Infraclub Detective @robintw has been investigating the decline in late-night pharmacies

PC Gamer, the place to get your up to the minute Linux scheduler news https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/this-scientifically-dubious-linux-cpu-scheduler-makes-decisions-based-on-real-time-planetary-positions-zodiac-signs-and-astrological-principles/ also https://github.com/zampierilucas/scx_horoscope looks absolutely *delightful*. Exactly the sort of playful software I want to see.
This incredibly weird 'astrological CPU scheduler' uses the signs of the zodiac and 'accurate geocentric planetary positions' to decide processor tasking

Why? For funsies, of course.

It's not a patch on a Poky Beaver is it?
I have that mug. But somehow I'm not in the channel!?!!?!
Important

I haven't really done an 'art process' post for a while.

I'll be riding with the Krewe of Freret in the New Orleans Mardi Gras parades in a few weeks, and our signature 'throw' is hand-decorated masks.

I decided to make mine out of laser-cut and heat-formed acrylic, which has been a JOURNEY.

After a few weeks of work and a dozen+ failures, I *finally* have one I'm happy with.

Now I just have to make ~20 or so more!

I'll take a look, currently slightly blocked on a different yak to shave, but I'll get there.
Before I got down to "do tax return" on the Todo list. I only had "empty dresser", "build IKEA furniture" (depends on task 0) and "buy a new scarf". Can't believe I don't have a new scarf right now.
@hbons Love your work! That specific artifact (on x86_64) is giving me the 'classic' error: Invalid checksum of length 0 expected 32 when trying to install. I'm delighted to see your early new year is as productive as mine, albeit I just got my tax return done ;-)
Solid point. And correct, from my YAML hating point of view :-)
