If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.

Good ol' Biden, making the world hate us once again. Say what you will about Trump but it was nice having 1/3 the usual military deployed and engaging in peace talks with the enemies way better strategy than a policy of "we refuse to come to the negotiating table" and then bomb them instead.
@clacke Is zapping enabled in xorg.conf? then you can at least use c-a-bs

@tengumatingpress As of today, all Plan 9 and Inferno versions are under the MIT license. Whole bunch of interesting third-party development for it (notably treason, so you can play videos on it), kernel continues receiving work, and Inferno just had a 64-bit version released a few days ago. Cool stuff needless to say

good thing with outrages like the current rms stuff is that one knows who to trust and who is likely to backstab you :)

Want something like Discord that can never be acquired by a FAANG company? Try Matrix! :D

Hmm, I think the machine should be just fast enough to browse the web with several Electron apps running.
@wolf480pl Oh right, I guess I was only thinking about CNAMEs inside one domain.
@wolf480pl Then the authoritative server would be making queries on behalf of someone else which I thought was generally considered poor design.
@wolf480pl You'd be responsible for updating the glue records for name servers from other domains then. Stuff would break more often.
@wolf480pl You definitely can't get rid of NS records though so even without getting CNAME records back you'd still have the problem.
@wolf480pl You certainly could write a DNS server that does this, I'm sure they exist. It can be nice to have the option to do it in the protocol and DNS already has plenty of situations where you have to make another query to get an answer back.
@silverhax Is the source posted anywhere? I was thinking about making a custom stand for mine.

So, uhm, Microsoft wants to buy Discord for $10 Billion.
Just comes to show how much your data is worth to Surveillance Capitalists.
@icedquinn Some schemes also do #! !#
