lisp and 
free software movement. I extensively use Guix and Emacs in pair with orgmode. My computing is limited only to fully libre software and hardware (thinkpad x200t).
I do mostly web backends at work.

Richard Stallman has made GNU C reference documentation. He announced it on his last public stream.

I have rendered current version in pdf and html formats. You can download source code and use it info and other formats.

Putin declared partial mobilization
Putin has declared a partial mobilization, that will probably enable him to force more Russian soldiers to fight in Ukraine. I doubt it will make a big difference.
In addition he growled and grated his teeth.

Work future, freelancing...
So yeah, I'm slowly reaching the end of the current NlNet funded project and I don't know what to do next. I'd love to work in a programming language (Guile?) in order to force me learn the internals and work with people I can learn from.
Still, I could also work for a company (maybe yours?) for 20 hours per week or less. Or as an external freelance guy.
I don't know.
I have some things possibly coming but nothing big.

Today I replied to one email and the rest of my productivity was blown out after I checked a messenger: Half of the chats are talking about Mobilization in Russia, which is started.
I had a clear understanding of the tasks, I had a motivation and desire to work today, but I can't get back my focus to the project.
BTW, I'm curious if it still illegal to call war war in Russia?
Looks very interesting. 4 quad 1.5Ghz SBC with RISC-V ISA
One sad thing that I've discovered already is that you need to use windows and proprieary software to flash this board. At least someone on youtube says so. I hope I will find workaround.

#Guix10Years
(Pictures courtesy of Morane Gruenpeter.)
I've ordered cheap risc-v single board computer. I plan to make something like C64 or spectrum with my unused mechanical keyboard inspired by thinkpad Tex Shinobi. It is able to run graphical linux environment, but I don't know if it is possible to use for lets say C programming in that environment with emacs running.
If my introduction to risc will be smooth, I probably will switch to it completely someday. I have more sympathy to risc than any x86 or arm.

Here are some:

But I would install some old Unix like SCO or Xenix in a VM and fiddle with that.
If Debian will include non-free blobs in their default installer, there would be no difference which distro to use Fedora/Debian/Ubuntu and so on.
https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003
For me Debian was a compromise between proprietary world and free world. I have used mostly free software there. That was a selling point for me. If I want more blobs, I would choose different distribution, they are kinda all the same.
I think for now my favorite blobs-included gnu/linux distro is Slackware.

PHP errors suck so much. PHP continue C tradition of ignoring errors or providing non verbose description of them.
Do you know any materials about learning original proprietary unix system? I only know the book called Unix programming environment, but I want something else.
Sad that I don't have resources to visit Paris to attend at guix 10 years event :(

Not only does #Guix10Years have a great program, it also has great kakemonos designed by the awesome @luis_felipe.
