Can you trap a galaxy in a crystal ball? I tried! Back in 2018 I took this image of the Milky Way through a crystal ball from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile.

✨ HELLO FEDIVERSE ✨

I'm working on an introductory #book about #decentralisation protocols. 🦄

It serves as a taster for different technologies, and provides you with a path forward to deepen your studies if you're so inclined.

I'll cover #ActivityPub, #Hyper, #IPFS, and #SSB. Each chapter is a brief intro and a hands-on project using #JavaScript.

The book will be CC licensed. If that sounded interesting, add yourself to the interested readers list at:

My notes on building a KVM with a Raspberry are online.
If you’re interested, they are available here https://www.tumfatig.net/2022/pikvm-using-a-raspberry-pi-zero-2w/

we just released version 1.0.3 of our introduction to #uxn programming book!

in this update we finally included a description and examples of the screen auto byte: an advanced feature of the screen device that makes it easier to draw multiple sprites with fewer instructions. we use it for the pong example on day 6!

we also updated the description of the file devices, and implemented some minor corrections.

hope you enjoy it!

This is worth sharing.

It's an animated GIF where every frame is a valid QR code that leads to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" rickroll.

That's kind of amazing.

@mattcropp Alas, I am not on Twitter, but I would urge people to look at Luis Razeto's Manual for Creating Solidarity Enterprises, already being used by co-ops in the Worcester MA and Denver CO: https://geo.coop/articles/how-create-solidarity-enterprise

Who else in my fedi bubble is into #CreativeWriting? I want to follow more people here who are into writing and storytelling.

Please boost for reach, I'm trying to find my tribe! :D
