8bitnews is my favorite retrocomputing newsletter, I read every issue cover to cover.

https://8bitnews.io

It publishes retrocomputing news and projects with quality curation, a wide variety of resources, and a distinctive upbeat voice. While many retrocomputing sources focus on gaming, 8bitnews shares also content about devices, software, programming, and other non-gaming vintage technologies.

Interesting comment on Hackernews regarding a possible scenario/long term risk should Mastodon threaten the corporate sphere of social media.

Finally found the solution to this problem. Mark the large array using __code attribute, so the linker knows to put it in ROM instead of RAM, and no more linking failures. Yeah, it's microcontroller programming 101, but it was not documented by SDCC's PIC14 port... Only found it in the 8051 section. ​:woozy_baa:​

Both the target of the pointer (before the star) and the pointer itself (after the star) must be marked as __code, otherwise it only stops the linking failure, not the memory corruption. A long array of pointers was already enough to overflow and corrupt memory by itself... ​:woozy_baa:​ #electronics

I took all the domains from https://fediblock.neocities.org/ block list and put it in a csv file that can be imported so you can block all hateful instances.
Download it [here](https://anonfiles.com/0088mcF8y8/blocked_domains_csv)
### How to import
- go to settings
- click on import & export
- click on import
- under import select domain blocking list
- then select the csv file you downloaded
- click upload
**Boom** a friendly mastodon & fediverse experience

Today, I finished watching season 3 of #Pose and I cried so hard.
It may seem odd, but since being on HRT I find myself reacting to things like thus in a new way. Where I would have choked back my emotions, not they release freely. And I love it!

What's a good way to start working with programming (non-paid)?
I don't feel that confident just messing around with projects on github, but I would be happy to help any amateurish projects needing an extra brain.

Searches for "volunteer programming" don't return much, and programming for Roblox seems a bit shady lately.

My main problem is that I don't really have an axe to grind, so I'm looking for someone else that already has that axe lol.

Here's my guide for 19 different type of arch profiles for your #Minecraft builds! #guide

@derickflorian Minecraft has always been a ‘wiki’ type of game for me. It’s rare that I don’t have the wiki open during game play to look up how to craft some item or where other might be found or info on some type of mechanic. If you look through my posts I have a bunch of guides that may (or may not) help a bit this early in the game.
Farming crops and breeding animals is important early in game.

Any chad #orgmode users out there that use it to track your workout routines?

Every writeup on it that I've seen mostly talks about logging your progress trough tables and plotting them, which is very cool, but it isn't what I'm looking for.

For me, exercise is a complex task. It's a:

1. Daily habit (except Sunday)
2. An ever changing task (I increase reps up to a point, and at the end I change to another exercise)
3. Weekday dependent (every day of the week has a special set)

@JonKramer
Can confirm. Shearing also gives more wool than just killing them. And when they live on grass blocks, they replenish their wool after eating grass (block turns to dirt).

@derickflorian

@derickflorian , you need to find 2 sheep, and feed them wheat. They breed, and then you make shears to get wool.

5-7 books to something something about me? Good Lord. Um...

Okay, "A Wrinkle in Time", that's like a free space.

Thaddeus Golas, "A Lazy Man's Guide To Enlightenment".

Robinson, "A Short, Sharp Shock".

Me, "All Reality" (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KH-ZR3A8va_QVaVVP5EWb3SIUUJF2o0g65hOV3pVspA/)

Ram Dass, "Be Here Now"

I don't know! Maybe Morick (ed) "Challenges to Empiricism".

Ooh how about Abbott's "Flatland"?

"Principia Discordia" of course.

Darn, that's eight already, and I haven't listed "The Wind in the Willows" yet, which should probably have been first.

And lots more!!

I do not like that this needs to exist, but I'mma boost it until it's not. Do likewise, as you will.
