My gf kept pointing at people at mastodon.

"Is that a man or a woman?"

> Don't know.

"How old is she, uh they?"

> Don't know.

"So you don't know any of these people?"

> Sure I do. That one runs Arch. This one runs BSD.

Yeah, baby.

I can't speak for the rest of the @linuxjournal archive, but I own the decade+ worth of articles I wrote. A lot of them are just as relevant today (I refer to them myself quite often). Would anyone be interested in some kind of "Best of Hack and /" polished and updated compilation?
I want to start an educational hackerspace to help poor people in my city, specifically a neighborhood that is being actively gentrified with local government money (Franklinton neighborhood, Columbus, OH). Obstacles: I have no professional certifications (for credibility), no money (sole provider for family of 4, working full time + driving Uber), and no time (see money above). I need time to study for certs (I have a personal roadmap) and enough money to take care of home and startup seed.

So I just watched this and thought it looked interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2rG4Dg6xyI

With that in mind - what is your dream? What are your obstacles?

How can you help someone else's dream?

I'll leave mine in a reply below.
