Fresh dump of interesting and/or useful web links I've found recently. Full link stash here.
This week: These are kind of becoming a monthly thing. It's generally how long it takes me to bookmark 10 things, which I feel is a nice digestible number for these posts. I "favourite" a million things in my RSS reader, but don't they generally don't make it into my buku bookmarks. I used to put them in, with the tag "blog-post", or something else appropriate. Maybe I'll do that again. Maybe I won't.
A heap of reading here. via Parker

Been enjoying some old classics lately and this is a good list sorted by category. Posters, details and links to trailers. A bit hard to source a lot of the lesser-known ones (cinemageddon used to be my go-to but my account was disabled from inactivity), but a good browse anyway.

When I get stuck on an OverTheWire Bandit level I find these walkthroughs get me through, but keep me educated at the same time. The "Little bit of theory" sections are short, but well written and easy to understand. Once through a level, I'll backtrack and read a bit on the man pages of the tools used to wrap my head around it more.

317. Phrack Magazine
I've bookmarked this latest article of Phrack Magazine, rather than the main page, because I thought it really captured the essence of the hacker culture right now - which is as it always was - "about *freedom*. Freedom to think, to question, to build and break without limits." But brings us back to current circumstance... "That spark is hard to find now, but it still lives in the rarest of places". There is some really good writing in here.

316. Contrast Finder
Useful tool for finding foreground colours that work with background colours, or vice-verca. Flags were the ratio won't work any longer for web accessibility.

If someone were to load up Linux or some other UNIX OS for the first time, I would tell them to scim through this as a primer, but it's probably more useful for an intermediate user. So many useful little nuggets in here.

314. Tmux Cheatsheet
Constantly forgetting...

313. Mirror Sydney
So much history of Sydney on this website. Seeing some places I've visited before, and just broader photos of streets, buildings, and utilities bring back memories of the city.

312. color-hex
My favourite colour explorer. Includes palettes.

311. Micropelago
This is so cool. Essentially a tool that users and "caretakers" install and run on their personal devices to host and mesh a network of shared disk space. I imagine just about everyone has a few gigabytes spare, and maybe some bandwidth, probably less so the ability to leave a machine running all the time. But there are many of us out there that could do, and I think this'd be a really rad way to share resources.
