Blasta

"A federated PubSub bookmarking system for XMPP.

Blasta is a collaborative bookmarks manager for organizing online content.

It allows you to add links to your personal collection of links, to categorize them with keywords, and to share and synchronize your collection among your own software, devices, machines, and also with others.

The ability of Blasta to display to you the links that other people have collected and shared, as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a specific link is what makes Blasta a collaborative system.

You can also view the links collected by others, and subscribe to the links of people whose lists you deem to be interesting.

Blasta does not limit you to save links of certain types; you can save links of types adc, dweb, ed2k, feed, ftp, gemini, geo, gopher, http, ipfs, irc, magnet, mailto, monero, mms, news, sip, udp, xmpp and any scheme and type that you desire."

Build Your Own Timeline Algorithm (byota)

"Timeline algorithms should be useful for people, not for companies. Their quality should not be evaluated in terms of how much more time people spend on a platform, but rather in terms of how well they serve their users’ purposes. Objectives might differ, from delving deeper into a topic to connecting with like-minded communities, solving a problem or just passing time until the bus arrives. How these objectives are reached might differ too, e.g. while respecting instances’ bandwidth, one’s own as well as others’ privacy, algorithm trustworthiness and software licenses.

This blueprint introduces an approach to personal, local timeline algorithms that people can either run out-of-the-box or customize."

The little book about OS development

by Erik Helin, Adam Renberg

"This text is a practical guide to writing your own x86 operating system. It is designed to give enough help with the technical details while at the same time not reveal too much with samples and code excerpts. We’ve tried to collect parts of the vast (and often excellent) expanse of material and tutorials available, on the web and otherwise, and add our own insights into the problems we encountered and struggled with."
