I'm using those dumps for a monthly data process. It breaks regularly, mirrors disappear, there's only very few mirrors with the full data and little history. (I'm running a mirror for OpenStreetMap but don't have the disk capacity or bandwith for wikipedia's mirror requirements).
- chuckreynolds 2y agoWondering then if you've tried the Snapshot API in wikimedia enterprise?
- w10-1 2y agoRight, the incentives are adverse: if they lower quality of service for free offerings, they'll be rewarded with more paying customers for reliable service. But quality does take money.
- madeofpalk 2y agoWhat are the incentives for more paying customers? Wikimedia Foundation, being a non-profit, has a lot less incentives to chase money at the expense of product quality.
- graemep 2y agoThe for profit parts are meant to chase money, and higher revenues justify higher management salaries ("I am running a bigger organisation so I deserve to be paid more"). This is widely accepted as being a motive for misaligned incentives in for profit businesses (with regard to takeovers) too.
- boramalper 2y ago> I'm running a mirror for OpenStreetMap Curious why you're running a mirror for OSM, is it public or for your private use? If you don't mind, I'd love to learn more about it; sounds super interesting to me.
