  1. powered machine is ready for the race.

  2. If you never read Harry Potter and Methods of Rationality, somewhere in the middle of the book you will find the explanation of Tor/i2p anonymity mechanism using Slytherin's message delivery approach with nested envelopes and several people in the delivery chain.

    It's DRM-free ebook, BTW.

  3. Live-Hacking a Qt App with Guile Scheme.

    Just for fun.

  4. Could your recommend a source of good wallpapers? or some particular cool ones?

    Usually, I have plain gray background and light high contrast color schemes in terminal, browser and text editor. I want to experiment with transparency and (probably) dark color scheme, as light doesn't play well with opacity.

    My first attempt: it looks nice-ish, but I feel much more strain on the eyes. Maybe I can workaround with better ?

  5. TIL: There is a nix/guix-like package manager written in Jannet lang (Clojure-like alternative to Guile/Lua).

    github.com/andrewchambers/herm

    It seems dead, but still an interesting effort.

  6. grub on Guix now asks password only once for LUKS encrypted disk! It took quite some time, but I'm happy we are finally here! :D

    Kudos to Danny Milosavljevic for fixing it!

  7. I wanted to try darcs and pijul vcs for quite sometime, but never had enough motivation, because it completely new ecosystems with different tooling.

    Recently I learned about Jujutsu, which reuses fundamental ideas of darcs, but uses git as a storage backend, so I can use it with existing projects and tools.
