@mart1nkle1n Springer's product pages list identifiers before they're active. There are pending publication workflows for this, like CrossRef's, but the big publishers don't seem to use them.

[Lee Organick @LOrganick]

Amidst *broadly gestures to collapsing world* @datamolecules preprint is out. Using synthetic DNA? We aged hundreds of samples directly comparing different preservation methods. Thx Bichlien, Rachel, Weida, Xavier, @scientistsiena, @RobertGrass17, @luisceze, @KStraussIdeas! 🔗👇

Really thrilled to share a new paper, "Metastable hybridization-based DNA information storage to allow rapid and permanent erasure" with Dave Zhang et al. at Rice:

Thanks everyone for supporting our efforts to get this fixed.

[Metamer Labs @metamerlabs]

Quick update: @gitlab is working on a fix.

[Metamer Labs @metamerlabs]

We were hit by a @GitLab bug that deletes the wrong group. First we were ignored, then told this is the "expected result". Now you are "sympathetic" but "there is nothing we can do". Are you the same GitLab from 2017? Or do you care about data integrity now? @sytses @dzaporozhets

[Metamer Labs @metamerlabs]

Retweeting for visibility: @Gitlab deleted one of our groups through a bug. GitLab groups are like @github organizations. GitLab are ignoring the seriousness of this matter. #DigitalPreservation

One sentence description of the bug: If a user fails to rename the slug of Group A to that of Group B prior to attempting to delete Group A, GitLab deletes Group B instead.

[Metamer Labs @metamerlabs]

Disclosure timeline: We discovered this bug late Saturday, 2020-08-15. We disclosed immediately and reproduced variants from that point on, with follow-up throughout 2020-W34.

[Metamer Labs @metamerlabs]

Until GitLab repairs this glaring platform flaw, organizations who need to be confident in their devops toolchain simply cannot rely on GitLab's products. @DouweM @maxlazio @tbarr

@SynBioBeta @TwistBioscience For retail release formats, the estimate on the left is off by about an order of magnitude for 11995 releases. Dual-layer Blu-ray cuts fit up to 50GB. UHD cuts are currently up to 100GB. Samsung says the spec can support 200GB.

[Metamer Labs @metamerlabs]

Does anyone in the #digitalpreservation community know how to reach someone quickly at @gitlab? We've encountered an urgent data integrity issue but can't seem to get proper attention for it.
