#CodeCommons is mapping all #OSS. We hit massive scale by solving a bottleneck: 10,000 #Python processes overloaded the #HPC store. Solution: re-architected process spawning. https://www.softwareheritage.org/2025/10/08/kraken-swh-fuse/

The love of preservation for their code is admirable. Thanks to @softwareheritage.org , these local care practices have become a worldwide common goal and #openscience infrastructure.
The first edition of Unix was released internally at Bell Labs #OTD in 1971. Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, et al started working on it in 1969.

Software Heritage is another good option: www.softwareheritage.org . They use a different permanent ID scheme but have more software-specific features and metadata.
