I recently read “The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands” by Sarah Brooks. I didn’t especially enjoy it, but it might fit your bill. The setting is explicitly multicultural and incorporates real-world ethnicities, but cultural difference is not an important theme. No stereotypes jumped out at me, although one might argue that some amount of cultural appropriation is necessarily involved when White authors write protagonists of color.

When I was 10 years old my father told me the grain joke. Do you know it? This extra-terrestrial reports on her travels through space. She has studied the earth. ‘‘An interesting planet’’, she says, ‘‘it is inhabited by grasses of various sizes. Some live in shallow water and others on dry land. They all have two legged creatures working for them. These creatures eliminate other plants so that the grasses may grow without being disturbed too much. They also keep hungry beasts away. At the end of a season, the creatures carefully assemble the grains of the grasses, so as to sow them again on the next possible occasion and set a new cycle in motion. The creatures keep a few grains for themselves to feed on, but overall they expand the grasses’ living space a bit more every year. It is very impressive’’.

I have never bothered about alternative kernels. The only time I seriously researched other kernels was when I was considering trying out GUIX about five years ago, but I only felt reassured in using Linux as a result of that research.

True, but no way this is a bolete.

Very hard to tell from this picture. Wild guess would be some sort of Pluteus, but more angles / closeup of stem and gills would be needed to say with even a modicum of certainty.

The way I usually start teaching using the console to my (very much non-tech) students is set up a safe container and then let them type whatever, invariably generating a lot of error messages. Then I challenge them to generate different error messages, “gotta catch em all” style. Then we talk about the error messages and what they might mean. After this exercise they usually get the basic idea of command – response, what to look out for and how to compose valid commands.

Jiminy Cricket, imagine not being able to tell the difference between an error code and an image of an error code, and imagine subsequently, for some reason, not immediately inspecting the HTTP request and response. Sounds like a very real #programming #devops problem.

I don’t know of such an alternative. A quick solution would be to use something like GeoNotes to take geolocated notes.

As far as a self-hosted solution goes, I’d just like to point out that you wouldn’t need a self-hosted database of places. You could query Ouverture (or Google, OSM, etc.) for places near you, and you’d just need to store the check-in on your server with a basic API. This is an interesting problem, and not super hard to implement.

This sounds like a good idea, but I think the problem here is that a lot of popular software runs great on Linux but is very clunky and ugly on other systems (looking at you, LibreOffice). So keep that in mind if you try out FOSS on Windows as a sneak peek.

Navigation on Android: Osmand lets you download and cache OSM data so you can use it offline. Cache is unlimited if you download Osmand via F-Droid.

You can put together a media server and build a catalogue so you can watch movies and series offline. Maybe not a huge priority in that situation but definitely nice to have.

Jellyfin is a good option for streaming from a media server to other devices. The *arr suite is an option for building the catalogue.

I understand it’s easy, but I don’t want to sully my omnipotent flake with a casual nixpkgs.follows = "nixos-cosmic/nixpkgs";. It’s probably fine, but I can wait.

Interesting, I prefer it left at room temperature overnight (semi-sealed in the rice cooker). Out of the fridge I find it too hard to break down and stir, and frozen seems even more cumbersome.

I’m waiting for Cosmic to be merged into NixOS stable which I learned is just around the corner (May). I’m super excited because Cosmic seems to strike a sensible balance between polished, full-featured, make-everyone-happy mainstream DE and performance-oriented tiling WM.

Although I’ve never tested the Alpha, I have a feeling that I might finally make the switch (from Gnome) on my daily driver once it’s mature enough.
