I published the essay: Asymmetry, heteronomy, delegation: what happens when our self-reliance in fact relies on technological providers?

On this website, you will find wikis about shell literacy.

These are just my own wiki files. I create these wikis with commands I use, but don’t necessarily remember, so I can go back to them when needed.²

Also, you can keep track of my move away from digital glebes³ via twtxt, and you can receive updates of wikis I publish by subscribing to this RSS feed.
