- https://osc-international.com - International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities
- https://opensciencesweden.org - website shows no activities since last year. No RSS feed. No Masto account (only Twitter, email address and a contact form). They also have a forum https://onscienceandacademia.org/c/organisations/osc-sweden/59, but no activity there since 2023.
- https://open-science-community-uppsala.github.io/open_science_community_uppsala - Open Science Community Uppsala. Email list, Linkedin, Twitter, and Facebook. The mailing list can be followed via RSS, which should give you all future events.
- https://osc-ksa.com - Open Science Community in Saudi Arabia. Twitter, Linkedin, and Github. No Masto, and no RSS feed.
- https://help.osf.io/article/677-explore-open-science-communities - a large spreadsheet with all kinds of stuff.
A simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud, built with TypeScript and Deno.
First I hear of it. Seems to be developed primarily by a single developer.
I have not tested it.
- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39726172
- https://en.cozy.io - this is another project: Cozy (or Twake as it appears to be called) is clearly not FOSS.
Loopia has served me well for years. But they raise their prices at a cadence that is obscenely high. Alternatives?
- https://www.gandi.net - even more expensive than Loopia for
.sedomains. - https://porkbun.com - doesn't sell
.sedomains apparently. - https://zone.ee - based in Estonia. Practically the same prices as Loopia.
- https://se.godaddy.com/domains - even more expensive than Loopia for
.sedomains. - https://www.one.com - the first registrar I used, maybe good for beginners but nothing else.
- https://hostup.se/doman - baserad i Sverige.
- https://www.simply.com - 199 SEK per year for
.sedomains. - https://www.strato.se - baserad i Tyskland. 90 SEK/år för
.sevid första åsyn låter ju lovande. What? Only 5 subdomains? They're trying to limit the number of subdomains I can create? What's this nonsense. Enshittification everywhere. - https://www.hostinger.com - another one full of dark patterns. Very unclear pricing info.
I recently reworked my LaTeX template underlying my CV to be compliant with PDF/A-3U, and now I keep noticing chatter about PDF/A compliance or PDF accessibility in my feeds. It's true what they say: once you learn something, you start noticing it :-)
Let's collect notes here.
Accessibility of STEM documents
- https://tex.social/accessibility-of-stem-documents-talk-at-pdf-days-2025-in-berlin - blog post
- https://pdfa.org/the-winning-technical-poster-at-pdf-days-europe-2025 - all posters from the PDF Days Europe 2025 conference (many of them are about accessibility), very interesting!
- https://pdfa.org/presentation/tagged-and-accessible-pdf-with-latex-revisited - session at the same conference on "tagged and accessible PDF with LaTeX" with references to several works by the core LaTeX developers.
TinyTinyRSS has been my primary way of following and reading feeds for over a decade.
The original developer retired the project om 2025-11-01, but one the main contributors created a fork to pick up the mantle. Via https://fosstodon.org/@wallabag/115329272917315994 and https://pierce.xyz/@eric/115330726572632285.
TinyTinyRSS server
- https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss (main project since Nov 2025)
- https://github.com/HenryQW/Awesome-TTRSS - as far as I can tell this is an unofficial Dockerfile and Docker compose for TTRSS. I have not checked whether it still points to the retired repos or to the new fork.
Plugins
- https://github.com/joshp23/ttrss-to-wallabag-v2 - last commit 2021-03-14, repo archived on 2025-05-19
- https://github.com/Nikkiiw/ttrss-to-wallabag-v2-fix - last commit 2022-04-18, fork from joshp23's repo
- https://github.com/GregThib/ttrss-shaarli
- https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss-plugin-googlereaderkeys
- https://github.com/resticDOG/tt-rss-plugin-ntfy - huh, cool.
- https://github.com/lotrfan/ttrss_import_export_all - import/export all articles. But last commit 12 years ago, so I wouldn't expect it to work.
- https://github.com/cas--/tt-rss-plugin-hide_unread_count - another 12-years old repo.
Android
- https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss-android - does not have any releases yet, so we cannot use Obtainium to install it on Android.
- https://github.com/fbarthelery/geekttrss - an alternative TTRSS reader app. Also on F-Droid.
iOS
- https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tiny-reader-rss/id689519762 - I know nothing about it.
Other clients
- https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard - runs on Windows, Linux, BSD, OS/2, and macOS.
- https://github.com/aooiuu/vscode-ttrss - crazy, TTRSS in VSCode. I don't even know what to say.
