I should probably do a proper masto #introduction
I'm Vicky. I'm a librarian focusing on research reproducibility + research data management.
I gave an interview about me/my work recently: http://acrl.ala.org/dh/2018/04/04/repro/
I love FOSS, open access, open educational resources, open EVERYTHING
I hate the corporate capture of scholarship
I co-founded an open source, open access repo for LIS scholarship: lissarchive.org
I also love my super cute black cat Little Boss & my partner @remram44

Friendly fediverse reminder that accidents happen no matter how hard we try to avoid them, so occasionally back up your follow/block/mute lists, and/or your post archive if you'd be sad to lose them.
Made a little Python library to interact with at(1) on UNIX

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.

RT @ossia@twitter.com: If you're trying to figure out how to sustain your open source project, this is a great overview of your options, with insights from @kemitchell@twitter.com, @nayafia@twitter.com, @xdamman@twitter.com, and @left_pad@twitter.com. https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/23/open-source-sustainability/
Working on PeerTube federation support! Mastodon & Pleroma support is pretty much finished (had to simulate remote follow since this is a localhost instance)

Non-poppable bubble wrap is a travesty.
I'm working on an ActivityPub guide website for coders & non-coders! It's something I wish existed before I started pixelfed.
#Discord re-set this flag automatically during the last update. If you don't want it scanning your computer and uploading that info to their servers, check your privacy settings.
This is awful.
ah, no bots allowed on scholar.social. I was thinking of making a bot on mastodon to mirror my bot on Twitter, which tweets out reproducibility-related resources.
On birdsite it's @ReproFeed - https://twitter.com/reprofeed
Is there another like, academic/scholarly related instance out there where a bot might be welcome?
For folks who write a lot of #markdown and hate that you can't see it rendered in most plain-text editors....
Try ReText!! I really love it. So simple, but has everything that I need when editing markdown -- live preview (two panels side by side, one where you edit and the other preview) and some basic formatting help.
It's 2018 and there's no single messaging/chat/instant messaging app that is/has:
* FOSS
* encrypted/security-aware
* plain-text export of all messages for all time
* search across all messages
HOW DO I MISS THE PIXELFED REGISTRATION WINDOW EVERY SINGLE TIME.
