"There Ain’t No Such Thing As Plain Text" makes me immediately think of Dylan Beattie's brilliant "Plain Text" talk: youtube.com/watch?v=_mZBa3… and all the assumptions we make when we say something is a "plain text file" #DigitalPreservation

"There Ain’t No Such Thing As Plain Text" - "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023" or every #DigitalPreservation practitioner, I might add tonsky.me/blog/unicode/

"PRONOM" is very near and dear to my heart" @Britpunk80 in the first (long) paper from the "From Theory to Practice" session: "A Question of Character: How do we automatically recharacterize data at cloud scales?" #iPRES2023

Keynote speak Sherry Williams reflecting that smaller historical societies often rely on voluntary staff and have small staffing capacities; as vendors we need to make sure that our systems can meet these use cases #ipres2023

@JamesPreservica @euanc And the wrong headers 😄 The problem with ChatGPT for this kind of thing at the moment is that it won't admit that it doesn't know how to do what you're asking it, all I want is for it to say "I'm sorry I can't do that, Dave"

@euanc Apart from the wrong endpoints and the wrong payloads it looks fine 🫣🫣 It should have suggested using pypreservica.readthedocs.io That would have been a more "Intelligent" answer. 😀

@laurenlaverne @BBC6Music How about Higher Than Reason by The Unbelievable Truth, late brit-pop/shoegazer. Remember the video getting heavy rotation on Eddy Temple-Morris' MTV show in the late 90s

@BertrandCaron @CHLThor @videolan Everything identifies as MP3 😄 There is a fairly lax signature that just matches the MP3 frame header, which is a relatively short byte sequence repeating at varying offsets, which is not entirely unexpected in a number of other formats (without meaning MP3 frame header)

Looks like people are interested in these threads about file formats knowledge (MP3, JPEG, PDFs...), but would it fit in a talk? If yes, to what kind of conference ? Infosec, digipres...? WDYT ?

@euanc @anjacks0n @SharonMcMeekin Yeah, it's the transformation of content from one file format to another, the aim being to decode the original data and re-encode it using a different mechanism such that a different software stack can surface the same information. And yeah, would like to help, time permitting

@BertrandCaron @hypothesesorg Je n'étais pas au courant, mais c'est excitant de voir un projet qui utilise un projet qu'on a developpé! Merci pour ta contribution Bertrand!
