My latest project is restoring this 2009 HP Notebook to its #Windows7 glory in 2025. Why? Aesthetic, mostly. It's being held together by the efforts of the Internet WayBack Machine and #FOSS, but it does the job (probably better offline)
A screengrab from a Windows 7 Desktop. On the left are icons of installed programs: Audacity, Avast Antivirus, Krita, LibreOffice, Notepad++, r3dfox, VLC Media player, GIMP, Inkscape, kdenlive, and Mixxx. In the center of the screen is a terminal displaying fastfetch with the specs of the computer. Some key notes are 4GB of RAM and two intel pentium processors at 2.2 Ghz each.

I've been playing with #OpenBSD a lot lately. I have kind of a minimal setup that I wanted to show off. I put on #fluxbox and built a pretty minimal menu while also figuring out how to modify the #xenodm greeter.

I renamed my profile to reflect my latest (oldest) business adventures. New logo coming soon, and it's going to be so fucking cool!

Convincing you to install linux is actually a massive conspiracy to get you to give me your laptop

I just learned about anticheat on Windows being the big reason gamers won't try Linux, and I'm sorry, but I agree with Linux. The entire game is written for userspace, but in order to prevent cheating, third-parties need access to kernelspace? Nah, I'd play a new game. Fix the problem in userspace.

Coming in early for #ScreenshotSaturday, I've got a fresh install of #GarudaHyprland. I customized some colors and got rid of #FishShell in favor of #ohmyzsh. I'm a lady of simple elegance and keyboard-controlled workflow. Plus, the gaming resources on Garuda 😍
A screenshot of my current desktop, Garuda Hyprland, including 4 open transluscent purple terminal windows with a nature background and a customized waybar on the bottom of the screen complete with an App Menu, workstation screen menu, and system information tabs.

I wrote a little something this morning in case you felt like giving Linux or BSD a try. You have options for your data.

A lil #screenshotsaturday BSD-edition. I've got a side-by-side of the base installs of the primary three: #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, and #NetBSD. They take very little resources, which I love to see for potential system designs. Host system is #GarudaLinux using #Hyprland
A screengrab of a grid of 4 terminals open. The upper-left is OpenBSD 7.7 amd64. Uptime is 15 minutes. 9 packages are installed. The shell is korn shell, and the memory used is only 37 MB. The upper-right is NetBSD 10.1 amd64. Uptime is 32 minutes. 3 packages are installed korn shell is the shell, and 254 MB of memory are being used. The bottom-right is FreeBSD 14.3 amd64. Uptime is 2 minutes. 6 packages are installed. The default shell is sh, and the memory being used is 188 MB. On the bottom-left is a console running 'htop', which shows hardware usage statistics for the host system.

I've been working on a #Webstore using #Astro and I really wanted to make the astro-ecommerce template work, but I'm finding that it's quicker to reverse engineer said template while simultaneously building something new. Bootstrap in 2025? Good lord!

IT Tech humor meme. A man threatens a crying child with 'something to cry about,' which turns out to be a complex book titled 'The kubernetes networking guide.'

You know you've been using Linux too long when... you try to explain to your SO (significant other) that the reason the smart lights aren't working is because a library needed by the home automation server failed to compile correctly after a routine kernel update and you're considering rolling back to a previous version or possibly patching the driver manually, but you need to resolve a circular dependency issue with a seemingly unrelated audio package first. And they just blink slowly and ask why you can't just use the app like a normal person. 😳

#Schleswig-Holstein has become ground zero for a digital revolution that could send ripples across Europe’s public sector.

The mission? Replace 30,000 Microsoft Windows and Office government computers with Linux and LibreOffice by 2026. #OpenSource

Schleswig-Holstein verabschiedet sich von Microsoft-Produkten. Mit Linux und Libre Office lassen sich gleichzeitig Abhängigkeiten, Sicherheitsrisiken und die Kosten reduzieren.

Turns out, installing #google fonts and #microsoft fonts is enough to break #inkscape.

There is a workaround, but it's best to organize typefaces into the big 4 along the way: serif, sans, script, & design.

This is one of the obstacles for #graphicdesign on Linux. Not impossible, still worth it.

@bsky.app would benefit from more than one verification method. Make them different colored check marks. Domain verification is credible, scanning IDs works well, security certificates are fine (but mostly for the tech-savvy). Give them each a color or something.
