@dianawastaken @dodecadron @rspfau and then there is Peter Higgs, with less than ten papers and a Nobel.
It's a bit strange to talk about, because so many scientists work their butt off to publish maybe few papers a year. But hyper-publication in a relatively small number of labs skews standards and expectations for everyone else. And, depending on the scale, it compromises the integrity of the whole peer review process, without necessarily producing any meaningful products.

Maybe I ask my question again here:
Is there a way to search by file type and size in NextCloud?
After my Google photos export, I have a ton of JSON files that I would like to select and delete.
hi there! In Nextcloud Files, you can filter files in your library by type (top of the list) or sort them by size by clicking on the Size column header.
As for the event announcement – right, it seems like a timing issue. We will announce the next meetup here when we have it planned: help.nextcloud.com/

For those wanting boot to GUI there are alternatives such as SDDM.
FreeBSD 15 installed KDE without startx, had to install xinit to fix that. Happy now 😁
