I've had time to reflect on my experience at #scale21x and my takeaway is: I sincerely miss being "plugged in" to the #Linux community 24/7.
Tracking the amazing developments. Interviewing maintainers. Watching the joy as people discover all the cool corners of a distro they're trying for the 1st time. Having a platform like Forbes and YouTube to broadly share this stuff.
At SCaLE many people told me they miss @Linux4Everyone. I miss it too.
A bit of #SCaLE21x trivia - our immutable desktop talk was done via @CollaboraOffice on @nextcloud on a self-hosted #Fedora server, which allowed us to edit it together in real-time and then run it locally in #LibreOffice for the presentation itself.
@killyourfm@thunderbird I did figure that out. I had an issue with one of my own sites. In a Hugo blog, if you have baseurl set as "/" rather than your domain, <guid> in the RSS will be a relative link, and Thunderbird won't offer a link to the full entry. I switched up my baseurl in Hugo, and now Thunderbird goes from the RSS to the full site.
The coolest #scale21x booth award -- and most genius donation method -- goes to NUCC (National Upcycled Computing Collective).
They took this soda machine and transformed it into a massive server from reclaimed and refurbished server racks. They even wrote a whole thing to do the transactions.
You stick dollar bills in, select which "flavor" you want, and it pops out a shell for you to access all weekend from the show.
Wow, what a week! #SCaLE21x was thoroughly amazing as usual. So great to re/connect with all of the wonderful people in the #Linux, #opensource, and #DevOps community.
I'm absolutely and utterly exhausted in a good way and yet already looking forward to doing this all again next year. 🐧
#SCaLE21x, it's almost time to say goodbye, but it's been a blast. Thank you everyone who came by our booth to share your stories, heard @linuxflower talk about Thunderbird for Android, and made our first time here a great one. 🐧 💙
