I am about to give a workshop about #reproducibility in the context of #ROOT #technology using #doomemacs #emacs (cf. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17157587).

Now I am wondering how I can make sure that the participants have installed all necessary programmes? I came up with a little test script: Please #help me to improve the script testing for edge-cases; execute the script and let me know if it works and/or what can I improve: https://gitlab.git.nrw/-/snippets/113

Thank you! #retoot #BoostoK

Resilient Technologies. Why Decades-Old Tools Define the ROOT of Modern Research Data Management

Research data management (RDM) today is characterized by a multitude of new platforms and specialized software solutions. These innovations are undoubtedly important, but they also involve risks: short life cycles, proprietary dependencies, and limited sustainability. In contrast, there are tools that have existed for decades and have proven to be remarkably resilient. These “resilient technologies” are distinguished by longevity, openness, interoperability, and the support of active communities. Examples include Emacs (established in 1976 as a highly customizable editor), awk (1977) for efficient text and data processing, sed and grep (indispensable in pattern recognition and transformation since the 1970s), as well as perl (1987) as a flexible scripting language for data pipelines. In the field of documentation, LaTeX (1984) stands for sustainable, reproducible, and platform-independent text processing. For the automation of complex workflows, make (1976) has proven its worth, while rsync (1996) remains unrivaled as a robust tool for data backup and transfer to this day. This is complemented by curl (1997), which has enabled stable and universal data transfer over the internet for decades. This three-poster series argues that decades-old, community-maintained tools form the ROOT of sustainable research data management—Robust, Open, Ongoing, Time-tested. The Concept/Meta poster motivates the idea of “resilient technologies,” tracing its lineage from literate programming and the Unix philosophy to contemporary RDM/NFDI practice. It introduces the ROOT badge as a compact signal for tools that are transparent, composable, well-documented, and maintained across years. The Main poster translates the concept into practice by mapping resilient tools (e.g., Emacs/Org-babel, Make, curl/sed/awk/grep/diff, cron, tar/rsync, SQLite, LaTeX, find) onto the research data life cycle (planning, production, analysis, archiving, access, re-use). It highlights simple, inspectable patterns—small steps that chain together into pipelines you can audit, version, and rebuild long after fashions and GUIs change. The Source poster closes the loop by disclosing the full build of the posters themselves: a reproducible, text-first publication that can be re-generated from a single source using the very tools it advocates. Together, the trilogy provides a coherent “why–what–how”: a rationale for resilience, a concrete mapping to RDM tasks, and an executable artifact that embodies the approach. The intended outcome is pragmatic: lower maintenance burden, higher reproducibility, and infrastructures that improve with age. The Focus poster has the main, meta and source poster combined and one section with focus areas.

One short question: how to allow instance posts to be quoted in GoToSocial? On the profile or posts setting, on [instance URL] /settings, I don't find the "who can quote" option. Who can reply, who can like, or can boost. But not quote. GoToSocial installed from YunoHost. #activitypub #AskFedi #fediverse #GoToSocial #help

My friends, I need your support now more than ever. Unfortunately, I haven’t received any donations so far, and the situation is becoming harder. I’m writing with a heavy heart and a lot of worry, but I’m still holding on to hope. Your support, even if small, can truly make a difference and help me keep going. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who stands with me or shares this message.

Hello ^__^

I thought if anyone knows this it would be you:

Is there a way / link where I show someone my Mastodon profile with only my posts (not including toots I boosted?)

Thanks for all your good work!

February Fundraiser - Rent + Food 🙏🏿🙏

We are out of money and wiggle room in the overdraft and we need to buy more food! Plus March rent (which includes electricity and heating costs) is looming.

We're two disabled, neurodivergent abuse survivors, recovering from eating disorders and chronic (in @DionRa 's case lifelong!) malnutrition, trying to get on our own feet but relying on mutual aid until we get there.

Y'all have already helped us through and out of horrible situations, please let's continue this effort until we are thriving and in turn able to pay it forward! We're so close! 💪 🦄

GOAL: 0€/2000€

Urgent Humanitarian Appeal 🙏🙏
I am writing this appeal with a heavy heart and deep helplessness. My family is going through extremely difficult circumstances, and there are days when we do not have enough food or basic necessities. The need is real and urgent, and our patience is running out.
I appeal to kind-hearted people and those who can help: any assistance, no matter how small, could save an entire family and restore a sense of safety to our lives.
If you are unable to help, please share

At times, I yearn for a gentle wander, unburdened by the heavy mantle of labor & the relentless gaze of the press
To taste freedom, if only for a fleeting moment& at last, I have. I stepped out, leaving the lens of my vocation behind; just a soul adrift, breathing deeply, far from the echoes of a world that serves only to weary the heart and weigh down the spirit❤️

Ok, so me and @squeakypancakes dug deep in the sysadmin mines to investigate the disk space issue on our server.

So it turns out the folder /var/services/mastodon/public/system/cache/preview_cards/images is HUGE. 600 GB and all tiny files so it took ncdu SO long to scan.

Does anyone know if we just delete all that cache? We ran tootctl cache clear and it did nothing.

Masto is a strange piece of software isn't it
