A new #illumos distribution, #unleashed, has just been released. Looking at 1.0 release notes[*], the project seems to aim at being a modern amd64 general-purpose system, importing part of #freebsd/ #openbsd 's userland, while dropping maintainership of legacy and obsolete #opensolaris code

Introduce yourself to the neutral-good god Paletius, brother of Camus. God of knowledge, magick, and the sun.
That's this week's Chronicles & Commons, the only #podcast dedicated to #rpg #lore, much less to #open #creativecommons lore!
On this week's GNU World Order: A buncha listener feedback, GNU World Order on something called a "Mycroft", with a few tips and tricks, courtesy of *you*.
@kensanata Does H&H use THAC0 ? I'm about half way through the monsters and it's all making a lot more sense if it's THAC0 based, so I'm assuming that's what's going on.
Confirm?
Linlap.info REMINDER
*Linux Laptop Wiki [Rebooted]*
The aim of the website is to provide a central wiki to post experiences with Linux on the model of laptop / notebook you're using.
An attempt to 'reboot' the abandoned and spammed linlap dot com which is now unusable.
Please consider participating on building a new "HQ" sending in your model / experiences!
Any help appreciated!

@klaatu Eight reasons you should be using Scheme (specifically, the Guile implementation):
1. Imperative programming and anonymous functions.
2. Coming soon... guild package manager.
3. Predictable syntax:
> (define i 1)
> (when (= i 1) 'hi)
'hi
> (unless (< i 1) #t)
#t
4. Arrays, dicts, tables, and arrays-of-arrays are out (mostly). Pairs are in!
5. Tabs are optional.
6. C bindings, so hooking up a game engine wouldn't be too hard.
7. GUI Frameworks.
8. Used by the GUIX package manager.

I have Nextcloud, Syncthing, Gitea, Pleroma and rTorrent on one Raspberry Pi. And it uses 500MB of RAM. How cool is that?
Nevermind. Found out the answer. CANNOT just remove the overheating part and still have a functional device.
So, suggestions for a good ARM board? #beagleboard ? pine? what's a good #open #arm board these days?
If my #raspberrypi knock-off is starting to smell of melting plastic, and it has lost USB function, that probably means it's for decoration only now, right? Time to replace? Or is there a chance that I could just desolder the thing that's overheating and keep using it over SSH?
The incomparable Andy Steward wrote a new #Emacs extension allowing us to run any #Qt program in Emacs to extend Emacs!? I’m just staring at the screenshots.

Whose idea was it to switch NZ off of good old-fashioned wooden C47s to plastic ones? I hang the laundry to dry, the pegs bake in the sun until crumble with the barest pressure. Really annoying.

What do people who are named Roger do if they are in the military? Do they get a different name or do they just have to suffer hundreds of false positives all day long?
Very cool idea. I've been looking at Lua lately as a good intro language for students at the school where I volunteer, because it has the excellent LÖVE game engine for quick GUI results, and its syntax is more predictable than, say, Python.
But HECCLE looks like it could be pretty appealing, if done right.
