EDIT: Man, this did numbers! Thanks to all who keep boosting! It makes my heart sing. I will update the update when/if anything changes. :BigBlobhajHug:

Ok, oddly specific ask, but if ANYONE has one of these laying around doing nothing, can I buy it from you? Early 2000s Lucent wifi yagi. It's a nostalgia item, but it will be used. Throw me a message or something if you have one and don't want $250 for it.

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) :blobcatrainbow: A hot bath/shower with regular lights off and just a string of fairy lights in the window, clean comfy clothes, a nice pot of tea, a heated super-plush throw blanket, and a (digital or hard copy) stack of well-written books in your favorite genre. If digital, an e-ink screen to read them on. Add non-human companions as desired.*

Rosalia album

I can't do the new Rosalia album, sorry. By far the most interesting part of her new album is the track with Björk on it, and like, I'd much rather just listen to Björk.

The album is eminating inauthentic vibes to me. Listening to it a couple more times would let me phrase it better, but I'm not going to put myself through that lol.

I hate ‘self-taught’. You’re not self-taught, you’re community taught. Self-taught is erasing all the work that allowed you to learn from freely available materials and people.

It’s a poor phrase for the idea that you are degreeless. And there’s nothing wrong with skipping formal education.

I've never been a fan of reggae, but my dad took me to see this when I was... 15 or so, and I've always loved this scene.

(Dad led a church youth group that visited Jamaica and helped paint a school or something, back in the 70s.)

"Sun Ultra 1 Creator Series Hardware AnswerBook" CD ripped: https://megatokyo.moe/dl/doc/sun/cdrom/Sun_Ultra_1_Creator_Series_Hardware_AnswerBook_704-5122-12_august_1996_835-0013/
Some of the documents on there appear to be available in similar forms elsewhere, but the formatting of the text seems to be significantly different. I converted the postscript files on the CD to PDF format

New post from me over on the @spritelyThe Spritely Institute blog: Composing capability security and conflict-free replicated data types

Local-first apps often use CRDTs, but I'm not really aware of any that fully embrace capability security. This post is an attempt to show how the two can be composed using a simple group chat application as a case study.

Digital sovereignty can only be achieved with Free Software! That’s why, in our feedback to the Germany Stack consultation, we call for the Stack to be implemented entirely as Free Software.

Read our news item:
fsfe.org/news/2025/news-202511

Our feedback on openCode:
gitlab.opencode.de/dstack/d-st (DE)

The Germany Stack consultation runs until 30 November 2025. Until then, everyone can submit feedback via openCode.
