Interested in learning programming with Go?
I'm doing a quick crash course with some live coding over on Twitch in about 20 minutes!
Join me:
It's a catch up weekend. Between kid's parties, building lego robots, catching up with friends that have been at-sea for the past year, getting lost in the CTF-hole, and fighting this nasty flu, I haven't gotten the shiz done that needs to be done.
So cheers to all my fellow procrastinators, and best wishes in making those deadlines! Gambatte, mofos!

Anyone have a kobo ereader? How is it?
To enable GNOME fractional scaling in X11 sessions with Ubuntu 19.04, run the following at the command line:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features “[‘x11-randr-fractional-scaling’]”
Sadly, it seems to be a Ubuntu only thing for the time being.
So one of the biggest things I've been crying about in GNOME is now fixed as of version 3.32.
I'm switching back for now. If I'm still using it by the end of next week, they're getting my weekend beer money.

Got a chance to tell a story on #DarknetDiaries with Jack Rhysider.
Ep 36: Jeremy from Marketing
"A company hires a penetration tester to pose as a new hire, Jeremy from Marketing, to see how much he can hack into in his first week on the job. It doesn’t go as planned."
You can listen to it here: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/36/

Tor's ebook club is giving away Cory Doctorow's book Walkaway.
Read the story of people that are no longer needed by the "zotta-rich" who own all the automated production, so they "walkaway" and build their own communities with open-source versions of the very same automation technologies that rendered those people superfluous in the "default" world.
Giving Linux Desktop one more shot, but using i3 because the funky issues with Gnome and KDE (mainly scaling) is the main reason I gave up in the first place.
I found a really cool bar that’s open 24/7 and has a dance floor with stripper poles. They made me put my shirt back on, but its been a fun upper body work out.
I see a new Darknet Diaries, I get happy. I see Tinker on Darknet Diaries, I get super happy.

One piece was missing, so robodude is gonna be one-arming it until Lego mails it to us. Though, duct tape and steak knife might be a fun and useful temporary fix.

Pixelfed will be a year old in a few days.
I'm a high school dropout that has never taken any CS or computer classes.
Web development is just a hobby of mine, I work in the auto industry.
I'm so proud of this project, I never would have imagined that I could make something like this.
Thank you for helping me realize credentialism isn't so important as you think. ❤️ 
Anyone have experience with LEGO BOOST?
I have a kid turning 6 soon that keeps talking about wanting to build a robot, but I don’t want to get a turd product.
Certified Robb Tracy fanboy.
