I saw a clip about the new Culdcept Begins and it made me think. My “new” 2/3DS is still in decent shape. These are the last three console games I remember playing:

• Ketzal’s Corridors (2012) (3DS) (Video)
• Culdcept Revolt (2017) (3DS) (Video)
• The Alliance Alive (2018) (3DS) (Video)

Four sans-serif fonts that have good legibility (the last one having been designed especially so):

• Archia
• Luciole
• IBM Plex
• Atkinson Hyperlegible Next

There are a lot more speech programs on Linux now. I was a bit curious and searched through the distribution package managers recently.

• Live Captions
• Linux Voice Control
• Speech Note
• Nerd Dictation
• Sherpa Speech
• Piper
• Numen

Some use Vosk or Onnx as runtimes.

I was told that it’s great that there’s lots of links here. Links are kind of a chore, but an obsessive habit (from academic times). There’s some semi automation happening but the main downsides are:

1. Checking if they still work
2. Checking if relevancy hasn’t changed

The other con || pro (take your pick):

3. Friends more in the know, may dissect && tear you a new one when the content and the link disagree (with reality).

Insanely knowledgeable people are also out there online too. On occasion, when I bother with emails, I always end up learning extremely fascinating stuff.

Jargon is strangely funny out of context. I have a crude setup that de-jargons and disambiguates stuff, which causes those of you much more knowledgeable than me to ??? occasionally.

• git clone - foolish person doppelganger?
• chromium - the metal?
• codium - drugs?
• terminals - airports?
• prompt - fast?
• posse - gangs?

Maybe the best kind of educational mischief looks just wrong enough to prompt an AI assisted investigation. I’ve surprisingly tricked quite a few people into understanding web feeds.

I know there’s a lot of interest in meshes (and alternative networks). I tried out a yggdrasil mesh for a good whole ten minutes or so some planets ago. I have notes running around somewhere in the (a)ether.

• GNUnet
• Zeronet
• Freenet/Hyphanet
• Invisible Internet
• The Onion Router
• Inter–Planetary File System
• WireGuard
• Yggdrasil
• Gemini

If I can hack a good intuition on networking this (new) year, I’ll perform my final pseudo disappearing act.

Contact forms are magical informants. Can you smell what kind of spam the spammers (and scammers) are cooking?

1. AI traffic/content farming services
2. Blockchain services
3. Coin recovery services
4. Guest posters for any of the above
5. Link sellers
6. Cloaking dealers
7. Cyber security spooks
8. Rich people asking us poor people for money
9. Visionary astrologers and foretellers

Incus is worth a look. It’s the fork of LXD, a container and vm orchestration/hypervisor program for cluster setups and infra models. Incus sits on top of the lower level LXC (Linux Containers).

Two newer meta-ish search engines for encyclopedias (about 30+ wikis):

• https://encyclosearch.org/
• https://encycloreader.org/

The best CSS Framework? I don’t know. Complexity moves in mysterious ways. The many interpretations soc model must be satisfied.

1. CSS in CSS (canonical)
2. CSS in HTML (write once and time driven)
3. CSS in JavaScript (framework driven)
4. CSS in Shadow DOM (company/department driven)
5. CSS in Scoped Formats (IDE driven)
6. CSS in Preprocessors (design system driven)

I’d say, choices reflect environmental factors (social or otherwise) at play. If you’re lucky enough to choose, then suitability favors what draws the finish line closer?

I’ve no advice since I’d rarely have the time/luxury to choose anyway. I’m usually thinking about the possibility of more types, sub–types (i.e in #1: bem, classless, etc), and the transposition strategy and speed between each class/type.
