Readers,
Wojtek Bogusz, a digital security consultant for Frontline Defenders, who provides training and advice to human rights activists on how to increase privacy and freedom of communication in repressive environments will be giving a talk tonight in the Science Gallery Dublin. If you’re interested in attending please book on the website. I will be there to introduce Wojtek. It’s very well worth attending if you’re interested in things like Wifi security and protecting yourself from hacking.

It doesn’t seem to have received much publicity, but the HSE has started publishing historical documents, particularly from Grangegorman Mental Hospital in the 1950s.

All mental hospital records from this era should be digitised.
Here is the Commission of inquiry on mental illness: 1966 report, which was already subject to OCR by the HSE. Thank you.
