A place to connect the books you want to read with friends who already own them, and vice-versa. Imagine a distributed library composed of your friends’ books.
Encouraging sharing with friends and starting conversations about topics you might never have considered having not known they were into the same books as you.
Very rough draft but it has the core functionality, even if it’s a bit cumbersome.
love the idea! I would have registered if it weren't using passkey. is there a reason you chose this for user verification? I've never used it and am hesitant to adopt technologies that give chrome more control over the browser market

I'm a novice at nginx and using modules. how do I figure out if the nginx docker images that I use are effected by this? it looks like the default image uses `debian:bookworm-slim`. is it safe to assume that the compiled version in that upstream image isn't using any additional modules?
> The issues affect nginx compiled with the ngx_http_v3_module (not compiled by default) if the "quic" option of the "listen" directive is used in a configuration file.

I remember reviewing this paper with my lab when it was published! Very interesting work
I'm not sure about the best, but there is a list at the bottom of this page:

Personally I like the Snowdrift model. Liberapay is also great as its EU based and non-profit.
great! thanks for the suggestions
Multiple re-reads:
- Saga of the Exiles by Julian May, which merges science fiction with folklore/fantasy in Pliocene Earth
- Hyperion by Dan Simmons, excellent SF with a feel of the Canterbury Tales about it
- Neuromancer by William Gibson, plus the follow-ups (all the Sprawl) are very good too
- The Sheep Look Up by John Brunner, about the eco collapse of the US in the 1980s (10 years after it was written) and which William Gibson called a "brilliant novel"
And a couple of guilty pleasures:
- Venus Equilateral by George O Smith, 1940s stories based around a three mile long space station at the L4 point in space, a bit like Babylon 5 meets DS9 in the era of vacuum tubes
- Necrotech by KC Alexander, a brutal and obscene body-mod cyberpunk dystopia (the sequel of which, Nanoshock, has a superbly offensive opening sentence)
- Halcyon Drift by Brian Stableford, about a corporate dystopia and a pilot who hooks up his body to merge with his ship (a bit blase now but less so then, especially as I had read far less at the time)
- Bio of a Space Tyrant by Piers Anthony, a 6 book series following the rise of a refugee to becoming the Tyrant of Jupiter
I second Hyperion and Neuromancer -- both are amazing book and a great representation of modern and classic sci-fi

a term defined is different from a thing existing.
is it though?! "language is the house of being"

I love this paper! I first read it years ago in college. The Botany of Desire is also a great read if you're into the study of plants and civilization
