A Markdown document that has 24 possible renderings, depending on the renderer.

Using NetBSD and proxied by a Caddy installation somewhere else. No caching. Works well for some reason. A cheap VPS is still cheaper than what the author pays for electricity for this setup though, despite them saying otherwise.

The world sees Japan as a paragon of minimalism. But its hidden clutter culture shows that ‘more’ can be as magical as ‘less’

A paper about the old NoteCards program. I printed it out on an office printer and read it, unlike most other papers I saved in this Betula.

Organizing data in notecards, linking them. Notecards are not scrollable. Fileboxes and Browsers, special notecards. They state the system is programmable, but no detailed description of programmability is given. Interface is not really detailed.

Overall, this paper is not enough. I shall look for more.

Fast, modern and advanced photo management suite. Free and open source Nextcloud app.

A source-control branching model, where developers collaborate on code in a single branch called ‘trunk’ *,
resist any pressure to create other long-lived development branches by employing documented techniques. They

that's no garden. it's a mortal abyss. and i find a lot of meaning staring into it.

Половина июня позади. Друзья и родственники собираются на самый шведский из всех шведских праздников: Мидсоммар.

Лендинг солнцестояния.

A collection of bad practices. Some of them I like!

Say hello to our new logo and app icon. This is the story behind our new branding, which we designed to reflect the principles Obsidian is built on.

It looks like a primordial arrowhead from literal obsidian. There is also a fun color toy on the page.

How to Write Shell Scripts and don’t go ballistic in the process.

Japan operates with an Island metaphysic, where resources are finite in space (Japan is an island nation) but infinite in time (by virtue of natural regeneration). The West operates with a Faustian metaphysic, where resources are infinite in space (by virtue of conquest) and infinite in time. It's interesting to see these metaphysical realities manifest in something as ordinary as tool manufacture.

Our motto, ARMA ACRI FACIENDA VIRO, comes from Book VIII of The Aeneid when Vulcan commands the cyclopes to "Forge arms fit for a hero".
