WE DID IT. My new zine “How Git Works" is out now!

You can get it here for $12: wizardzines.com/zines/git

The cover illustration depicts three people tending to trees in an enchanted sparkly forest. Each of the people has long curly brown hair, light brown skin, pointed ears, and wears a long blue dress. They have various gardening tools, like scythes and trowels with them, and one carries a bag with an image of a slice of watermelon. One is pouring an urn of water onto the roots of a tree. The trees are filled with birds and squirrels, and with pieces of paper with illustrations of fruit with various facial expressions on them. The illustrations of fruit are slightly different from one tree to another.

If you are aged 30 or more, then 50% of all human fossil fuel emissions happened during your lifetime. (by Neil Kaye)
This diagram shows the percentage of global fossil fuel emission occurring in a lifetime in bars of different length for ages from 5 to 100 years. Naturally more emission happens over a longer lifetime. During the life of someone who is 85 years old now 90% of all global fossil fuel emission happened. For someone at the age of 30 this rate is already 50%.

Sword of Damocles free #knitting pattern by Grace Lindley. This knit tapestry is brilliant. If you ever felt your #WIPs or to-do list were hanging over you like the Sword of Damocles, you can manifest it by knitting this double knit work of art.

Finally, I give an overview of the state of open-source OSNMA implementations. All other implementations I've found are in Python (not suitable for embedded microcontrollers) and under a copyleft license (or no license). So my galileo-osnma implementation in Rust with MIT + Apache license still occupies a singular position.

screenshot of a discord message that says Fixed a security bug discovered by Emma, where applying a specific amount of ketchup to your game disc could lead to arbitrary code execution in CTGP. No, I'm not kidding. Although admittedly it didn't necessarily need to be ketchup... regardless, it was a bit impractical and had the tendency to deal damage to the Wii laser or game disc if you wanted to exploit CTGP in this way, but either way, it's fixed now.

This looks pretty good, although I haven't quite yet figured out how it works.

I used to use Video Analyzer to explain video codecs to students, but it's unmaintained for 7 years, it also doesn't let you load just any video (needs a h265 yuv stream)

I found it slightly easier to get to the parts I want to explain (blocks, motion vectors), maybe it's also interesting to you.

TIFO the Arduino Ethernet library performs unbuffered byte-by-byte transfers when you're using print() and println(), leading to unreasonably increased turnaround count. I'll need to dig in the library's code, to check why, and I'll probably make a bug report.

This doesn't happen when using write() with an explicit buffer length, though.

PCAP: app.packetsafari.com/analyze/l…
"2 text/gemini\r" is written using println(), and the page content with write( void*, size_t).

Ok, apparently, print and println are inherited by the stream class, which explains why the write is unbuffered. Next, I'll need to check if I can do a zero-copy write() from flash, otherwise, I'll do a buffered write().
