Another point for going local-first. CRDTs have history built in.

It was quite the adventure because every parameter in my pretzel making procedure was different. Still turned out well.

What a wonderful #DWebCampCascadia!

There is more to report, but here are a few 📸 pics from the farewell ferry care of 🏕️ Camper Renee Black

Thank you all for coming! 👋

pink clouds above, ocean below, with a strip of land in silhouette across the horizon

the sky is now shades of blue and orange as the sun sets. A mountain rises in the distance on the horizon. Ocean in near part of the frame.

sun past the horizon now behind a large hill. The sky is a bright dark blue, and the water is striated with waves from different ships passing

sun passed the horizon. In the center of the frame the silhouette of a hill rises towards a light blue heaven, striated with some long tufts of cloud. The water is churned with the passing of the ferry

The middle picture is to show the antenna on the roof which is part of the Galiano network www.galianonet.org that @avibryant.com helped setup

I read "The Entrepreneurial State" by Mariana Mazzucato a few years ago. Pretty US centric but might still be worth a look: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ent...

Everyone is celebrating him for his (obviously wonderful) songs but I am also celebrating him for releasing all his works into the public domain and insisting he retained no copyrights over any of it.
