First-time wifi config for Raspberry Zero W using Debian 12: Bookworm

The Raspberry Pi Imager V 1.9.3 fails when configuring wifi for a fresh Debian 12 install on a Rasppi Zero W.

To do this manually, configure your wpa_supplicant config with

wpa_passphrase "YourSSID" "YourWifiPassword" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf

Map Roulette integration for Facebook's Rapid

You can learn more about how this feature was built by reading Rapid's PR#1221

Feature description

Map Roulette is a map editor similar to Rapid. In map Roulette users can solve Challenges which are composed of Tasks to be carried out. Once a user finishes all the tasks in a given challenge, the challenge is considered to be complete. You can learn more about it from their documentation.

The Map Roulette UI works by showing users Task Clusters in a given area. The tasks in a cluster can belong to one or more different challenges. Users can click on any cluster to zoom into it and break it further into smaller sub-clusters.

Users zoom in like this until they reach a point where there are no more sub-clusters, and the map only shows individual tasks. Here's an animation of how that works:

How to google bugs like a pro 🐜 👈😎👍

1. Introduction

After years of coding and debugging my code, I've had to search for a lot of bug fixes online. Because of this, I've come up up with multiple googling techniques. I'd like to share these techniques here, to help others save time while searching for code solutions online.

2. General search techniques

These are techniques that apply to any type of online search you want to do, not just coding. Later on I'll touch on the subject of how to deal with error messages, and code searches.
