With as much as I list to @JoeRess you would think my cheap ass would throw you a $10r

@trivorak I will keep everything I make free as in beer to everyone for as long as I possibly can. It might mean waiting a few weeks or listening to adverts, but I will fight as hard as I can to make it so that $10 is always optional.

If you aren't in a position to spend $10 a month right now then no worries at all. Just listening is supporting me and the whole LNL family. Maybe spread the word instead. Every little helps.

Anyone still active on twitter needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

Big appreciation to all of you who follow and who like, share, and reply (even if it's to point out a typo) ✌️.

Amidst the shifting sands of AI slop, curated algorithms favouring specific types of content, and a broader shift to YouTube and Reddit for news, it often feels like blogs like mine are going the way of the elves in Lord of the Rings 🧝🏻‍♂️.

Your support, especially on a platform like this one, means a lot, so thank you!

Often late at night I'll send myself notes to remind future me of ideas for episodes and topics etc. I've just sent myself this and it's going to take some time to process it. Can I really bring myself to do something so monstrous? Tune in soon to find out!

The movie Civil War should be required viewing for all US voters in this election year.

I now find myself in agreement with @felimwhiteley. We are going to look back on this period in a few years and generative AI will be considered in the same light as blockchain and crypto are now.

@joel @aks @felimwhiteley I agree with Félim that Plasma is a great desktop! We agree on loads of things!

@robcresswell @felimwhiteley useful at what cost, though?

There are both pros and cons to Mastodon, when comparing/contrasting with Twitter.

Here's one MASSIVE con on Twitter's side of the balance sheet:

@jimsalter it makes you wonder what else you can buy. 😬

UK people:

Yes, this is an exciting chance to get rid of the tories. Let's not get complacent, though. It's not enough to just vote tactically. We need to talk to our friends and family members and anyone who will listen about how important it is to make Starmer the Prime Minister.

He might not be your first choice for the job, but it's who we have. The alternative is too horrendous to imagine.

So let's do this. Let's make sure we get this job done.

Idea for a sport:

Instead of moving really quickly, kicking or hitting or throwing a ball or something really accurately, or outwitting people, how about this?

You have to inflict enough brain trauma on your opponent to render them unable to stay on their feet.

Ubuntu Desktop’s 24.10 Dev Cycle - The Roadmap

"Our plan is to grow the Ubuntu Desktop team by at least another 50% over the next year and we are opening a range of positions across all levels of seniority in the coming weeks. At Canonical we think the future is bright for the Linux desktop and if you have the passion and skills to be at the cutting edge of performance, security, immutability and accessibility then we want to hear from you."

@popey when you want to apply but you once got an A- in finger painting at primary school so the boss man will turn you down.

Your regular reminder that all cryptocurrencies are a pyramid scheme scam, and that anyone encouraging others to get involved is doing so because they need new people to come in at the bottom to keep the whole pyramid propped up.

2.5 Admins 194: Thundering Mastodon

Mastodon’s link previews are causing downtime for web servers without properly configured caching, locking down DNS inside Windows networks, why using write-once backup media is a bad idea, and increasing the performance of a Microsoft SQL Server with SSDs and ZFS.

@jaibreadcat @25admins a non-technical person who wants a garden blog isn't going to host it on a VPS. They'd host it on something like WordPress.com. Your example isn't a very good one.

Installing Windows on the MacBook Air so that it’s hopefully no longer a $1000+ paper weight and maybe can be a machine for OBS and other streaming software and maybe Live2D and stuff

JoeRess,
@JoeRess@fosstodon.org avatar

@danirabbit I've found intel Macs generally run Linux pretty well so that might be worth considering (unless you want a Windows installation around).

@JoeRess@fosstodon.org avatar

@danirabbit ah right.

Whenever I, or someone else, posts a link to this blog on Mastodon, it DDoS's me and brings the site down for a couple minutes.

@kev is your site running WordPress?

@JoeRess@fosstodon.org avatar

@kev are you doing any caching in Kirby?

JoeRess,
@JoeRess@fosstodon.org avatar

@kev thanks for the info. I'm concerned about my WordPress sites so hopefully this will get sorted soon.

Ubuntu 24.04 is out and we have mixed feelings about it. Plus bad news for RISC-V, a new Linux distro might control safety systems in cars, a classic media player is back from the dead, and more. With guest host @jimsalter from @25admins.
