Email mastodon+swiley@swiley.net (this makes all of my computers beep and turn on an indicator light and is always the fastest way to reach me.) I was on octodon a while ago but abandoned my account. I've never been a member of gab or parlor.
If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.

Judge: I'm going to send the jury home tonight to get beaten, raped, and murdered. Whoever survives can come back here tomorrow and see the world as Kyle Rittenhouse saw it. Maybe it'll affect your decision.

Yeah motors make everything harder. I don't have good advice for that (I'm not great at electronics) but I've had the best experience with:
a) hobby servos
b) small stepper motors and pre-built driver modules for them
I think my issues with larger motors in the past was because I wasn't using a flyback diode to smooth out the inductive spiking but I'm not sure.
@LukeAlmighty
What exactly are you trying to do and struggling with?

Soyence bigots are the worst kind of bigot (Pithécanthrope/Spirochaete). They can't eat an apple unless both he/him/ and his apple are vaxed and his apple waxed (with poisonous soyence that's shoving it down our throats).

The distro on my first laptop was in a box like this (my dad bought it.) I thought it was 6.1 but maybe it was 8.1.
@fluffy It probably is but I don't think you can tell without IPNS. A question about that would be more interesting
