matto has a new and shiny capsule running on a beaglebone black, using vger and ed. Yay, that is indeed smol computing. The capsule is still small, too, but I found this post really interesting:
There is an incredible, almost infinite, number of books out there. When choosing what to read, it is not possible to look at each and every book.

I have read a fair share of books in my life. I have far too many of them, and recently I give them away more liberally. What good is a book, if it is read only once? That is probably not, what books were invented for. On the other hand I have purchased second copies of some books to give them away for "recommended by me"-reading. So I thought why not create a little list of books, that I whole heartedly recommend.

Some time ago I was pointed to this list of books:

In order to read, what the books are about, you have to go to this site
and enable javascript. But this site is lacking hints about why the author thinks, these books deserve to be on the list.
