Looks like the WiFi mesh was the right solution for the horrendous WiFi coverage in the new flat.
3 little mesh routers later, and I have excellent speeds everywhere on both floors, and, more importantly in the office where I edit / publish stuff.
Ah yes, clearly an admirer of the fine arts and a very detailed appreciation of my work!
If you can’t even bothered to replace the various placeholders, I don’t think you’re doing your job very well, David.
I complained in the past that manipulating PDF documents on #Linux sucks. The default tools are basic viewers, but lack any modification capability, so I decided to look into tools that help you actually work with PDF documents.
Here are the best PDF tools for #Linux, to view, edit, merge, split, create, annotate, do OCR and more! Most are #OpenSource, but there are some gaps that commercial, proprietary solutions can fill as well:
In this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News video, I cover the #Ubuntu 23.04 beta, interesting developments for Mobile Linux, especially Ubuntu Touch, as well as Italy blocking ChatGPT, but not for the reasons you might expect...
Let's dive in:
I finally got my hands on a @system76 laptop: the Pangolin, a 15 inch ultrabook, sleek, with plenty of ports, a full AMD loadout, and solid performance and battery life.
If you want to learn more about it, here's my review:
Time for the weekly #Linux and #OpenSource news video!
In this one, we have @frameworkcomputer announcing a 16 inch laptop, with replaceable GPU expansion modules, we have @nextcloud releasing Hub 4, a new version with integrated AI tools, and a lot of updates to the core apps, and we have #Twitter planning to open source their algorithm at the end of the month.
Plus, screen sharing on Wayland should now work for every single app, and more!
I already looked at /e/, a degoogled Android ROM a while back, but now, it's time to try something closer to stock Android, with added privacy: @iode.
Not only does it give you a fully open source experience in terms of apps, but it also blocks all trackers and ads by default, in all apps, with a stock Android experience.
Let's take a look at how it compares!
@gnome 44 will be released tomorrow, so here is a nice (I hope) recap video with everything new!
From background apps,, thumbnails in the file picker, preferences to disable overlay scrollbars or mouse acceleration, and a few good solid updates to the core apps, it feels like this is a release that listens to user's wishes!
Time for your weekly #Linux and #OpenSource news video! In this one, we have #Docker Hub being pretty hostile to open source projects, we have the beta for #Fedora 38, #Ubuntu and #Debian trying to curb Python issues by limiting access to Pip, and more!

What about ping? too high??
@thelinuxEXP The 2 Google WiFi mesh routers I bought a few years ago have been stellar. Great speeds, very simple to set up and administer and no dead spots anywhere in my house or yard (I have a small house). They're not for someone who wants to micro-manage their network, but they're great for normies.
I'll be bummed when Google inevitably drops support for them, but - despite the expense - they've been one of the best tech purchases I've ever made.
@thelinuxEXP Last week I joined a 2024 model to a mesh run by a different class 2014 model, so at least hands-on experience confirms that range.
But their mesh system is older than that, so I'm not quite sure exactly what the supported span is. Enough that I didn't try to look up compatibility before ordering.
@thelinuxEXP I'm amazed at how much more reliable my signal is after switching away from the ISP supplied router.
Now I'm looking around for a mesh setup with VoIP and VDSL support for my parents' place... that's a bit harder.
