@jorge well @wimpy has talked on #LinuxMatters about customizing NixOS for a better hardened system for the non-tech people (family / friends) he supports which were an original target for Ubuntu Mate. The way you promote #Bluefin seems to overlap here to a subset of target end users. I customize Ubuntu for use by several African tech colleagues who in turn support many more non-tech African literacy workers. Having an atomic / defined reproducible base that the tech workers can use is the goal.

I believe it was @popey on the latest #LinuxMatters podcast who talked about the joy of programming, using some examples of just coding in plain ol’ php (no frameworks) just to make something.

So, for the last week or so I have been taking an old routine in various languages, .NET and the WinSCP API and rewriting it in plain Python just because. It’s probably all wrong. But I have been chuffed at every stage of the game. I am almost ready to start using it IRL.

🎧 Dive into the latest episode of #LinuxMatters where the hosts discuss consolidating multiple services onto a dedicated server, contributing to large open-source projects, and the joy of retro gaming on a refurbished Steam Deck with RetroDECK, ScreenScraper, and ZeroTier. Tune in to explore the world of Linux with Alan Pope, Mark Johnson, and Martin Wimpress. 🐧💻

@cooper Jokes aside, I think it was @wimpy who recently did a bit on #LinuxMatters about the Stream Deck and using it to automate stuff in the Linux environment. It sounded really interesting, and even though I've managed to resist the urge to buy one just for that, if you have one already it could be a fun use for it.

Linux Matters · Automatic for the PeopleRSS is alive and well, and powering Mastodon bots, the best mouse for desktop Linux (possibly), and using the Stream Deck to automate desktop Linux.

@JoeRess Banner episode, well done all! I was literally yelling at my radio about the Lenovo choice. But turns out the z13 appears to be better than the usual black hulks.

With the slight "issue" that the 1200 euro config is unobtainium and the ones that are available start at 2200 euro. Which clearly is Macbook Pro territory.

Anyway, great (re-)start. Thanks and keep it up! #linuxmatters
