#Landschap | Voor op de verlanglijst, Dutch Landscape: https://www.nai010.com/nl/publicaties/dutch-landscape/246104 💧Het landschap van NL is vooral een project, een work in progress, dat voortdurend aanpassing en onderhoud vraagt – al is het maar omdat het anders onder water loopt
'Concerns about the decline of X as a source of reliable information extends beyond the scientific and academic communities. During the apparent coup attempt in Russia in June, journalists noticed its relative uselessness at helping them find real-time, breaking information from the ground and sifting fact from fakery, due in part to Musk’s trashing of its account verification system.'
Only a few more left! September 12th is fast approaching. What craziness is this! 'Final' polish is being applied, and 'final testing' also continues, but art is never done is it? You just stop, step away, and wonder.
Boy will I have some post mortems to write up about all this...

The Constitution Quiz of the Week is made in collaboration with the Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier.
Rainy, cool, humid day today - gross. With on and off rain promised all weekend. Think I'll close the pool today. It isn't supposed to get out of the 70s (21.1C) in the entire 10 day, getting as low as 51 (10.56C) at one point! So it won't heat up enough to go back in anyway, so I'll save the electricity running the pump. Sad, really. Hardly got in at all this summer, esp. after I was told to stay out for 3 weeks due to the #CatBite. I'm the only regular user.
So I decided to save a few bucks and go with the Fitbit Inspire 3 instead of the Charge 5. It's only US$20 cheaper, but hey, it's something. The only big difference is no GPS in the Inspire but I never go anywhere without my phone so no big loss there. And @jeanettepizzurro said it was good enough for her, so that means it is good enough for me! Going to pick it up today. I feel so naked without it on my wrist! And does exercise really count if you don't measure it?
Went to the hospital today for neurological testing. I saw only four other patients who were wearing a mask and no practitioners or staff. I honestly don't understand.

I've never been treated like I was an imposition before at at medical facility - at check in, by the assistant, by the doctor. I don't know if it was the mask. My mind is spinning.

I have some very exciting writing news to share. I have sold a novella.
No Sympathy, my urban fantasy about sympathetic magic and ego, will be published by Android Press. Delighted to be working with such a cool indie publisher, and I know they're a fantastic fit for the work.
For those in research or innovation spaces, (including open source),
What is your method for assigning tasks, of different priority and involvement levels.
How do you differentiate between presenting volunteer/open that have one set of quality standards, vs other quality standards for different tasks-roles-responsibilities?
Ik meen me te herinneren dat iemand hier laatst een hashtag opperde voor gelezen boeken.
Nu postenik gisteren zelf een (heel goed) boek en wil daar eigenlijk nog wel die hashtag aan toevoegen.
Ook leuk om zo tips van anderen te bekijken.
Maar welke was dat ook weer?

Selfhosted coturn server Rocket chat Configuration.
I spun up a coturn VPS server and configured the turn server in rocket chat WEBRTC configuration. However, when I try a call button to have a private audio call, it still starts up jitsi instead of doing a direct call using my turn server. Can someone tell me the right configuration to make it work like a regular voice or video chat/call?
Thanks.
This one felt very timely - Surviving financially as an artist / surviving as the world slips into war. How the rise of fascism affected different people differently. People not recognising their own privilege. All put across in a story that feels very light - Really clever! @bookstodon
Still trying to get a feel for this platform. I came looking for the historians (and other cool kids) I lost with the demise of that other platform.
I am a recovered academic who now enjoys life working in a museum. Still a historian. One who now often thinks about the weird gaps between academic and public history.
