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.

So the Court says I don't need to get a #vaccine .
I haven't gotten an email from the legal department saying that's the case though (on the other hand they're dog slow.)

🟡 Today, we're starting the process of refusing End-Of-Life relays in the Tor network.
Relays not using a current Tor version (0.3.5, 0.4.5, 0.4.6, and 0.4.7) are affected.
Relay operators: If your relay was part of the EOL list, please upgrade to a supported version and ideally our latest stable in order to rejoin the network.
If you need any help, please feel free to open a new topic on the Tor Forum or email tor-relays mailing list.

@Hyolobrika @swiley It's not. If you get sick it's your fault for neglecting your body.
Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights
Article 3 – Human dignity and human rights
1. Human dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms are to be fully respected.
2. The interests and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society.
Fun fact: ICE/webRTC does not work over socks.
I don't have internet set up at my new house so everything on my desktop goes over socks/ssh right now. Lots of stuff like Discord and Spotify don't behave with that.
