"A Note from LWN"
Comment · 2 months ago
RevK's recent stratum 1 server hardware [0] is worth a look. As are the notes [1] that someone wrote up after using it in the UK NTP pool for a couple of weeks.

You're right, it changed a few months ago. I find it more enjoyable now that you can continue to the end.

https://wordnerd.co/23words/ is similar (but 23 words instead of 18).
Possibly the biggest difference is that 23 Words continues with the next word if you fail to get a word within 30 seconds. When you have attempted all 23 words it will present you with results like this.
You found 21/23 words

I love singing, but I'm not very good at it. About 6 months ago I started attending a local Tuneless Choir[1]. It's just what I needed, and great fun.

I posted about this last week [1], but it didn't get any traction. Although I used a link to the release page rather than the blog announcement, so maybe that was why.

I noticed that Bubble Tea v2 [0] has been released. It looks like a great improvement all round over 1.x. The companion libraries lipgloss[1] and bubbles[2] have also had v2 releases.

Looking at https://github.com/stepandel/chroma-explorer/blob/master/pac... it looks like it's using Electron.
