Rezension von biblatex-archaeology [v2.2] in den „Archäologischen Informationen“

Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ur- und Frühgeschichte (DGUF) hat in ihrer Verbandszeitschrift Archäologische Informationen im 51. Jahr ihres Bestehens erstmals eine Softwarerezension abgedruckt. Und man glaubt es kaum, sie betrifft mein biblatex-archaeology Paket. Die Besprechung von Anne Klammt, Forschungsleiterin für digitale Geisteswissenschaften am Deutschen Forum für Kunstgeschichte in Paris, fällt recht wohlwollend aus. Early View bei der DGUF Druckfassung im...

WP Tournament Registration v1.3.0 released

Only a small bugfix because E-mail notification when new participantts register did not work. Now fixed! Remark that I had to fix the docs, too. The E-mail field does not expect an address but a comma-separated list of WordPress user names and fetches the addy from the datbase. Head over to project site!

biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅶ: CiteDrive

CiteDrive is a collaborative online reference manager for BibTeΧ. Its strengthens are the possibility to pick up references from online sources like PubMed or Google Scholar via a Browser plugin (“CiteDrive Companion”) and the integration into several LaTeΧ editors like Overleaf or RStudio. It can produce cite commands for LaTeΧ and Pandoc as well. I must admit that I could...

biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅵ: Overleaf

Overleaf is a collaborative online LaTeΧ editor. The advantage of this approach is that authors are independent from alternating devices where they need always the same TeΧ distribution in the same state. The disadvantage is that such web-based services have high demands concerning stability and therefore delay updates until extended testing was carried out. At the time being Overleaf is...

biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅴ: TeX4ht for HTML or MS Word conversion

There have been a couple of projects that aim to convert LaTeΧ sources to HTML, XML or MS Word. Only two have gained a broader interest of the audience: LaTeΧML TeΧ4ht (htlatex). The former does not support BibLaTeΧ. So we are stuck to TeΧ4ht. As the name indicates it was originally a TeX to HTML converter. But today it supports...

Setting up Twitter-like lists on Bluesky

Twitter-like Bluesky is still at beta test stage at the time being. Some features we were used to on Twitter are still lacking. Amongst others there is no straight implementation of lists.

Soziales Netzwerk „Ello“ abgeschaltet

Erinnert sich noch jemand an das soziale Netzwerk Ello? 2014, als Facebook versuchte, eine Klarnamenpflicht einzuführen, wechselten viele FB-Nutzer dorthin. Bis dahin war es ein werbefreies Netzwerk für Grafiker und Fotografen gewesen. Eine Art Pinterest, nur mit besserem Content. Nach einigen Monaten flaute der Hype wieder ab, und Ello fiel in seine ursprüngliche Nische zurück. Er gibt bis heute nicht...

Configuring Friendica with Redis

I cannot remember exactly why I chose Friendica when I wanted to take a look on the Fediverse years ago but very likely it was because it is written in PHP which I have considerable skills of. I wasn’t familiar with Docker containers at that time. So I ended up with a bare metal instance which I started to use...

Lessons learned from recent server and website updates

Content-Security-Policy Regarding the CSP header, the prefetch-src entry is deprecated and should be removed. More at Mozilla! Nginx and HTTP/3 The Nginx version in Ubuntu 22.04 is pretty old (1.18) and has reached EOL yet. For receiving newer releases one must add the Nginx repository from nginx.org to the package manager and remove the old install. Nginx distinguishes a stable...
