  • I went through my stored logins to migrate the vast majority of my accounts one by one (and deleted quite a few old and forgotten ones in the process). Took a couple of hours, but went mostly well.

    For everything that I might have missed, I have gmail set up to forward everything to my new address. The new address (I went with posteo myself) has a filter that automatically moves stuff addressed to gmail to a separate folder. Whenever something ends up in there, I go and migrate or delete the account.









  • There was a specific number that was repeated across a lot of papers in my field, always citing the same source.

    That source did have the number, but it cited another paper for it, which itself cited yet an older paper. Im not sure where the citations went bad, but that last paper for not actually contain the value everyone waschain-attributing to it.

    The number was fortunately still correct though (and people would have noticed pretty quickly if it wasn’t).
