Alright, here it is: I am going to be making a zine every month this year out of newly public domain materials from 1923. I just launched a Kickstarter for subscriptions, which are capped at 100! Please back and share :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/887675031/1923-a-monthly-zine-of-public-domain-treasures

^ doing this, probably launching it tomorrow :)

I'm a little frustrated about how this new Tor feature appears to mostly be documented through rumors and speculation, but this @mtigas guide was super helpful https://gist.github.com/mtigas/9c2386adf65345be34045dace134140b

ugh this was a ridiculous problem to debug. Many attempts later: the Tor Browser on my box doesn't yet include tor 0.3.5.7, so it didn't recognize the ClientOnionAuthDir flag and kept failing silently

Tor question: does the ClientOnionAuthDir have to be in a specific place, or with specific properties? (i.e. permissions or ownership or something?) Just adding the line to my Tor Browser's torrc makes the whole thing crash on start-up

thank you

I'm now a Java developer btw

apparently

I got a pull request merged into signal-cli! Very exciting milestone for me :)

Spent all morning wresting with timezones, but if I'd really learned my lesson I would've said I spent all afternoon (UTC) wrestling with timezones

I'm doing a 5-day Mini Batch at Recurse Center this week. Focusing on some Signal-related software I've gotten to the prototype stage and want to wrap up.

By the way, in case you've wondered, "stationary" and "stationery" are etymological doublets https://www.reddit.com/r/etymology/comments/4v8n9x/useless_etymology_on_the_distinction_between/

You might think, "Don't you mean stationery store?" To which I'd reply: no, it was most importantly fixed in position, it just happened to sell paper

I saw a kit for a "DIY Gender Reveal Party" in a normie stationary store and as long as the first word modifies the second and not the fourth I gotta say I love it

I want to commit to a particular year-long project in the next couple of days but I think I need a pep talk before I can pull the trigger

Should I spend $100 on these
