I have just discovered Darren S. Layne's #review of my 2023 #book on uprisings and political mediation in the eighteenth-century British Empire. I'm honoured that he took the time to read my interdisciplinary and very continental exploration that is, indeed, "only moderately a work of #History" […]

Another #openscience knowledge exchange is bringing members of the Dutch OS community together in Utrecht today. One of our goals for the day was formulating community statements for our local communities and giving each other feedback. Nice snacks for coffee help!

Are there any #Kubernetes users out here who can point me to resources on how to push commits from a #pod to a #Github repository? I suppose this also depends on the individual Kubernetes set-up, which is managed by my institute. But advice, experiences and links are very much appreciated!

I read a long Github issue on making BlueSky and Mastodon interoperable. Despite all the challenges, I at least hope for a read-and-repost connection in the nearer future. That colleagues are now on all the different platforms is a pain.

You guys have been busy... The ‘Historical Atlas o/t Low Countries (1350–1800)’ paper was published only just before Christmas and is already the journal’s most downloaded paper of 2023! I wonder how you will be using the GIS dataset in 2024… Best wishes! doi.org/10.1163/2452...

Stehe gerade in einem deutschen Drogeriemarkt und verstehe die Welt nicht mehr. Alle reden über Zero Waste und Umweltschutz, und jetzt bekommen Kleinkinder bei uns Obst aus der Plastikpackung? Hier ist eine ganze Regalwand voll davon. Verschiedene Hersteller. Ich bin gerade sprachlos!

Interesting discussion about archival triage, (digital) storage costs, and the pros & cons of mass digitisation. One issue that should also be mentioned: (Digital) historians usually don't get much funding for their own technology efforts, which creates great dependence on archival services.
Big time.
Note how they simply state that they don't need to do an Impact Assessment because it will just be a saving, and thereby do not know just how costly it is to preserve digital materials. As this fab post points out: digital needs *frequent* manual checks peelarchivesblog.com/2017/05/31/w...

What is the "best" menstruation tracker app in terms of data safety? I would like to pay for a good app with a simple and clear interface. Flo is very much about the expert advice and community discussions, which I don't need. And I have doubts about their data policy. Any recommendations?

Following a classroom debate on data ethics, I recommended this podcast to my students in the MA Digital Cultures, and I would also like to share it here. Apart from an intriguing investigation, the podcast offers insights into the data decisions that journalists make.

Really interesting talk and great discussion on the never-ending challenges of HTR for historical sources! I am, personally, very much interested in using OCR4all. Perhaps other researchers / historians in the Netherlands are interested in setting up a joint infrastructure and sharing training data?
Im nächsten DigitalHistoryOFK diskutiert Pauline Spychala (DHI Paris) wie eScriptorium & @transkribus.bsky.social effektiv kombiniert werden können, um mittelalterliche franz. Quellen per HTR zu erschließen.
