Выбор воды — решающий момент в успешном чаепитии. Вода либо раскрывает чай правильно и вкусно, либо меняет интенсивность оттенков в худшую сторону, оставляя нас с носом и невкусным чаем.

Черноголовка и Святой Источник норм. У Черноголовки смешные бутылки в 2.5 л, это им в плюс

When Brent Chapman’s doctor first pitched him on the idea of having one of his own teeth surgically embedded in his eye to restore his sight, he says he felt “a little apprehensive.”

A way to be on the web!

Apparently, there are quite some games for Minetest released. Most are Minecraft clones, as expected, but some are not. Maybe that would be a good platform for a game I have wanted to make for 4 years already?

Trying to make the case for permanent irrevocable digital identities, which unfortunately today, by de-facto, are email addresses.

An app that lets you add various links and displays them in a column layout. You can create a unified dashboard of several social networks, news feeds, and such with it.

This project is meant to run as a standalone service to deliver posts from your own website to ActivityPub followers. You can run your own website at your own domain, and this service can handle the ActivityPub-specific pieces needed to let people follow your own website from Mastodon or other compatible services.

A classic rant on uxn and programming. Uxn is done for.

Uxn says it's about permacomputing and vintage computing, the author of the article says it's not and proves it.

The author insists on a relation to permacomputing. Their page on permacomputing describes frugal computing and salvage computing as principles of permacomputing, defining them as "utilizing computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible", and "utilizing only already available computational resources, to be limited by that which is already produced." The author is part of a collective that wanted to replace all the "bloated" software they used, due to having little energy storage on their sailboat. Using software design techniques to reduce power usage, and to allow continued use of old computers is a good idea, but the uxn machine has quite the opposite effect, due to inefficient implementations and a poorly designed virtual machine, which does not lend itself to writing an efficient implementation easily.

Devine then mentioned it, and a discussion followed.

An experiment in mycofabrication; conducted in collaboration with Ganoderma lucidum and harnessing the power of the Sun.

The OpenBSD operating system is known to be secure, but also for having an accurate and excellent documentation. In this text, I'll try to figure out what makes the OpenBSD documentation so great.

UPD 2025. The page says the project is no longer actively developed.
