New year, new OS for this M1 MacBook Air! I've been using Asahi Linux (via the flagship Fedora Asahi Remix) for a few weeks now. It's been my everyday laptop and I'm really impressed with how it's held up. Battery life is amazing, and the ARM L...

My band has a website. I made it using 1990s technology. And 2K20s technology. And I think it's pretty nice. In today's episode, I'll cover the Eleventy static site generator, and how I adapted a design made on vintage hardware (using AOLPress ...

Let's talk about 45Drives, why I like their open source Cockpit modules, as well as their tutorials and documentation about open source projects. I think it's rare to have a corporation care this much about open source. From my outsider view as...

VimWiki is my preferred notetaking solution because it's intentionally minimal. When I want to take notes, I want to take notes, not see a mind map or extra visualizations or photos to distract me. I'm old school! (Or just old.) In today's ...

Debian Testing is a great way to try out Debian and provide feedback to the project. But it's not a rolling release Linux distro. Although some successfully use it like one. In today's video, I'll show you how to try out Debian Testing for your...

Does anyone read descriptions anymore? If you read the description, comment with "That's a bossy video". Shoot, is that engagement farming? Oh well. What? Oh, right, I'm supposed to be describing this video. It's about Clonezilla! I love usi...

Shortwave is a Rust-based streaming radio (IP radio/internet radio) application written by Felix Häcker, and it's my favorite way to manage my streaming radio stations on Linux. It's a GNOME Circle application but I use it on KDE Plasma and Sway, ...

Linux boot media need not be tricky! In today's episode, I'll talk about four ways to flash an ISO from Windows (and other systems too). I know a lot of you are switching to Linux because of Microsoft's recent... ideas? I'll call them "ideas". ...
