  • I completed book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl yesterday and now I’m on to the new Dresden novella OutLaw.

  • The 4th Linux kernel flaw this month can lead to stolen SSH host keys

    Jump

  • Oh good. Nothing too serious, then.

  • Name one

  • Does Cadfæl count if one can include “married to the church”?

  • What fiction should I read next?

    Jump

  • The author is a good writer and has great character moments. Someone else mentioned it picking up at book 5, I would say earlier around the middle of book 3. And honestly they aren’t bad from the first book, the author was just new and so it is just immature writing, cliche heavy, etc… but the story’s are good. And if you are an audio book person, the reader is actor James Marsters, and he does a really good job.

    He also has another completed series that is fun called Furies of Calderon that grew out of a bet about what makes a good story, that pitted good writing vs novel idea.

    Jump

  • If you enjoyed progression fantasy like Cradle, Dungeon Crawler Carl or The Dresden Files might be up your alley.

  • Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off

    Jump

  • It was my understanding that some of these were built so the wheels didn’t fall off at all. I’d just like to make the point that this is not normal.

  • And I make damn well sure people see.

    Jump

  • Relatedly, as an admin of c/books, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a book here.

    If you enjoyed the TV show The Good Place, and humorous books about moral philosophy, Mike Schur (the showrunner) covers this in How to be Perfect.

  • I have a friend currently in Japan

    Jump

  • My guess is something like the Scientology speed runs that have been happening in other places in the world, but predominantly in the US.

  • Microsoft finally open sources DOS 1.0 - and it's so much more than the code

    Jump

  • A spokesperson said that the only reason they didn’t open source Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.11 for Workgroups at the same time was that it was still in use for some highly critical systems.

  • TikTok’s algorithm favored Republican content in 2024 US elections, study finds

    Jump

  • Net thing you’re going to tell me is that those left-wing rags the NY Times & Washington Post were actually Sane Washing Trump too.

  • If you love epistolary things, give Ella Minnow Pea a try.

  • It took me 2 tries to read it, I knew there was something beautiful there the first time but I wasn’t in the right place mentally.

  • Just got the brand new Murderbot book by Martha Wells (Platform Decay) and I’m excited to tear into it.

  • I got a great price on a 3 foot long ruler the other day...

  • I heard they weren’t making yardsticks any longer.

  • INDX Conversion Kits now available to public for Prusa Core One(+).

    Jump

  • I’m sure a more integrated and stylistically integrated version is quite a bit more desirable to some so the extra cost covers that.

  • INDX Conversion Kits now available to public for Prusa Core One(+).

    Jump

  • I’m excited for you. I want to hear how it goes.

    Jump

  • I don’t know how relevant it will be, but this was from Bondtech when they announced the founders kit.

  • INDX Conversion Kits now available to public for Prusa Core One(+).

    Jump

  • There was discussion about this on “the other site*” when the founder’s kits were released. The basic answer ended up being something like “since the nozzles heads are dumb, you’re still getting the same amount of smart (more expensive) components so there isn’t a lot of cost to save”.
