Oftentimes the smartest infrastructure is the simplest one. Today at #DH2026, our lab member Steffi presents a poster on minimal computing in public DH and science communication, with @viktor.im (FU Berlin). Their plea: make it static to make it last – but first ask what's worth keeping. (1/2)
i noticed the @gndgender.bsky.social bot has been missing quite a few posts over the last weeks. turns out that github’s become so unreliable that its workflow scheduling kept dropping runs (isgithubcooked.com?)

"The number of plays you can generate is larger than the number of atoms in the universe. In fact, one could generate as many plays as there are atoms in the universe FOR EACH atom in the universe". @viktor.im, @umblaetterer.bsky.social on generating TEI dramas with 🎲 (based on a 1829 book) #TEI2025
From June 23 to June 29, 2025, Freie Universität Berlin will be cutting out the letter e from its communication. Why? Because the university itself is facing cuts: around 37 million euros this year alone. Additional cuts are also planned for 2026 and 2027. (1/3)

the NixOS 24.11 upgrade went very smoothly for both the VPS and home server and only required minimal adjustments to the samba config – it’s been rock-solid as a server OS for me
happy to have discovered nh this week (“yet another nix helper”), which makes activating NixOS and home-manager configurations extremely satisfying. can’t wait to see what the upgrade to 24.11 will look like github.com/viperML/nh

From which languages were one-act plays typically translated? @dilan-c.bsky.social & @viktor.im present their #Einakter findings #CHR2024
