Det första föredraget av Petter Falk (doktorand på Karlstads universitet) var riktigt bra. Man får hoppas Trafikverket lyssnar.

avtal med företaget ArkivIT om drift och support av ett e-arkivsystem baserat på programvarorna Archivematica och AtoM (Access to Memory)
Hösten 2021 gick det Enskilda e-arkivet med Arkiv Sörmland i spetsen in i slutfasen för E-arkivportalen. Tanken är att portalen ska nyttjas av föreningar som vill arkivera digitalt material som i första hand tillkommit digitalt. Det kan röra sig om hemsidor, sociala medier, mailkorrespondens, avtal, räkenskaper, fotografier, videofiler, och mycket mer.

UNIDO's (UN Industrial Development Organization) projects and programmes at a glance. Has a really nice by country explorer.
Unfortunately neither the UNIDO website nor its Open Data platform appear to feature any RSS feeds.
Let's say you have a very large Zotero library, from which you export a likewise large BibLaTeX file, say full-library.bib
.
In your document you load that large BIB-file (because that's easy), \addbibresource{full-library.bib}
, but naturally cite only a subset of works.
Now you want to share the source code for this document with someone else, and provide them with a BIB-file so they can recompile it if they wish. Can we produce a BIB-file containing only the entries that were actually cited in the document?
Yes, we can. biber
has built-in support for this scenario. Just make sure your latest compilation produced a proper .bcf
file, then:
biber --output_format=bibtex --output_resolve document.bcf
which will create document_biber.bib
, a properly formatted BibLaTeX BIB-file containing only the subset of works from your library that were actually cited in this document.
I'm afraid I don't remember where I learned this.
Really nice work by Steve Byrnes. Very useful.

African farmers on average use the least fertilizer per acre in the world and have some of the lowest yields, particularly for corn and other grains that provide the bulk of the continent’s calories. As a result, despite having 60 percent of the world’s arable land, almost half the countries in Africa depends on imported wheat from Russia and Ukraine, with 14 African countries getting more than half their wheat from the two warring nations.

This is cool, research data on SND is now indexed and findable via the Swedish data portal.
I keep getting annoyed by Doodle. In this latest example, it proved impossible to change the shown "name" as guest user once my answer was submitted, despite it being possible to change everything else, or even decline. (I wanted to make use of the "name" field to include a single-word message to the organizer.) And when logged in the name field never even showed up during the answer flow.
Alternatives to Doodle
- https://crab.fit (it's FOSS, source code on Github)
- https://framadate.org/abc/en (FOSS, by the well-known French organization Framasoft)
- https://datumprikker.nl (not FOSS, but perhaps convenient since it offers Google and Apple apps). Don't forget to change to English in the menu.
Self-hostable alternatives

- Nextcloud may have some doodle-like app (I haven't checked).
I takt med att prisjakt försämras och dag för dag blir mindre användbart (senaste försämringen var Cloudflare "säkerhetskontroll" när man klickar på en produktlänk för att "gå till butik"...) blir det tyvärr nödvändigt att hålla en egen lista över återförsäljare och dylikt.
Lista i bokstavsordning.
