Linkdump #0

There is someone named Andreas who has got a blog. And he has some posts named “Linkdumps” which have a collection of links to interesting stuff he finds. Inspired from him, I’m doing the same. And this is the “0th” link dump. Linkdumps are going to be in the “Misc” category of my website. As they are not tied to specific branch of topic. As you see, me blog has articles about religion and math, too.

Blog posts 📮

• This is Probably Your Last Chance to Buy a New Computer in the US at Pre-Tariff Prices. I’m not based in the US. But it seems things aren’t going very good for Americans. In this blog post, various advices about buying a computer are given. And also that after the Trump Tariffs, the prices will drastically rise.
• Programmers and their Monospace blogs. Here Ashton complains about style of some blogs of programmers. I can’t agree more with him.
• Real programmers. Again from Ashton, he tells us about lost arts in the field of software development such as utilizing CLI tools.
• uKanren Reading. Again from Ashton, he promotes an embedded logic programming language. I haven’t checked the paper. But it sounds interesting.
• Saying goodbye to KaiOS and chooj. This is my own blog post. I’ve talked about why KaiOS is not a choice for me anymore.

Softwares 🧑🏽‍💻

• Marginalia: I fell in love with it when I found it. It’s an open source search engine with its own independent index. You won’t believe how many valuable content you could find with it which you cannot find using Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo. Also it tells you beforehand if the website has got tracking, ads or Javascript. Last, it also has got a tool to “explore” new websites.
• Asterinas: Yet another Rust OS. But it’s not exactly an Operating System. Rather just a Linux compatible kernel.
• FeedFlow: I tried many Feed Readers on me Android Ebook Reader and this turned out the best experience. I also requested features to add better support for Epaper. And the developer was nice enough to implement most of them!
• Minder: I tried many FOSS mindmap softwares and this is the best I found with respect to UI/UX. Your taste might be difference. But I prefer good keyboard shortcuts and it’s clean UI.

Games 🎮

• Pixel Dungeon. Really cool and addictive game with pixel graphics. A DeltaChat community member has ported it to WebXDC.
• Adanaxis. A 4D space adventure single player game. Yeah 4D! Too bad the development is halted.

Books

• Introduction to Psychology from LibreTexts: Just started reading this book. Not me first psychology book. But the first one I read in English. It has explained the field well, and doesn’t talk too much :)
