I'm rocking #NixOS #xfce edition at the moment on my #system76 #pangolin .

I've missed you xfce , KDE is great but I like the look more of xfce. It just feels right.

NixOS has been a great learning experience so far love the reproducibility.

:nixos: :xfce:

I'm making a marquetry pangolin!

I started this project about a month ago, and I finally made the pangolin's face today. The next step is to make the tree that it's climbing and cut the whole thing into a background veneer (which I'm not looking forward to).

The scales are mostly made of zebrawood veneer and macassar ebony veneer. There are 280 scales, and each one is sand shaded (scorched along the edge with very hot sand).

Hail to the mighty Pangolin!
Your power undeniable!
Your webcam may be blah
Your trackpad strange and wah
But your keyboard is downright divine!

The Pangolin has finally arrived from @system76
and #pop_os is looking really sharp!

"Pangolins may live in burrows, but India’s policymakers need not let their plight remain buried."

⚠️ New analysis by TRAFFIC reveals that at least 1,203 pangolins were taken from the wild for illegal trade in India between 2008 and 2022.

More info about the #aardvark (here called the anteater) & #pangolin's inclusion in Chi Wara design from Bamana: The Art of Existence in Mali, p. 204, available free online with many photos of Chi Wara on pp. 200-33: https://issuu.com/theafricacenternewyork/docs/bamana_-_the_art_of_existence_in_ma

"Chi wara" means "laboring wild animal" & is the name of the mythical human-#antelope hybrid credited with teaching the Bamana farming. The #aardvark & #pangolin's industrious digging of the earth inspires their inclusion in the design.
More examples:
mid-19th to early 20th c., Baninko region, Mali; wood, metal, brass tacks, grasses. Art Institute of Chicago:
https://www.artic.edu/artworks/189595/pair-of-headdresses-tyi-wara-kunw
Early to mid-20th c., Mande, Mali; metal, mixed media, string, wood. NC Museum of Art:
https://learn.ncartmuseum.org/artwork/pair-of-antelope-headdresses-ciwara/

#NationalAardvarkWeek: In addition to Korèdugaso heads, the Bamana also incorporate #aardvarks into the composite animal designs of the ChiWara. A commonly seen combo is #antelope horns + #pangolin back + #aardvark head & lower body.

Paired male & female with baby ChiWara (Ci-wara Kun), Bamana, Mali (likely Ségou region), late 19th-early 20th c., wood & metal, Brooklyn Museum:

On March 3rd, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild #Fauna and #Flora, known as #CITES , turns 50. But how effective has it been in protecting one of the most #endangered #species on the planet — the #pangolin ? We delved into the matter.

@jon I do like a used Thinkpad !, or recycling older tech in general to be honest. I am swaying more towards #system76 #pangolin though, mainly because I want an "all" AMD machine. I'm not entirely sure Thinkpad has one.

A Chinese pangolin has been born in the Prague zoo, the first birth of the critically endangered animal in captivity in Europe. The pup, which still has no name, has been nicknamed “Little Cone” because it resembles a spruce cone. http://bit.ly/3Kub6eB
