ScummVM ☛ “Can you bring peace to.. UNREST?”
Unrest is a roleplaying game developed by Pyrodactyl Studios set in a fantasy interpretation of ancient India. You’ll step into the shoes of ordinary people and navigate a world fraught with challenges as they strive for safety, freedom, and peace.
We are proud to announce that Unrest is now playable using ScummVM thanks to the work done by our GSoC student, Kartik Agarwala! Help us test the game by grabbing a daily build of ScummVM.

Adriaan de Groot ☛ EBN lives?
Many years ago I was involved in software-quality research – the SQO-OSS project and things like that. That work begat the code-quality checking scripts that we in the KDE community called “the EBN”, or EnglishBreakfastNetwork. I was a tea-drinker then. The EBN stuff has been surpassed by Klazy and many other software-quality-checking tools. But the EBN domain carries on. Although I haven’t got anything to put on it I just renewed the domain again for two years – just in case.

APNIC ☛ A free and open source IPv6 textbook
Nick Buraglio and Brian E. Carpenter have released their comprehensive, continuously revised and edited resource on IPv6: A free and open source IPv6 textbook. It’s well worth a read and bookmark. The book is being hosted by the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), which we’ve featured in APNIC Blog posts and PING podcasts before. Based in Oregon, NSRC provides the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) RouteViews Project and conducts training worldwide. Nick and Brian’s collaborative IPv6 book is a great addition to their stable of projects.

Nate ☛ I made a (free to read & share) novel
Anyway, I’ve been working on a novel aptly named “An Untitled Novel”. I have no experience writing fiction, but it’s also free to read and distribute so it’s less of an investment to check it out. There’s no ads, and outside of Cloudflare no tracking. It should also be accessible via Tor (I turned down the anti-DDOS in cloudflare) for the more privacy focused readers.
