I have written a short post with the details of my setup:

let me know if it need clarification or improvement! 😄

I'm looking for literature (articles, blog posts, books) that covers "succession planning" for IT/sysadmin in activist groups. Like, for a volunteer group, what happens if your IT person just leaves? What are best practices so that the group isn't locked out of their web hosting etc (simply through lack of information rather than malice on the previous IT person's fault)

Which are the things you learned/are learning during your PhD, that you value the most?

Hey #French #art scholars, any of you familiar with a fellow named Pierre Grach, alias Phili?

It's time to read about hate speech. Any recommendations? Research papers, studies?

Any good resources for working with categorical/ordinal data in ? (and in general?)

I've been considering a VPN & have got a headache researching them. I know that I should NOT trust free VPNs, but even among paid services, things are murky. So far, VyperVPN, ExpressVPN are at the top of my list. Does anyone have any thoughts, recommendations, warnings they like to share?

What publications/journals do you all tend to get substantial, reliable information about politics beyond the drip-feed of media soundbites?

2 of my favourites are New Left Review
https://newleftreview.org/

and London Review of Books
https://www.lrb.co.uk/

Which others do I need to know?

Anyone know any good OER, open ed. resources, for college English comp? I'm pushing for my department to ditch overpriced textbooks & replacing them with free, trustworthy online items.

Does anyone know of any good histories (or theoretical analyses) of Italian far left politics in the 20th century? Specifically with a focus on terrorism, and the various uses thereof in civil and other conflicts.

I am interested in why (as seems to be the case) the Red Brigades and other organizations like them failed to achieve most, if not all, of their political aims, and acted in (what I now initially judge to be) self-undermining ways.

Hello World. I have started studying R on DataCamp and I will also be starting a post graduate course on Statistics in a University. Would anyone have any book recommendations or resources for someone trying to move into Data Science? I have a background in Business Intelligence but interested in Sociology

Anyone got any favorite resources on early computer and/or internet history? Reading Paul Ceruzzi's work & looking for other avenues.
