i don't always use fountain pens…
Since I stumbled on https://sites.google.com/site/cartedartificio/home/pauperpen I've been wanting to try and make one, and I've finally found half an hour to do so.
This includes discovering that the cartridges I still had from my school years (last millennium) were dry, refilling one of them, discovering that I don't know how to refill an ink cartridge without spilling ink (luckily just on my hands and on some paper ads that were there to protect the desktop) and finally trying the pen.
For something made out of a soft drink can, it writes pretty well.

An Introduction to Functional Programming with Python
Many Python developers are unaware of the extent to which you can use functional programming in Python, which is a shame: with few exceptions, functional programming allows you to write more concise and efficient code. Moreover, Python’s support for functional programming is extensive. Here I'd like to talk a bit about how you can actually have a functional approach to programming with our favorite language. Pure Functions When you write code using a functional style, your functions are designjulien.danjou.info

But it definitely carries with it the danger of an interpretation where person A might tell person B that person A's actions were justified and person B's distress is entirely internal, therefore there is no reason for person A to change their behavior, B should just be better at accepting their fate.
We can do both. This is where I refer to the Serenity Prayer. It's one of the best pieces of Christianity, and it is pure Stoicism.
Grant me the wine to accept the things I cannot change,
The coffee to change the things I can,
And the shrooms to know the difference.

(and of course various Stoics and Buddhists a millennium or two before her, but her version is pretty much exactly the Serenity Prayer in content, just with different phrasing)

Most XMPP server lists are biased or abandoned. New servers are added or removed at the discretion of the list owners. We have created this open XMPP server list so that anyone can add server or recommend their favorite server...xmpp-servers.404.city

diziet | Nailing Cargo (the Rust build tool)
Like all modern programming languages, Rust has a combined build tool and curlbashware package manager. Apparently people today expect their computers to download and run code all the time and get annoyed when that's not sufficiently automatic. I don't want anything on my computer that automatically downloads and executes code from minimally-curated repositories like crates.io. So this is a bit of a problem.diziet.dreamwidth.org

A few years ago I bought a backpack from IKEA made of two backpacks connected by a zipper that promised to be a versatile solution to easily change from carrying a few essential to having room for more things. Sadly it didn't work…www.trueelena.org

Debian SnowCamp in Laveno 28 Feb / 3 Mar 2019
Just like last year, we are organizing a small DIY DebCamp in Laveno from Thursday 28 February to Sunday 3 March 2019.
A DIY DebCamp is chance to meet other debianites and work together, with no preset schedule other than what the participants themselves decide to have.
There is still room to register by adding yourself to the table on the debian wiki:

See you in Laveno!
https://openscore.cc is a project that wants to liberate sheet music from copyright and from paper! They invite and coordinate volunteers to transcribe public domain scans from https://imslp.org using https://musescore.org. Should be a great learning experience! 🎼
Become A Facebook-Free Business
This is an interesting initiative!Being a Facebook-Free Business means your customers can trust that you aren’t collaborators with the Facebook machine. That when you spend your money with a Facebook-Free Business, none of that money will find its way back to Facebook’s coffers.
The rules are pretty simple. Being Facebook Free means:
- We do not buy advertisement on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, or WhatsApp.
- We do not use Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, or WhatsApp to promote or represent our business or to communicate with our customers.
- We do not assist Facebook in its data collection regime through use of Facebook social Like buttons or by offering Facebook logins.

Thanks to @Debacle for the pointer!
