Forget the technology and gadgets for the first few years. They need nothing other than your presence and care.
When they are old enough, around four, get them on to Linux!

One of those things that personal attention is required for is helping people find a task that they can do. Having a list of tasks available that someone can read through makes half the journey so much easier.

Often I will leave low-impact work undone, so that someone new can attend to it.
The feeling of "I actually did something" is so important for new contibutors.

Re:Ask HN: Why are ePub images so tiny?
on Saturday July 26, 2025 @06:19PM (#44697366)
Epub is a wrapped HTML
The image sizes can be anything the creator wants.
If you look on some of the big free libraries, you will see that there are many different versions of popular books, all with different sizes.

Debian or Fedora, with KDE or Gnome.
No atomic or immutable.
Keep it simple, keep it mainline, stick with large user-bases where help can be recieved.

Do you want a job?
Re:Ask HN: I once built a domain registrar. How can I make money?
on Wednesday March 05, 2025 @03:05AM (#43264057)
No, these companies are massively scaled now. The only way you could sell domain names is to run a web-host and then sell domain names combined with other services.
You could pretty easily get a job with an existing registrar though.

Don't wear a mask.
Social change is about many caring people coming together to support a worthy cause.
Solidarity and visibility are key.
The women's rights movement was not organized by cryptographers. Social change does not come from the shadows.
Spend your time on simple basic things that support solidarity.
Discord, web-pages, Whats App... use it all!
Model you tactics on successful campaigns and people. What does the ACLU use? How about Amnesty International?

GoDaddy is the only web-host to have ripped me off around $400 due to dark patterns and god-awful customer service resolution. I would never go anywhere near them again.
