Today: MNT Station Crowd Supply campaign ending – Industry Standard Tools – Perl's decline

  • About two days left in the MNT Station Crowd Supply campaign. It's an Arm-based, fanless, modular, open hardware desktop computer and server, and, in contrast to Framework (second entry on my Why not [X]? list I've started yesterday), the company doesn't endorse fascists. However, it's not cheap and the modular design means that you'll actually have to turn on your brain to find out what you need to order, depending on whether or not you already have MNT components.
  • Industry Standard Tools aims to collect the "standard" tools from a variety of industries and professions: 3M surgical tape, SL-1200 turntables, Manfrotto Super Clamps, Git. Nothing is sponsored or affiliate linked. (I would love an invite.)
  • cms writes about how Perl's decline was cultural. It's a nice read for when you're interested in Internet history.
