As academics, we get invitations to contribute to more or less legitimate conferences and journals all the time, and often the proposed topics have nothing to do with our research. Most of the people sending these emails, however, at least get our names […]

@SURF: Are there any plans to set up a Dutch national instance of #peertube anytime soon and also make academic podcast-hosting more independent from commercial platforms? With #youtube drowning in #aislop and ads, I wonder how much longer universities and other research institutions can keep […]

Dear @egonw and other #linux people, my high-end Lenovo work laptop finally short-circuited after many issues since we bought it four years ago and is beyond repair. I would have to spend all my staff budget to pay a similar machine as the standard office machines are less powerful, and I would […]

One of my stops in #munich will be the #wine shop run by my former co-student Jule. The reviews I have seen so far are great and I thought I should also let fellow #travellers going to Bavaria know about it. 😇

I have booked one of the new mini cabins on the #nightjet sleeper #train for the first time and think they're gorgeous! They give you full privacy at a reasonable price. You have a locker for a mid-sized suitcase and more room for smaller bags under your […]

This is a fantastic episode and highly recommended to everyone in #parenting or #Education. #DigitalSociety
