The Sahel country is one of the few African nations to boast rare dinosaurs, but safeguarding them is a challenge. Niamey, Niger – In a corner of the sprawling grounds of Niamey’s only museum – a unique, open-air style arrangement in Niger’s capital that doubles as a zoo – imposing fossil replicas of long-extinct animals stand in a corrugated iron stall.

Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge Apr. 25, 2025 [technology] Had my priorities been better aligned, I would have first begun building Linux skills sometime during the Bush (W) administration. It has left me feeling as though I should make up for that lost time. So I’ve decided to reclaim that lost experience of installing and using Debian from around the early-mid 2000s.

Why do we keep gravitating toward complexity?
