribution are scattered). Try to keep your contribution centralized and under control if possible. Moreover have always a copy as the hoster can decide to take down your content. Lots of contributions of mine - and I wonder for how many other people - lost in this way. "Internet is forever". Internet or digital files may have an hard time to last 10 years, if the location is not robust and doesn't get maintenance. Scattering contributions on different platforms ensures that (a) one needs more effort to track those and backup those, (b) the contributions may disappear due to the platform going down or dropping old content, (c) one may forget about the platform altogether! It is really trying "hard" to lose contributions if you scatter them. Had I know before I would have tried to use the best platform I could identify within 2 years of trials and errors.

Recap: contributions all in one place or in few places; backups, backups, backups; print, paper is still plenty durable although less accesible and don't be scared to contribute to the internet in constructive/positive ways.

Happy wiki-ing and tracking of contributions to everyone!

Siti seri / Serious sites

  • gw-homelab.bln.pier4r.homeplex.org port 1087 self hosted, less reliable, simple web structure for publishing my writings (I may not update it for a while though)
  • Not active/Another gone place. Wikia Ho aperto una wiki così per provare. Wikia ha una policy molto restrittiva per chi vuole essere "restrittivo". Praticamente permette spazio illimitato ma tutto deve essere pubblico ed editabile, salvo che ci sia una discussione da parte della community della wiki che richieda al più l'editing solo per utenti registrati. Insomma, è utilissimo per creare progetti di gruppo, un pò meno per fare spazi personali.
    • Now I will use it for saving quick toughts, informations and so on. I don't like twitter, fb is too private, and I like to reuse the resources that i allocated somewhere.
      • Unfortunately wikia is full of scripts that eat up all the CPU (not a pentium III but something times powerful) and this is not acceptable if i just write plain text in "pre" tags. So for now i will put it on hold and i open another one on pbworks.
  • Onenote (not yet public, but pretty powerful) . Pierqr.aaaa -at- live.com

Personal sites usually used for less organized things, still valuable at times.

(I, damn me, forgot billions of them that can be somehow useful… and I still forget them, like stumbleupon or pocket added way later -years -than their first use)

  • Gone too. So many scattered contributions. Do not scatter, centralize and make backups argomentare.altervista (Utile anche per scrivere informazioni utili ma che sono temporanee, come un benchmark tra due motori di ricerca che magari il giorno dopo cambiano algoritmo)
  • (dead. Points for backups) pier40401 .
  • Gaming wiki-blog
  • FB account1 with PA , FB Account 2 with PA - microblogging "veloce" (l'interfaccia permette di postare in pochi click) per sfogo/aggiornamenti/altre cose davvero poco utili agli altri, poi periodicamente mi salvo gli status ed i commenti fatti da me stesso. It was nice to use FB as SSO but apparently websites don't allow it anymore, bummer, now it is again passwords everywhere.
  • Even google+ is gone, internet is not forever. Make Backups! Account g+ da dove ho linkato gli altri account sui SN , altro account g+
  • Siccome fb non è utile per tenere un diario online (almeno per ora gen 2012), poichè i backup non sono sufficienti, ho scoperto questo ottimo sito: http://www.my-diary.org dove ho il mio diario (utilissimo) privato.
  • (dead)pier4r.talk4fun.net (Informazioni utili sperimentali con commenti personali). meno male che ho fatto il backup, anche se non proprio aggiornatissimo :/
  • (pre internet era) pier4r.altervista (dead. Points for backups)
  • YT pierqr zt180 (account su youtube dove gestisco le sottoscrizioni a canali seri)
  • PA Quora account (with FB)
  • Linkedin
  • Twitter
  • Dead, another point for backups [Socl with my name]
  • assembla coding (and also one can do a wiki there)
  • osdn repositories Alternative as assembla doesn't always have free registrations active. Also age helps the reputation. Assembla is from 2005, OSDN is from 2001. Newer websites have more chances to quit the business. There also a wiki is possible. Update 2023-11-27: at it seems to be almost gone. likely not well mainteinated anymore and the infrastructure is crashing. Yes, a long standing service normally lasts longer, but someday can disappear too. Yet another point for "internet forgets and backups!". Internet does not forget only if one used it for a short time.
  • Dead/removed, another point for backups anobii
  • goodreads with fb
  • manga-updates
  • my anime list
  • Reddit Note that reddit (after 2018) locked the API to return at most 1000 entries. Thus it is either reddit wiki pages or nothing because writing there would mean, sooner or later, being unable to get the older entries.
  • AlternativeTo
  • Gone, another victory for backups and against scattered contributions *bit.ly bitmarks
  • stack exchange via FB
  • http://www.imdb.com imdb rating list (FB sso)
  • duolingo
  • http://prezi.com prezi FB sso
  • brilliant.org via FB
  • and it is gone! Make your backups and avoid scattering things code academy
  • wikipedia.en
  • emule forum
  • sourceforge when assembla is not enough (and some pages are needed). Early attempts failed (pre 2015) later (post 2020) it worked.
  • gone. Make your backups and avoid scattering things prototype of a site for personal public documents on freehostingeu.com , maybe will be not stable, testing. And it was stable for a while, and then dns problems. To rely on free stuff, one has to be ready to fix it.
  • gone/changed. Make your backups and avoid scattering things stumbleupon via FB
  • pocket unfortunately the real list is hidden, I cannot just share everything
  • hpmuseum.org (pier4r) , hpcalc.org (pier4r)

  • scribd (with fb?)
  • inkpad notepad with the account pierqr.aaaaaa.zt180 on google (try to remember all the google apps!)
  • firefox synch ( pier4r yahoo it)
  • habitica (pier4r). Habits and gamification helps, although on paper is even better at times.
  • torchpad markdown wiki (via FB login)
  • Telegram - awesome chat/social network where one can use groups for all sort of writings/sharing. Incredible that some solutions pop out "late" although the technology would have allowed them earlier. Not everything is realized immediately.
  • imgur (pier4r)
  • stremable (see fb SSO)
  • blizzard/ battle.net/starcraft (fb SSO)
  • pastebin.com (pier4r)
