I have, for a long time, wanted to try to make my own sail maker's palm (a leather device worn on the hand, used to push the heavy needles used by traditional sail makers through canvas) but couldn't find the little metal bits that do the actual pushing online. So no I'm making my own down at the Rochester makerspace on this fine #SunDIY

You should absolutely buy books that you can afford to buy (or have an employer buy on your behalf) to enrich your journey through the field of computering.
That said, if you ever needed to take a quick peek at some computer book that you cannot find in your local library (you do use your local library, right?) you might want to do some spelunking around https://doc.lagout.org/science/0_Computer%20Science/
Ventoy is awesome. You install it to an external drive, then drop bootable ISOs onto it. Boot to it and you get a menu for which ISO to choose. It’s going to become a standard part of my ISO testing process, because I can leave old versions and compare. https://www.ventoy.net

The power and rhetoric that went unchecked becomes common. And the tactics used against Black women for “lulz” become weapons used in the conspiracies destabilizing the very nature of truth, from the swarming of victims to posing as Black women to destabilizing communities"-S Harry

I'm debugging a panic in librsvg when it renders small objects. Turns out that Cairo detects a too-small matrix when rendering a gradient, which, fine, but the code upstream turns the INVALID_MATRIX into a NULL, and the calling code turns that into NO_MEMORY, and that's what gets propagated to librsvg.
Cairo is in really bad shape :(
