🗂️ My computer stores everything I work with: drafts, notes, datasets, scripts, models, simulations results, old archives — and, of course, a ridiculous amount of literature. 😅

Recently I discovered something that felt like unlocking a hidden level: local full-text search.

I’d used basic search tools before, but then I tried Recoll — an open-source search engine for UNIX-like systems — and it completely changed how I navigate my research files.

It honestly feels like I found a new kind of “computer game,” and I’ll probably keep playing with it for months. 🤣

📚 Fifteen years of my personal BibTeX database!

Fifteen years ago, I started keeping my own BibTeX database — just a plain text file edited manually, line by line.
Later I switched to JabRef, and everything became much smoother!

Over the years, the database has grown to almost 2,000 entries — and it’s no longer just a list of references, but a snapshot of the knowledge I’ve interacted with.
Because I always fill in the Abstract field, full-text search now lets me literally “remember everything.”

Among all my long-term “personal productivity” projects, this one has turned out to be the most valuable.

💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey

After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.

📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression

That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.

It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.

🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?

🤝🌎 Excited to kick off the third installment of #Digimeet today, bringing together around 80 digital researchers from 16 countries across the EU, UK, South America, the US & India!
Our focus this year is a deep dive into #PlatformGovernance & #Power. We'll be exploring the latest global developments, zeroing in on the underlying power dynamics, societal implications, and technological advancements shaping policy discourse today.

The bad news is that some of DR DOS 5.0 is written in C; and the primary programming is being done in England. I've noticed that just about every time I find a large program with known glitches that no one seems able to fix, that program is written in C and is likely written by a programming team in a remote location.

Der Wissenschaftsrat fordert für die #NFDI einen Paradigmen­wechsel: weg vom Bottom-up, hin zu einer zentral gesteuerten, nachhaltig finanzierten Infrastruktur.
Nur so meistern wir KI-Datenfluten, Langzeit­archivierung & internationale Vernetzung – und sichern DEs Platz im datengetriebenen Forschungsökosystem.

My first operating system was CP/M. An operating system created in 1974 by Gary Kildall, the founder of Digital Research. Few people knows who was Gary Kildall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall) and his CPM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M).

Apple and Microsoft have taken the history for them..
