I notice that the British Library is also hiring a #Linux Server Specialist (#RedHat), UK only, to recover from their 2023 cyber attack.

This posting is up in Boston Spa; that's not that Boston, not /that/ Boston, keep going.... yep that one.

It's interesting to see them trying to hiring #opsec and #sysadmin skills to try and harden their systems. Wonder if it will work.

What's left of the US cutting itself off from the world in every way it can. It leaves a big hole

Just a note for the next time anyone schedules a conference in Texas:

It is now literally illegal for trans people to use the bathroom there.

Your trans friends and colleagues are going to be silently judging you for hosting events in a place it's illegal for them to exist when there's lots of other states to pick from.

If you still have an account on academia.edu, you should probably delete it.

I'm not sure how their new terms are legal: they give the site the right to use your data *in any manner*. This is mainly to help them scrape academic work and republish/mangle parts of it through AI without credit: but these terms go way beyond that into your likeness, your voice, even your signature.

Please boost this to academics you know. Further PSA elements in thread:
