• The Texas Instruments CC-40 invades Gopherspace.
• Long Dog (and other elongated animals).
• “domestic livestock“.
• The Mysterious Forces Steering Views on Hacker News.  (via)
• The one-click Navidrome bandcamp purchase sync.
• 5 social media platforms that are actually social.
• how to repurpose your old phone into a web server.  (via)
• Archiving with Are.na.
• Dinosaurs Were Weirder Than We Ever Imagined.
• NASA supplies free science e-books.  (via)
• Open Source Power.  A good contrast on license types and what they do as a result.  (via)
• An initial analysis of the discovered Unix V4 tape.  Firsthand account, not a news summary.
• On self-managing Postgres.  Not wrong, though I still pick self-hosting.
• RuBee, the protocol.
• Ultima IV for Apple II, Remastered.  (via)

Upcoming event(s): NYCBUG’s got events on the 7th and the 10th, within the next few days.  Attend if you can.
