We're four weeks and a couple of days away from the first Vintage Computer Festival Pacific Northwest since 2019!

If you're a fan of retro computers this is a show you don't want to miss. If you have friends or family you want to show why you love the computers of your past, here's your chance!

The selection of #Linux books available at the #CLT2026 was a bit lacking, so I finally decided two pick up two books in physical form, whose (legally aquired) digital copies helped me a lot on my Linux journey. 

And special shoutout to @william_shotts for offering The Linux Command Line for free as the long running and updated internet edition. It's been super helpful! 🫶

(And thanks to @nostarch for being not like #Pearson 💩).

Ugh. It's been a day already and it's only 9:30am.

With a layoff at my now former company, lots of us have been impacted, including me. The good news is my calendar is now free and clear.

I have no idea what comes next but if you know of any #InternalCommunications roles in #Massachusetts, I'd really appreciate the heads up 😃

@nostarch has a new Humble Bundle featuring the new edition of my book, as well as, several other fine Linux books.

Proceeds go to support @eff

Good morning Fedi friends!

A routine reminder that I've been running a series of #blog posts - "a newbie's guide to #selfhosting with #YunoHost" - and so far I've published 5 articles:

Every week I receive messages from people mentioning how my guide helped them embark on their self-hosting journey. This makes me SO HAPPY, thank you!

I wonder if you have requests for future articles? Or do you think the series is now complete?
