    that honestly looks really nice. my kindle paperwhite is okay but it's so fucked that they don't let you change fonts to custom ones arbitrarily. if I had access to a soldering iron I'd jailbreak it

    I don't use CI that much and this is fucking me and my projects over. I have a cron that triggers once a day and it's generally 30-40 mins late a day now due to the high demand. One of my projects is getting garbage PRs made against it with a heavily forked action attached that is auto run. And it's all for generating pennies per process.

    it's good! I don't read much history so I found it a bit dry at times, but a very thorough view of the times. @PermaculturalMarxist on the issues of the epilogue:

    found it really good until about the last chapter where he kind of just reiterates the Trot point-of-view that Stalin ruined everything and the USSR basically stopped being socialist immediately after winning.

    For an intro to the USSR, particularly the revolutionary period, you will want to read October by China Melville (although people do say he falls for propaganda narratives about how the USSR fares after the revolution, so you will want to read other sources for that info).
