@Moisturizor I've gone down a new rabbit hole, haha. I am watching another one of his videos about repurposing a 5GHz antenna. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kBEoL3x_Fs

Since I hear so many content creators mispronounce it, MATE (desktop environment) is pronounced "Mah-Tay" and it is named after yerba maté, the South American plant. Learn more at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATE_(desktop_environment)#name #Linux #MATE

I have been working on a personal webpage to be hosted on GitLab and I am learning to "code" through the terminal. I am still using nano (I don't see that changing anytime soon), but I installed Terminator and switched my bash shell to fish, which has really helped with the work-flow.

@vkc Great video! I looked at your page and it looks awesome! I recently got inspired to make a personal site (still in progress, not shared it yet) and all of that HTML knowledge I had from the late 90's starting rushing back. My goal is to write it all myself, maybe annoying my wife to do some graphic design. I did learn to do a little java script and css in the past few days, but I am keeping it all super simple.

I think mastodon.social is having more server issues today. I keep getting 503 errors popping up and its running very slow.

@Linux I understand your perspective. My issue is IBM's still a large, old-school corporation. Hard to trust them after they ditched CentOS (free RHEL rebuild) for CentOS Stream (upstream dev) right after the acquisition. I don't believe we should rely on big tech. I prefer community-built tools & supporting them when I can.
