The Archive is now officially open!

Hello everyone! Sorry it took a little longer than expected. I got myself distracted (like I usually do).

The concept for the Arendelle Archives came into fruition in 2021 when friends @saiten-gefroren and FrozenHeart began working on the Frozen timeline study “Annals of Frozen”. The project was released to the fandom in July, 2021 and quickly gained traction among other fans who were already invested in exploring and discussing the lore of the franchise.

Around the same time, @virtual-winter published his 3-part series “An Odyssey Through Frozen Geography" which explored the real-world inspirations behind the world of Frozen, which perfectly fits the theme of the "Archive".  Together with “Annals of Frozen”, these two projects acted as the catalyst works that would bring a group of fans together on a common platform under a common goal and banner, starting off as a Discord-server in April 2022 and now, finally, stepping into the world of Tumblr!

So, what is Arendelle Archives?

As for the concept itself, we imagine that the Arendelle Archives, aka the Royal Arendelle Archives, was a 19th century national institution of Arendelle tasked with the preservation and documentation of natural, historical and geographical records. Though founded by the royal family (by Agnarr and Iduna undoubtedly, not that Runeard guy), it was a neutral agency without affiliations with any political or commercial power.

Moving on to the 21st century, we have established ourselves as a group of ordinary but dedicated Frozen fans with varying backgrounds and areas of “expertise” who are on a mission to restore the records that were once under the supervision of the Royal Arendelle Archives, in line with the same values that defined the "native" institution.

As spiritual descendants of the original Arendelle Archives staff, we aim to collect as much information as possible centered around Arendelle and its neighboring lands with the help of official material like the movies, books, comics, etc. (the “facts” of the Frozenverse if you will), then compile and summarize these facts by studying the source material and by making logical deductions without the interference of personal preferences or prejudices — It is a “science” for our beloved fictional world, not a “fiction” with personal attachments riddled through the work.

What have we done so far?

For the past two years, our focus has been set on collecting and presenting the history, geography and lore of Arendelle and the rest of the Frozen world. Entering 2024, our work has resulted in nearly a dozen completed or ongoing “in-house” fan-projects as well as affiliated works by creators tied to the Archive:

Seek the truth – Unraveling Frozen II (1st and 2nd edition) by Yumeka (2020)

Annals of Frozen (1st and 2nd edition) by Saiten and FrozenHeart (2021-2022)

An Odyssey Through Frozen Geography by Virtual Winter (2021-2023)

The Frozenverse – Media, books, comics and more! by Virtual Winter

The Flora and Fauna of Frozen by Virtual Winter (2022)

Reproducing Iduna’s map from Frozen II by Virtual Winter (2023)

Every appearance of Hans’ ship by Virtual Winter (2023)

Frozen Canon Talk! (1st to 4th edition) by Great Queen Anna (2021-2023)

Anna and Elsa’s lost family members by Virtual Winter (2023)

(links to the individual works will be added later)

What's next?

We are always “on the hunt” for like-minded fans with similar fan-projects in their portfolio. Just in time for Christmas of 2023, such an encounter resulted in the impressive video project “Frozen: The History of Arendelle”, a timeline study very much in tune with “Annals of Frozen”, created by Youtuber Geekritique in collaboration with us.

Just around the corner also lies the creation of a detailed Arendelle family tree based on the findings in “Anna and Elsa’s lost family members”.

After this? Only Ahtohallan knows… But with more Frozen content on the horizon, our work as archivists and record keepers will surely not be over any time soon and updates and refreshes of past works will definitely be coming in the near future!

Arendelle Archives on Tumblr

The decision to finally start this Tumblr came in November 2023. From now on, we will use this platform as the base of our operation and republish our previous entries, now finally unified under a common “Archives” banner. It will also be the main platform for future projects as well as reblogs of Frozen fan projects from other sources.

All things considered, we hope that through our work, we will contribute to the Frozen fandom as a whole and allow for regular fans, artists, analysts, and fanfiction writers alike to get a clearer picture of the lore, trivia and backstory of the Frozen-series!

Welcome!

Virtual Winter, Saiten and the rest of the Archive team

We'll go over Linux hosting's advantages and why it's the greatest option for website hosting. The different types of Linux web hosting will also be covered, along with advice on how to pick the best Linux web hosting provider.

Linux hosting: what is it?

Linux hosting is a type of web hosting in which websites are hosted on the Linux operating system. Because it can handle a variety of online applications and is dependable, safe, and stable, it is a popular option for hosting. Linux hosting is the practice of running websites on Linux-powered servers. Various hosting choices may be available, including dedicated hosting, cloud hosting, VPS hosting, and shared hosting. Companies and developers frequently choose Linux hosting due to its adaptability, affordability, and capacity to run unique applications.

Features of Linux operating system for website hosting-

The reliability, security, and flexibility of the Linux operating system make it a popular choice for web developers and website owners. Here, we'll examine some of the main characteristics of Linux operating systems used in web hosting and the reasons why they're the best option.

Flexibility

The Linux operating system can run numerous programs, including content management systems (CMS), e-commerce platforms, and custom apps. This implies that any kind of website, including blogs, e-commerce sites, and custom applications, can be hosted on a Linux server.

Scalability

Scalability is another benefit of Linux hosting as your website expands and traffic increases, you may quickly upgrade your hosting plan to a higher level of resources, such as more CPU and memory. By doing this, you can ensure that your website can manage the extra traffic and continue functioning properly.

Open-Source and Free

Because Linux is an open-source operating system, hosting providers can offer Linux hosting plans at a cheaper cost than other forms of hosting because it is free to use. Furthermore, Linux servers are renowned for their efficiency, which enables them to manage numerous websites with fewer resources used, resulting in cheap web hosting cost.

Interface That's user-friendly

Numerous control panel options are also available with Linux hosting. You can easily manage your website and hosting account with a control panel, which is an intuitive user interface. Plesk and cPanel are popular control panel choices for Linux hosting. These panels offer many functions, such as creating email accounts, managing databases, and viewing website statistics.

Security Level

Another benefit of best Linux hosting is its high level of security. The operating system is routinely updated to address weaknesses and fend off attackers because security was a top priority during its construction. To further improve security, Linux servers can also be configured using a range of security features, including firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

This kind of Linux hosting includes putting your website on a cloud-based server network. This implies that your website is simultaneously hosted on several servers, offering a great degree of scalability and dependability. Although cloud hosting is more expensive than shared hosting, it is a versatile and affordable web hosting choice for websites that require a lot of resources or traffic.

The size, traffic, and resource requirements of your website will determine the kind of Linux hosting that is best for you. While VPS, dedicated, and cloud hosting are better suited for larger businesses with higher traffic and resource requirements, shared hosting is a reasonable choice for smaller websites with minimal traffic.

Advice on Selecting the Best web hosting provider-

To make sure you get the best service for your website, it's crucial to take into account a few vital considerations when selecting an affordable Linux web hosting provider. The following advice will help you select the best Linux web hosting provider:

Find a trustworthy web hosting provider

Go for a web hosting provider that has a solid track record in the sector. Choose a hosting provider that has been in operation for some time and has a solid reputation for offering dependable hosting services. To locate a service that other people have found reliable, you can read reviews and get referrals from friends and co-worker's.

Think about the cost

To get the greatest value, compare the costs of several hosting providers. But remember that the least expensive choice isn't necessarily the best. Aim to strike a balance between the cost and the hosting provider's services and reputation.

Establish your hosting requirements

It's critical to ascertain your hosting requirements prior to beginning your search for a hosting provider. Take into account the size of your website, the volume of visitors you anticipate, and the kinds of apps you plan to use. This will enable you to focus your search and select a best web hosting provider that best suits your requirements.

Good customer service provider

Pick an affordable web hosting provider that offers best customer service. Choose a service provider who provides live chat, email, and phone support in addition to round-the-clock assistance. This will guarantee that assistance will be available to you at all times.

Selecting the Linux web hosting provider is a crucial choice that will significantly affect the functionality and dependability of your website. You may choose the best hosting provider for your website by taking into account your needs, searching for a reliable provider, examining the features, and seeking for a provider that offers excellent customer service.

Think of the type of hosting

Select the hosting plan that works best for your website. As was previously noted, Linux hosting comes in a variety of forms, including dedicated, cloud, shared, and VPS hosting. Select a best and an affordable hosting provider that provides the type of hosting that best meets your requirements.

Examine the advantages offered by the hosting

Verify if the hosting provider has the services you require. The quantity of storage and bandwidth, the number of domains and subdomains, the kind of control panel, and the presence of one-click installs for programmes like WordPress are a few crucial aspects to take into account.

Conclusion-

For those searching for a dependable and reasonably priced hosting solution, Linux hosting is an excellent choice. It has a tonne of features.

Difficult Rollbacks: Inability to easily revert to a previous, stable version of the code when bugs were introduced.

Collaboration Headaches: Sharing code updates manually was slow, error-prone, and inefficient.

Git to the Rescue: A Paradigm Shift

Git revolutionized software development by providing a distributed version control system (DVCS). Unlike centralized systems (like SVN or CVS) where a single server holds the master copy, Git allows every developer to have a full copy of the entire repository and its complete history. This distributed nature offers immense advantages:

Offline Work: Developers can commit changes locally without an internet connection.

Speed: Operations like committing, branching, and merging are incredibly fast since they are local.

Resilience: No single point of failure; if the central server goes down, developers still have their full local repositories.

Seamless Collaboration: Branching and merging capabilities make it easy for multiple developers to work on different features simultaneously without stepping on each other's toes.

Comprehensive History: Every change, every commit, every branch merge is meticulously recorded, providing a clear audit trail.

FAQs

What is version control, and why is it essential for developers?

Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. It's essential for developers because it enables collaborative work, tracks every change, allows easy rollbacks to previous states, and helps manage different versions of software projects.

How does a distributed version control system (DVCS) like Git differ from a centralized one?

In a centralized system, there's a single server storing all versions of the code. In a DVCS like Git, every developer has a complete copy of the entire repository and its full history locally. This allows for offline work, faster operations, and greater resilience.

Can learning this tool help me if I'm not pursuing a software development role?

Absolutely. Many roles, including data scientists, technical writers, web designers, and even project managers, increasingly benefit from understanding how to use it to manage their projects, track changes in documents, or collaborate on content.

What is the purpose of branching in a repository?

Branching allows developers to diverge from the main line of development to work on new features or bug fixes independently without affecting the stable main codebase. Once the work is complete and tested, the branch can be merged back into the main line.

How important are good commit messages?

Good commit messages are crucial for understanding the history of a project. They explain why a change was made, what problem it solves, or what feature it implements, making it easier for present and future team members to comprehend the codebase.

Is GitHub the only platform to host repositories?

No, while GitHub is the most popular, there are other excellent platforms to host repositories, such as GitLab and Bitbucket. They offer similar functionalities for remote collaboration and project management.

What should I include in my public profile to impress potential employers?

Include a clear profile picture, a concise bio, links to your personal website or LinkedIn, and most importantly, pin your best and most relevant projects. Ensure your repositories have good README files explaining what they are.

How can I contribute to an open-source project after learning the basics?

Start by looking for projects that interest you or use technologies you're learning. Many projects have "good first issue" labels for beginners. You can begin with small contributions like fixing typos, improving documentation, or addressing minor bugs.

What are the common pitfalls to avoid when starting to learn this tool?

Avoid "tutorial hell" (only consuming content without practicing), neglecting to build your own projects, fearing to make mistakes (it's part of learning), and not utilizing the command line interface enough, as it provides the most powerful control.
