blog.kracker.org covers the latest in the life of the one aka //kracker aka the doctor aka dexter hall; study up there will be a test at the end...
Ok to be fair and honest;
My larger sticker order (free) was delivered months ago and I have been so busy with exponential development that I have not yet gotten to blog about it yet.
I ordered a bunch of stickers from Unamerican.com website and my order was delivered and unpacked and it was amazing! Take a look:
I recommend you stop what your doing and go place a free order of stickers to you no cost! tell them kracker.org sent you ;)
I strongly believe and recommend others support their favorite / local / Indy artists and the arts in general directly and buy their merch online.
Recently I Re-Ups on Kottonmouth Kings Gear / Merch in 2026/06 and the order came in very fast and perfect in every way possible.
I buy and wear Kottonmouth Kings Shirts and Hats to Show my support for Great Music, Worldwide Anarchy, And Freedom Through Anarchy.
Buy direct from the Band at https://kottonmouthkingsstore.com

PS. I also ordered a t-shirt from K-Flay about the same time on Her Birthday to Show my heartfelt support of her music and art. I'll post a pic with me wearing it soon.
Support the arts! Buy More Merch Directly From The Artists Online!
Cheers,

Hello Everyone,
I noticed today during random google keyword searches, it's a quirk go with it; That Thiago Campos Viana Released Ibexa DXP Legacy Workflow project on Github 2 Days Ago with a companion video introducing his own creation based on eZ Publish 5 Kernel Workflow PHP Code transformed with Grok AI into a working valid solution in Symfony Bundles which is compatible with Ibexa DXP.
I think this is just more proof where it counts most of all that the core idea of eZ Publish will never die only continue to be reborn anew GNU and that the community still exists in a rather decentralized ecosystem that continues to innovate and create new solutions to answer questions asked long ago.
Legends never die!

Hey Inkernet!
News from Slashdot recently that "The GNU Press Shop is now open through July 19 for their biannual fundraiser, offering a variety of freedom-respecting novelties including an FSF-branded antisurveillance webcam guard and both technical and philosophical books, like Richard Stallman's Free as in Freedom (which allegedly has turned up in Anthropic's training data). Other items include a slick new FSF logo sticker, a brass and zinc GNU "emblem" pin with real gold plating, and a cheeky sticker reminding everyone that "There is no cloud." And there's even a plush GNU toy."
Why not support the free software foundation and a free society with a swag purchase this season, (Act fast as this is a limited time offer)!
I fancy the GNU Baseball Cap, Super Sticker Mega Multi Pack, GNU Head Sticker Pack, BASH logo sticker pack, Emacs Reference Card 27, New FSF logo stickers, and the Emacs Logo Sticker Pack.
Help support the FSF/GNU help you; With a donation and swag purchase today!
Hey Inkernet!
I was listening to @realytcracker on YouTube recently and found that i had stumbled in random listening to @notytcracker account on YouTube which has a ton of remixes and originals of the real ytcracker's music. The selection was so expansive and great to find and listen to I had to share here.
One of my favorites was YTCracker - In My Time (infocalypse mix)
Enjoy the new listening material!

I am very pleased today to announce the launch of ./SlashNews aka SlashNews at https://slashnews.earth
SlashNews is the clone of the historically popular tech news portal Slashdot.org theme / skin for the cms solution powered by Exponential 6.x and software combined from CHND/DiggClone projects under GNU GPLv2+ License.
This software combined is called simply 'Slash'. Slash is very simple yet scales to incredible demands and internal requirements. Slash is open source and soon to be published on GitHub.
Post a new story on slashNews.earth right now and enjoy the freedom of our self publishing and internet voting and link directory / news portal sharing website service to the public for the good of everyone online reading and using it.
About this software (Details behind the story)
This software is now several generations old now, this is the 3rd iteration of the original digg.one and diggClone projects which spawned the CHND/HND Projects before the creation of slash.
So .. I am excited to talk about DiggClone the inspiration for developing an eZ Publish based voting engine based on the existing ezinfocollection system.
That system is called Digg [Sigma] which is based on eZ Publish 6 but technically only for it's support for more modern PHP implementations and ease of use general purpose or generic web development framework and a cms, and cmf and so much more right out of the box.
eZ Publish choice here should not be taken lightly. Many previous efforts to re-implement digg like story voting systems have come and gone over the many years we are talking about here but few remain to provide a stable solution basis for others to use quickly in modern web applications. There was one that matured enough to become it's own interesting solution (i forget it's name offhand from general research searches) but I think it was built in drupal.
With an eZ Publish based solution the future is bright for it's continued growth and redistribution and general end user performance and reliability. We implement so that you don't have too. We write so that it will run virtually untouched for the foreseeable future indefinitely without help just electricity. We write once to solve problems from becoming problems.
SlashNews.earth aka ./SlashNews aka Slash (Engine) simply allows our DiggClone Project to grow faster by providing yet another reference implementation changes (modified only to suite non digg branding, not core functionality) to be integrated into the core build of DiggClone. Our next release work will focus on bringing a real home page layout (templates + css + extras) to clone.digg.one and the installable repository of website source code and the demo database sql data dump file.
Will you build a website based upon eZ Publish and 7x Slash, 7x Digg, Digg [Sigma], digg.one like SlashNews.earth or HackerNewsDelta.com Did to create their own unique social website portal platform in hours not weeks?
Cheers,
//kracker

I blogged recently about UnAmerican.com's Sticker Offerings on their website and on amazon.com
UnAmerican Activities - "Linux is the Shit" Stickers
I recently received my order of "Linux is the Shit" Stickers from amazon.com / unamerican activities (fulfillment org for UnAmerican.com)
I ordered 4 Stickers and Got 1 Free Sticker ( I guess because I ordered so many?? ) of the same type of sticker.
I was super stoked to get the stickers (I collect stickers and make art with them).
Who knows next where I will slap a sticker on an object and make a statement to the world!
Short: I ordered stickers from UnAmerican.com (via amazon.com) and you should do it to ... right now, drop everything and go place an order. You won't be disappointed!
My thanks again goes out to the crew still shipping stickers at UnAmerican.com; you guys are -still- the righteous propaganda for the free people, for individuals today!

Kracker [dot] org hosts quotes from kracker [himself] since 1999.
In 2026/05 kracker wrote code in PHP to query the internet archive wayback machine web services (cdx) for all pages for domain slashdot.org since 1997 to the current year.
We wanted to mirror the fortune footer quotes content found on the site and archived on archive.org servers.
The project was a success and at the time of this writing we have scraped and imported over 3838 quotes and counting as we are not yet finished with the archival work.
See that every page load on kracker.org network of sites now displays new content in the end of the pages; a footer quote from slashdot which is dynamic and database driven and multi stage very very random.
Happy 6/7 Kiddos! Collect all the quotes on earth!

I remember learning as a early teen in 1995 and internet savy student of the efforts of Srini Kumar @ UnAmerican.com to send the world messages through selling simple wide stickers with counterculture propoganda messages that make you react/act/smirk/smile/grin and begin to look differently at the world. As a teen I looked up to people who had their own websites and made a difference on the world around you.
I still like UnAmerican.com (which is still active in 05/2026). They sell stickers on Amazon.com as 'Unamerican Activities' Brand name if you feel like paying for them.
On the UnAmerican.com Website Catalog you can order free stickers ala cart (note: please limit to 25 stickers per order).
I seem to remember buying stickers in the early days and wanting to make an long lasting impact just like the cool kidz on the internet like Srini @ UnAmerican.com.
If you like UnAmerican.com Stickers; Tell others about their work and promote them.
They also post on Facebook and other social networks. Siri/UnAmerican has become over time an interesting history to follow. There is even some unamerican.com based perl cpan software related to the project in some way.
My long time favorite music artist Tim Holland aka Sole dropped his latest album on All Streaming Platforms (including Spotify and YouTube) and you can listen to it for free!
I’ve been listening to his teachings throughout time and space for decades now but ..
most recently this album was on my Vlc playlist on repeat after buying it on Bandcamp for less than $20 USD with tip.
It speaks for me for some very strange and special reasons. Listen to all tracks please won’t you?
If it speaks through me to you or moved you at all; please consider buying the album on Sole's Bandcamp.
It's been a busy time during the last few month of active daily developments for the Exponential Open Source Project.
We have released so much it's become tiring and time consuming to just ship it, let alone to write press / social media for each one.
As such press efforts may lag behind the official development team's rapid growth rate.
We are still actively seeking more detailed user feedback to incorporate into our release cycle (for roadmap progress) for our many projects.
As always we encourage you to reach for the stars and start chipping of the work to your own unique goals and be amazed at the progress you do achieve before it even feels like work at all.
Hey internet!
In a drive to write more in a more meaningful way is today's complaint straight from the trenches of my own production needs.
Background: I pay for the YouTube Music App Subscription and Make custom playlists; Hourly; every day all; all year. I also own and wear an Apple Watch. I have a developer story related to share today.
User Story: User wants to Add currently playing music from YouTube Music App on my Apple Watch to playlist without touching the phone. Not Possible today in an eZ Way
This is very frustrating when I can use my watch as a control for my digital day to day life but not for my music playlist curation.
I think the day when the Developers @ YouTube can fix this problem a lot of cooler things will be possible with in the bounds of advanced regular usage of the Apple Watch App YouTube Music which currently lacks playlist management features within it's player.
The solution: The solution is to improve the Apple Watch App YouTube Music much more to provide for the full features of the iOS App Player. I know GUI size is small but it is possible. I think this should be done sooner than later so users like me can leverage each device app (player) more regularly (which we believe they kinda want these days).
That's it for today. I pose a solution not just a gripe.
So in response i published some fan webpages to support the artist efforts while his site is unavailable to end users.
Checkout the new site: sole.kracker.org
FYI his new album was just recently released for purchase on Bandcamp, titled, "Dads At The End Of The World".
I think ... "it's very good, i would say it's great, you really have to buy it to hear it for yourself".
Today 7x Releases Exponential Basic 2.4.0.2 for Download and General Website Development use. This is the release I always wanted to share for the past 10 years+!
It's the stable product we all expected and deserved with literally thousands of bug fixes and product finishing improvements.
I wish that more people who are new to programming websites in general can benefit from this open source project download to build their own websites and learn how to use CMS software faster.
News on share, the exponential blog, 7x blog, 7x news and linkedin.
As I take a minute to remember where I came from. As an outsider looking inwards towards greater heights of personal achivements and programing success.
I remembering the eZ Publish Greatness that changed Lives for the Better with the simple lessons found in
"The eZ Song" (YouTube Video Of Song; Easy Listening Music; 'The Sharing Song' By Jack Johnson). Here are the Lyrics.
I'm a text files fan from back in the day, it's a format that resists loss or corruption, i use it to keep a written record of my copy and paste buffer contents for historical records.
I'm once again listening to classic Geeks In Space (Slashdot Radio) at Texfiles.com
A warning to viewers: Once you become a CowboyNeal Fan you just stop doubting yourself and then you really start to shine in all things. hehe ... kung-foo
