#ecr — Public Fediverse posts

One (and in particular early career researchers #ECR ) can still submit abstracts to the UK #astroparticle #physics phenomenology #conference taking place on the 29th of June in #Oxford . https://indico.cern.ch/event/1689082/overview

Successful QSO on the East Coast Reflector with Bob #AJ9Y in Phoenix. I'm using VoxDMR with my phone on the TGIF network. Reception report: the audio was "raspy" and hard to copy.

I am always surprised when a sprawling multiprotocol network works as well as it does, and also not surprised when DMR audio gives a subpar reception report.

Kudos to the #MIT Graduate Student Council for adopting "a resolution expressing support for campus libraries to exit big deal journal packages and calling for changes to promotion and tenure processes to move away from journal-based metrics."

Here's the resolution itself.

#Bitnami has removed their container images and #Helm charts from 'main' registries like #Docker hub and whatnot for a while now, thanks to fucking #Broadcom - in order to lock them behind some enterprise contract or some shit. But. They've always been 'secretly' available still on some other registries like #Amazon 's #AWS #ECR Public Gallery (public.ecr.aws). Not anymore, they're planning to remove them on June 10. These fucking bitches.

Everyone in the #homelab/#DevOps community, please, mirror the shit out of their stuffs please before they're gone forever (June 10):

#Zot is one good OCI registry mirroring tool you could self-host to make this a lil easier:

We are looking for #PhDs and #Postdocs, who want to share their exciting #ChemBio research with a broad audience!

If you are interested, apply with a short abstract for a Flash Talk at the 6th Virtual ChemBioTalks on September 29th.

Fancy #Antarctic mini-doco on our 2024 #RossSea voyage with the Italian team aboard their Laura Bassi icebreaker who have worked the region for decades. The younger scientists aboard built collaborations that will last years -IF- we can support these young researchers and all their energy and ideas. See if you can spot who was interviewed after nearly 2 months at sea vs those back on shore 🤔 #climate #science #ECR The majority of the vid was by the wonderful #LanaYoung who is now in the UK.

One of my fears of homelabbing is the reliance on (3rd party) #Docker/#container images that could just be gone someday. I've already had it happen once, with #Bitnami images (fuck #Broadcom).

One way I previously thought to combat this is to manually pull the image bundle and host it in your own container registry. This works, but obviously not a reasonable effort to do and reproduce for more than ~1-2 images.

Then, the moment I discovered #Amazon/#AWS has such a thing that addresses this - pull through cache for their #ECR, I looked up on how I can have the same kind of setup on my #homelab, and sure enough, there are already several options. I went with #Zot, and it's working pretty freaking well. Now, anytime I pull any images from registries I've configured Zot to sync like #GitHub's ghcr.io, docker.io, public.ecr.aws, they'll all be pulled/cached first on my own Zot instance and stored for good there.

Man, I wish I looked into this much earlier - but better late than never.

Good discussion at our #HealthSciences #PGR coffee morning about #authorship, especially when publishing with supervisors or larger teams.

I used this recent paper to create a space for sharing experience and practice:

#ECR #AcademicPublishing

Update. This article in Nature makes the case that reusing #OpenData for new purposes is a good solution for "cash-strapped and early-career researchers" who don't have the means to generate their own.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00434-x

True enough. But it undervalues the utility of past data for all relevant new projects, even well-funded new projects. The present thread gives some examples. Open data are not only, and not even primarily, for the indigent. They're for the savvy, those who notice their relevance, regardless of means.

Despite #EPP and #ECR and other right wing corporate supporters in the #EU, this crisis is showing that #renewable #green energy and #sustainable fertiliser/#farming practices are not just ‘hippie’ policies, but necessary for economic independence and security of the EU.

The European "center right" is nothing but three fascists in a trench coat.

The largest party in the E.U. parliament secretly collaborates with the far right while Germany's C.S.U. and C.D.U. still pretend they don't cooperate with the A.F.D.

#eupol #EPP #AFD #fascism #farright #immigration #refugees #depol #CSU #CDU #PFE #ECR #ESN

The center right E.P.P. party (with politicians from Germany's C.D.U. and C.S.U.) collaborated using a secret WhatsApp group and face to face meetings with neonazi parties like A.F.D. and far right parties from Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni to draft the bill and push thru the vote, proving again that if you scratch a centrist, a fascist bleeds

The E.U. voted to deport asylum seekers to offshore "return hubs" outside the E.U. which have been described as “human rights black holes” where its impossible to monitor human rights standards and detainees can be subject to prolonged detention in a state of legal limbo.

Far right politicians are already celebrating that “the era of deportations has begun"

Great first day of the first #GermanPostdocNetwork #GPN2026 in Munich, with two inspiring keynotes, by #LydiaRepke and #PilMariaSaugmann.

#EarlyCareerResearchers play an essential role in the German academic system, and this role should be more recognised!

Let's build a great #ECR #community 😃

Working with Azure and AWS, I've found that ACR & ECR both have their perks. Just migrated my blog's pipeline to ECR. Exciting differences! https://www.funkysi1701.com/posts/2026/acr-vs-ecr/ #Azure #AWS #Docker #Containers #DevOps #ACR #ECR #Cloud

BiO is proud to partner with the European Zebrafish Society to offer travel grants for the 13th European Zebrafish Meeting (EZM2026) - 7-11 July 2026 in Vienna, Austria. This travel grant is designed to provide financial support for early-career researchers based in the Global South.

I know there's other stuff going on, but... I had the honour of helping bring together stories from the next generation of NZ researchers and scientists as they try and start their careers... as you can imagine it is grueling - but also they are amazing people. #science #ecr #NZAS #Aotearoa https://ojs.victoria.ac.nz/nzsr/article/view/10493

The #m1ke really is coming into its own right now. It now has native #Echolink support, which I've just been testing on the #OurCoffeeShop net (although with no messaging or roster info) and it worked perfectly. Also #Allstar-as-a-node capability is much improved and significantly more stable than it was... I'll give that a proper test on the #ECR #MorningBrew net on Monday

This little device isn't cheap, but when you consider the modes it supports, it's definitely a powerhouse.
