next: How Containers Work!
Docker containers are actually many different Linux features mashed together, and I found containers WAY easier to understand when I understood the individual Linux features: namespaces! capabilities! pivot_root! overlay filesystems! seccomp!

next: Hell Yes! CSS!
I used to be terrified of CSS. What helped me was starting to really take CSS seriously as a technology and accept that I was just going to have to spend hours debugging tiny "formatting" issues. This zine is about some CSS basics that made me feel more comfortable.

next: Oh Shit, Git!
This was a collab with the amazing Katie Sylor-Miller (@ksylor), the author of https://ohshitgit.com
It's a reference for what to do to git out of a git mess

next: How Git Works!
This is our best-selling zine of all time (probably because so many people struggle with Git ❤). It explains git’s core concepts (commits! branches! merging! remotes!) with minimal jargon and a focus on the actual problems that can ruin your day.

next: Help! I Have a Manager!
I wrote this a few years after I started my first job where I had a manager. I initially didn't understand what my relationship with my manager was supposed to look like and this is about what I learned from working with a great manager. (shoutout to Jay Shirley & everyone else who helped me)

next: HTTP: Learn Your Browser's Language
Learning how HTTP works really made websites click for me. I just think it's so cool that when your browser is communicating with a website, you can go into the network tab, click on a request, and see exactly what's going on in a (relatively) human-readable way.

next: Bite Size Linux!
I was still getting started with zines at this point and part of what motivated me to publish this was that I posted a comic about /proc on Twitter and it got 5000 retweets. (/proc is AMAZING)
This is about some of the basic building blocks on Linux (files! signals! system calls!), what's weird about them (buffering!) and how you can inspect them (like with /proc)
It's one of the first zines so it's all handwritten.

next: Bite Size Command Line
This is a reference for the basic Linux command line tools (grep! awk!) with only the command line arguments that I actually use and examples for each one.
I wrote this because I was mad that man pages don't have examples (still am but I made my own in the meantime :) )

next: Bite Size Bash!
I love writing simple bash scripts (you can do so much!) but bash has some weird gotchas. This zine explains all the surprising bash things that have tripped me up.
reading the reader testimonials for this one is always funny to me because they're so positive they feel made up: "I bought this, and in 28 pages it gave me more useful information than my fat Bash books."

next: The Pocket Guide to Debugging
I wrote this because my brother was learning to program, I wanted to recommend a guide to debugging to him, but I couldn't find one.
It's a mix of practical tips ("see if you can find an old version of the code that works!") and ways to manage all of the FEELINGS that come up while debugging.

next: How DNS Works!
DNS is frustrating, but I think the way it works is really cool. This explains about how the DNS protocol works, every weird thing I know about DNS caching, and how to use `dig` to debug DNS problems.

next: Become a SELECT Star!
This is a quick intro to some of the surprising things about SQL! (like how NULL is not equal to NULL), as well as some fun features like window functions.
I wrote this after spending a huge amount of time running SQL queries to do data analysis.

finally: How Integers and Floats Work
This one started out life as "a zine about how computers represent data in binary", but then once we'd explained how numbers work we ran out of space. But a lot of what computers represent IS numbers so I still think of this as the "binary zine".
https://wizardzines.com/zines/integers-floats/
That's all of the zines! They're all on sale tomorrow! You can add https://wzrd.page/cal to your calendar if you want a Google Calendar reminder.

A Simple Desktop Pomodoro Timer
Pomodoro timers are a simple productivity tool. They help you work in dedicated chunks of time, usually 25 minutes in a sitting, before taking a short break and then beginning again. [Clovis Fritzen] built just such a timer of his own, and added a few bonus features to fill out its functionality.
The timer is based around the popular ESP32-S2 microcontroller, which has the benefit of onboard WiFi connectivity. This allows the project to query the Internet for things like time and date updates via NTP, as well as weather conditions, and the value of the Brazilian Real versus the American dollar. The microcontroller is paired with an SHT21 sensor for displaying temperature and humidity in the immediate environment, and an e-paper display for showing timer status and other relevant information. A button on top of the device allows cycling between 15, 30, 45, and 60 minute Pomodoro cycles, and there’s a buzzer to audibly call time. It’s all wrapped up in a cardboard housing that somehow pairs rather nicely with the e-paper display aesthetic.
If Pomodoro is your chosen method of productivity hacking, a project like this could suit you very well. We’ve featured a few similar builds before, too.

@MLE_online @brouhaha specifically, it is an ER32 collet wrench.

@j_l_meek yep! sidenotes 🙂

@swelljoe @MLE_online
Looks like a wrench to me.
