Zlib data compressor fixes 17-year-old security bug – patch, errrm, now
Right?
I wonder how many containers, snaps, flatpaks, staticly-linked binaries, etc. use their own copies of the library instead of the system one.

As part of my exploration of #IndieWeb, web gardening, and #11ty, I’m collecting some of my reviews from old blog posts, amazon, etc. at https://hyperborea.org/reviews/ as a way to continue refining the minimalist layout for more use cases. I’m also starting to write new ones!
I’m cross-posting the book reviews to @bookwyrm as a more topical way to bring them into the Fediverse than just linking on Mastodon.
For some of my posts I’ve manually converted the files so I can fine-tune it.
For some of my posts I’ve manually converted the files so I can fine-tune it. But I have one site I’m auto-generating, and I’ve done a mix of site- and page-specific code like @kensanata (ex. for web links that have a corresponding #gemini location, or removing images by class), adjusting the source to convert more nicely where appropriate, and just letting some of it sit there looking weird for now.

(We finally watched Encanto last week…and again…and again…and the kid has been watching every remix he can find on YouTube. Repeatedly.)
Birds of Madrona Marsh
#Birds of #MadronaMarsh. There were a zillion red-winged blackbirds, at least one group of goldfinches, some starlings, and of course the usual geese and ducks.

Fantasy maps, spoilers for Middlegame
The quadrants of mythical fantasy worlds are important to the alchemical geography. There’s a remark about switching west to east from Oz to another author’s world. That confused me, since the text of the books and all the maps I’d seen in them clearly showed it matching:
East=Blue/Munchkins,
West=Yellow/Winkies.
Turns out the Oz map was printed backward the first time it appeared.
Switching directions is real-world canon!

Tor is offering a free e-book of Seanan McGuire’s Middlegame this week!
It’s really, really good. Sort of a modern horror fantasy focusing on alchemy and time loops with characters who have been created to be superhuman at things like math, language, order, chaos, etc.
Possibly my favorite of her books that I’ve read. Definitely recommended!

So, picking up my glasses from my desk was enough to jostle the mouse and wake up the computer, but not enough to knock over the quarter that I stood on edge last night right next to where I set my glasses down.

Which means all the autoreplies and bounces and complaints and challenge-responses and everything are going out to the same list.
And they’ve got a lot of website contact emails on the list too, so I’m getting random tech support ticket confirmations and thanks-for-your-interest and so on along with everything else.

I have no idea how I managed to lose my sunglasses halfway through a walk without stopping to set anything down.
Thinking about this, I did take them off in the shade. I probably put them in my pocket and then they fell out somewhere along the way.
