„Linking Research Activities: #TaDiRAH as a Shared Taxonomy for #DigitalHumanities Research Practices“

Die #Taxonomy bietet ein gemeinsames Vokabular, um digitale #Forschungsaktivitäten in den #Geisteswissenschaften zu beschreiben und miteinander zu verknüpfen.
Auf der EADH Conference in Krakau stellen Kolleg*innen die aktuelle Weiterentwicklung vor.
📅 16. September 2026, 9:00–10:30 Uhr
Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch in Krakau!

🥳 Behold! A marvelously mundane spectacle where we watch #bots dance their little cyber jig on an #SSH #honeypot, because nothing screams "cutting-edge research" like live-streaming what amounts to digital cat videos. 🎥🐱 Surely, this is what the Internet was created for – gawking at IP addresses and pretending it's education. 🚀😂

StarLink in 1984, by Digital Research: a "hardware/software combination to expand the IBM PC into a multiuser system".

🤝 SODa beim Scoping Workshop der VolkswagenStiftung zu Zukunftskompetenzen im FDM

Fokus: Fragen zu Kompetenzen, Frameworks, Terminologien & Governance für datengetriebene Wissenschaft.

💡 Im Gallery Walk zeigte SODa ein Beispiel zur Verschränkung von Lernzielmatrix und TaDiRAH zur Entwicklung kompetenzorientierter Lernpfade

Zentrales Ergebnis: Schreibteams erarbeiten bis zum Jahresende ein Positionspapier mit Handlungsempfehlungen.

🧵 Curious how researchers, journalists, and artists dig into the web’s past? 🌐

WAYS OF WORKING WITH THE WAYBACK MACHINE shows how the #WaybackMachine opens up discovery & creativity from tracking platform changes to investigating misinformation & remixing archived sites.

A recent gathering at Internet Archive Europe shared methods, tools, and collaborations shaping digital research and media art.

🗂️ My computer stores everything I work with: drafts, notes, datasets, scripts, models, simulations results, old archives — and, of course, a ridiculous amount of literature. 😅

Recently I discovered something that felt like unlocking a hidden level: local full-text search.

I’d used basic search tools before, but then I tried Recoll — an open-source search engine for UNIX-like systems — and it completely changed how I navigate my research files.

It honestly feels like I found a new kind of “computer game,” and I’ll probably keep playing with it for months. 🤣

📚 Fifteen years of my personal BibTeX database!

Fifteen years ago, I started keeping my own BibTeX database — just a plain text file edited manually, line by line.
Later I switched to JabRef, and everything became much smoother!

Over the years, the database has grown to almost 2,000 entries — and it’s no longer just a list of references, but a snapshot of the knowledge I’ve interacted with.
Because I always fill in the Abstract field, full-text search now lets me literally “remember everything.”

Among all my long-term “personal productivity” projects, this one has turned out to be the most valuable.

💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey

After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.

📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression

That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.

It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.

🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?

🤝🌎 Excited to kick off the third installment of #Digimeet today, bringing together around 80 digital researchers from 16 countries across the EU, UK, South America, the US & India!
Our focus this year is a deep dive into #PlatformGovernance & #Power. We'll be exploring the latest global developments, zeroing in on the underlying power dynamics, societal implications, and technological advancements shaping policy discourse today.

Der Wissenschaftsrat fordert für die #NFDI einen Paradigmen­wechsel: weg vom Bottom-up, hin zu einer zentral gesteuerten, nachhaltig finanzierten Infrastruktur.
Nur so meistern wir KI-Datenfluten, Langzeit­archivierung & internationale Vernetzung – und sichern DEs Platz im datengetriebenen Forschungsökosystem.
