The Curious Case of Quentell(startifact.com) I hang out on Mastodon quite a bit. 1 One of the most consistently engaging people in the Mastodon fediverse is @futurebird@sauropods.win. Besides pro-ant propaganda, you get thoughts about teaching and mathematics, micro-science fiction, her cat Pica (often wronged, always right), and much more. Highly recommended.
Ask HN: Best dedicated server in the US(ycombinator.com) Need a dedicated. What's the most reliable + reasonably-priced? Came across Datapacket.com, which seems pretty good. All insights welcome. I'm sure many will benefit with this info!
Lesser-known science fiction movies(exotext.com) I love science fiction in all forms, and I can't resist watching almost any sci-fi movie. So, I watch a lot of them. It's a bit annoying how "sci-fi and fantasy" became the standard pairing. In my eyes, these genres are exactly opposite. It's like grouping movies about horses with movies about cars.
Tools Worth Changing to in 2025(matthewsanabria.dev) It’s almost 2025 in my part of the world and that means another year has gone by. Another year of love. Another year of joy. 2024 was a great year for me and my family overall. There were highs- we opened a physical location for my wife’s chocolate business, Lily & Sparrow, and I joined the team at Oxide Computer Company. There were lows- one of our dogs passed away and we adopted another shortly after.

Ask HN: Greatest books about the history of computing(ycombinator.com) The Dream Machine is giving me a great appreciation of the time-sharing revolution and ARPANET. What else should I read? Any timeframe or topic is OK, so long as it's strongly related to the history of computing.
