Fediverse: please recommend me a game to play next (that runs on Steam, Switch, Linux, Mac). Recently, I REALLY enjoyed Dispatch and I enjoy Snowrunner as a kind of semi-meditation. Also like text games. Only looking for solo player stuff. Happy to play something old or indie. Thoughts? Played anything recently that you really liked? (Or something you made?)

Rust folks: huge thank you to every Rust dev who writes example scripts. They're always helpful!

Recent example: I've been learning about rp2040 PIOs ... and even after getting my head around the main concepts, it's really confusing to get started. The rp-hal and embassy rp examples get you something working to start from.

Find the thing closest to what you're trying to do, run it as is. It works! Work that into codebase. Test/iterate on integration. Repeat for the next thing.

And thanks to @mwl@io.mwl.io for writing ZFS books. I read them to build foundational knowledge. Very useful. Looking forward to the updated book! https://mwl.io/shop

I've moved all my home bulk data storage to ZFS (https://openzfs.org/wiki/Main_Page) over the last month. (If you haven't used it, it's awesome. More than you're thinking. More than that. It's worth learning.)

So, I'm in deep-learning mode and sometimes get stuck, right? *Every* time I get stuck or confused about something in ZFS there is a Klara Systems article which explains things clearly and with technical rigor. Love it. Huge thanks to Klara folks for sharing their expertise so widely!

@brettcannon one more: In Google Cloud, cron “Scheduler” is a factored out service you can use to trigger other services. You can combine it with Cloud Run to execute your containers: https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/triggering/using-scheduler
