[+] 17 Feb 2024

This is the beta of foofaraw[+], the temporary home of something new.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for how it can be improved.

This was supposed to be a Tues-Thurs thing, but here I am back with a fourth edition for the week. I just collected way too many good links to hold off until Tuesday.

I don’t actually know how useful this is for people, but this gave me the idea that the Tues-Thurs editions will be more focused on big things that I think are important or have something to say about and then this “weekend edition” can be more of the other links, sorted by topics—something akin to how Ben @ [SIC] does it.

Let me know if you have thoughts or if this is something that you’d never give the time of day.
