To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same. Add to the post.















Another great thing to do is change your DNS to @opennic. That way you can depend less on the domain name registry. And if everyone starts using openNIC, people will start buying more openNIC domains. Thus, another part of the internet dominated by oss.

“Meditate … do not delay, lest you later regret it.”

So my boyfriend has had some exposure to Linux before, and I re-introduced it (Ubuntu, to be precise), and he likes it!! "It's so clean and I feel so in control." This makes me so disproportionately happy, you have no idea.

I borrowed this one from codewars

Snail Sort
Given an n x n array, return the array elements arranged from outermost elements to the middle element, traveling clockwise.

array = [[1,2,3],
[4,5,6],
[7,8,9]]
snail(array) #=> [1,2,3,6,9,8,7,4,5]
For better understanding, please follow the numbers of the next array consecutively:

array = [[1,2,3],
[8,9,4],
[7,6,5]]
snail(array) #=> [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
This image will illustrate things more clearly:

NOTE: The idea is not sort the elements from the lowest value to the highest; the idea is to traverse the 2-d array in a clockwise snailshell pattern.

This was a fun one! Written in Ruby, I decided on treating the board size as infinite by expanding it whenever the first or last row or column has an alive cell.

The entry file is game_of_life.rb in the root directory, and for simplicity, it just runs the "small exploder" pattern instead of taking an argument for initial state.

Today we announce the formation of the Bytecode Alliance, a new industry partnership coming together to forge WebAssembly’s outside-the-browser future by collaborating on implementing standards and proposing new ones. Our founding members are Mozilla, Fastly, Intel, and Red Hat, and we’re looking forward to welcoming many more.

huh, just saw #endies as an abbreviation of neurodivergent. I like it

Broke: You said "literally" when you meant "figuratively".

Woke: People have been using "literally" to mean "very" for centuries.

Bespoke: Counter-misusing "figuratively".

"I figuratively just ate three burritos."

For todays I'm going to do something a bit different. We have a lot of new users, one of the biggest surges we have seen in a while. As such a lot of new users are looking for high quality, long-standing, accounts to follow. Similarly many of the new users need some help getting attention and making new friends.

As such I am going to do this in a few parts. One for old users I have mentioned in previous posts, as well as some of the new users who have been making quality posts and been active for at least a week now. Hopefully this will be more helpful.

Also a section for some bots might be useful.

I will use a persons profile description here as I dont want to misrepresent anyone.
