For those just learning about LibGen because of the reporting on Meta and other companies training LLMs on pirated books, I’d highly recommend the book Shadow Libraries: Access to Knowledge in Global Higher Education (open access: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edi...)

I swear, some days I love the cloud so much and what we can achieve with it. @cncf.io, @kubernetes.io, @golang.org, etc.
And other days, it keeps me up wondering if farming is easier on mental health.

Man, I love KDE Plasma 6 until I uninstall it on Manjaro. So much is broken, perhaps I need a fresh clean install, or to move to a new distro.
As I contemplate this, I also keep looking at the Mac Mini as a solution to my (now) aging computer. It's just not keeping up.

Today, I've debugged so much Go and Python code that I can recommend one or the other based on the project and developers tolerance of compiled vs interpreted, and how the read stack traces.

Optimistic, but equally cautious about this one too. I suppose I should add to my profile and see how it compares.
