Oh joy, a new tome on #FreeBSD, because the world definitely needed another monument to #Unix #esoterica 📚🔍. Surely this will shake the foundations of #computing as much as every other tech manual collecting dust on the shelf 🤦‍♂️💤.

Integrated by Design — Launch Day — Vivian Voss

Launch day for my first book. 371 pages on FreeBSD, from philosophy to practice. Subtitle: Why the Best Systems Are the Ones You Don't Notice, which one has had rather a lot of time to consider ironically over the last 72 hours. A field report from the publishing surprises one did not see coming.

#Tarot card of evening: The High Priestess-II.

You've got answers within, but you need to make time, find your quiet spot, and be silent so you can hear. A time where you need to withdraw from the outside world.

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Eight of Pentacles.

The work at the moment is not glamorous, but it is required of you so get it done so you can move to something better. You're almost there, finish strong.

#Tarot card of evening: Strength-VIII.

No one is coming for you, so it is on you to gird your loins and do what is needed. In these #HardTimes, even if tired, you need to persevere, to keep going even where others have given up. Stay strong.

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Two of Cups.

New changes may bring new opportunities for collaboration. Trust your intuition here, and if someone does not seem right, decline gracefully. If they do seem right, make plans, see what you might accomplish together.

#Tarot card of evening: Death-XIII.

This is your sign to release, let go what does not serve. Stop trying to hold on to the past, to what may be comfortable but not really good for you. Bury what needs to be buried, grieve, then move on.
