OK, this is different from my usual fare, but I’ve been thinking about upgrading my home LAN to 10GbE. My WAN connection is now more than 1Gbit and so I’m maxxing out the link. Finding kit that works on Linux (and even, shudder, FreeBSD), though, is somewhat tricky.
These are my notes on Smits, Robert-Jan, and Rachael Pells, Plan S for Shock (London: Ubiquity Press, 2022) https://doi.org/10.5334/bcq, originally taken on Twitter. They just constitute thoughts I had while reading the book, as opposed to any form of structural review. I must say that the ToC has raised my hackles a little already. “Know when it is done; plan an exit”. We’re far from done.
This post forms part of my ‘aspects of the novel’ collection. Please do note that these entries, which may appear basic, are simply my own notes on the subject. They implicitly or explicitly describe a canon not of my own making or choosing and replicate this from various sources. The original encyclopaedia articles are far more comprehensive, nuanced and worth consulting.

This is a post to document the setup that I use when I want quickly to create a great functional command-line python application with ORM database support. Django ORM The Django ORM is an incredibly powerful database tool that lets you design models in python and then persist them to the database. Django, though, is primarily a web framework. I don’t want that in a command-line app, but it is possible to use the ORM without other components.

As part of my ongoing quest to try to ensure that as much of my work is as accessible as possible, I was negotiating a contract with Bloomsbury Academic, asking for permission to deposit. It turns out that Bloomsbury already have a process for this. If you follow it, you are allowed to deposit “the final Version of Record”, albeit not under an open license. Still, this could be very good indeed.
One of the challenges for the open access movement has been to work out how to transition from a model in which libraries build their own local collections to one in which they fund open access. The model of article and book processing charges has led us to believe that these are different activities.
