The kid decided to put up our 2-person dome tent (that hasn’t been used in a decade, if at all, since I can’t remember if we bought it to replace the previous one that was falling apart just before or just after our last camping trip, which was definitely before he was born).

Inside.

In his room.

Which he had to clean. Or at least shove stuff to the side.

I’m told it “sorta fits” 😆

Updated zlib, should prevent this security vulnerability, right?

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. 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.

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!

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!
