I've decided to offer *512GB* NVMe SSDs, instead of 240GB NVMe, on the base specs for all computers sold at https://minifree.org/
1TB/2TB NVMe upgrade also available like before. The 512GB option is the same price as the 240GB option was.
Libreboot pre-installed, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware. Your choice of Debian Linux, other Linux distro or a BSD system.
Libreboot offers greater security and boot speeds than the vendor firmware. I'm Libreboot's founder; sales fund development.

Just made a donation to the OpenBSD foundation to support the project 
We need to reach that funding goal 
OpenBSD support matters, keeping competition between open source operating systems is important for innovation and security

My electric screwdriver wasn't giving me enough torque and I remembered this little gem
spent some time video recording (what i assume to be) an old pamphlet from days of the democratic socialist party here in australia.
i turned it into a video essay. it is 22 minutes long, so not for the faint of heart.
i think the pamphlet does a great job of giving a summary of marxist class analysis--the cornerstone of radical leftism's science of socialist revolution.
Any headline that starts with “Elon Musk says” should be followed by a warning label, like a can of rat poison: “Do not ingest unless you want your brain to leak out”
#OpenBSD is superb if you're the lazy type like me
Besides checking logs once in a while, I've basically not done anything in close to 4 years
If your web stack is Perl+SQLite based, you can basically roll with the default install
My project to document #Elite on the #Commodore64 is now complete. I hope you enjoyed it!
It's time for a Christmas break now, but I'll be back with the Apple II version in the new year.
In the meantime, here's the finished #C64 site for you to explore:

We're here on Europa for the (Jupiter-) annual molting of the ice worms. Then it's on to Titan for the cryo-beet harvest. The orbits are out of whack this season so we skip Neptune. Then the long slog back to the Mercurian tin fields. Not as lonely being a migratory field worker since they fucked up Earth; lots of new friends. Hey, you'll want to vantablack those radiator fins on your EVA, you'll get another 20% efficiency. No wukkers, always good to help out a new-chum.
Visual 6502's wiki appears to be hard-down. Does anyone know if it'll be fixed? :(
i suppose this is not a problem with package managers as a concept,
but i feel like the discoverability of packages is quite bad when i apt search in debian or guix search in guix etc.
successfully finding a relevant package usually requires going onto the internet and using a search engine.
the naming scheme of packages is wildly different across distributions. when i am looking for a python dependency, is it py3- or py- ? how are the stems -utils, -doc, or -tools to be applied?
in addition to this, it seems to me that the metadata for most packages is seriously lacking--meaning that packages are only included in search results in the shell if you just happen to know the exact terms they actually include.
