quote [ If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come. ]

quote [ The code for the message that the background image is ready was located within the background image bitmap code, which means that the message never appeared if you did not have a real background image bitmap. And a single color is not such a bitmap. ]

quote [ Kiwix brings internet contents to people without internet access. [?] As an offline reader, it is especially thought to make Wikipedia available offline, but technically any kind of web content can be stored into [a highly compressed open format] and then read by the app: there are currently several hundred different contents available in more than 100 languages, from Wikipedia, Wikiquote, the Wiktionary to TED conferences, Gutenberg library, Stackexchange and many others. ]
This exists for a long time and it seems to be a simple server you can hook up to a local net with some added compression.
An interesting usecase was applying this on airgapped systems or jails that otherwise don't allow net access.

quote [ Create self-contained snapshots for every bookmark you save.
Access & share previously visited pages without worrying about modifications or availability. ] A Go service you can host yourself ? or probably run locally ? to maintain snapshots of bookmarks yourself with a browser extension. Looks snappy and rather simple. I like how they don't store credentials.
