    Years back i was enamored with this concept and sought out various staple-less stapler solutions. Most were realistically only good for binding 3-5 sheets. My use cases required mo…

    Other zines have filled the void left by 2600, one of my favorites being PoC||GTFO. (pocorgtfo.hacke.rs) I think the author isn't considering that people's bubbles have gotten smal…

    Don't feel weird. I'd even itemize the task being being requested on their invoice (e.g. "reporting requirement fulfillment"). My perspective changed on this after doing a gig for …

    Just OOC, do you currently run a stock Ubuntu distro or a derivative? (and if so, may I ask which one?)
