quote from Commisar Danilov in Enemy at the Gates (2001): "I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there's always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love."

I found that keeping it current on my Slackware box had become too much of a burden.
Synopsis of a sci-fi short story telling of the dangers of over-relying on machines.
TLA+ is a high-level language for modeling programs and systems--especially concurrent and distributed ones. It's based on the idea that the best way to describe things precisely is with simple mathematics.
How to water your plant "without" a Gemini client:

... a thriving community focused on building truly high-quality software. We're not low-level in the typical sense. Instead we realize that to write great software, you need to understand things on a deeper level.
[Gemini is] the tech version of "my own web with blackjack and hookers and no Homers allowed."
Except not with blackjack and hookers, because blackjack would require complexity and interactivity and hookers would mean capitalism and advertising. But definitely no Homers.

FreeBSD RELEASE is intended for end-users, not STABLE, so I chose the wrong distro for the Pi. Grrr.

Power consumption:
Assume electricity unit rate is 30p per kWh. There are 8760 hrs in a year. So the running cost for a Pi 3 is 0.3*8760*2.4/1000 = Β£6.31. Pretty good.

"Useless Tree"
A carpenter and his apprentice were walking together through a large forest. And when they came across a tall, huge, gnarled, old, beautiful oak tree, the carpenter asked his apprentice: βDo you know why this tree is so tall, so huge, so gnarled, so old and beautiful?β The apprentice looked at his master and said: βNoβ¦why?β
βWell,β the carpenter said, βbecause it is useless. If it had been useful it would have been cut long ago and made into something else.
