I used it for a while, worth a look. npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey On the subject of note taking, when I was on Windows I would keep one massive text file open in TextPad. When I switched to Linux, Tomboy was peak note taking for me, and it’s all gone down hill from there. I have yet to find note taking nirvana. npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey Canonical working on #Ubuntu for the 'first RISC-V laptop'. How exciting. No price listed, or expected production volumes. Start the speculotron!

So I called them up and turns out they have a national outage. They said their server is down and nobody can reboot it until tomorrow! Mad. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/546/212/066/042/875/original/edf5999ba3d94256.jpeg npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey If you like older nerdy computer stuff, you should totally watch this video from Adrian's Digital Basement. In it he takes apart an old UNIX computer most people have never heard of. He also attempts disk recovery. No spoilers, but worth watching. https://youtu.be/iltZYXg5hZw?si=mGsLmuzoFFLu8tKd npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey @npub1gxj…vf86 Sure, you and I know that, but there's plenty of online weirdos who don't. npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey @npub16ur…mx4u The what, where? npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey @npub1dp8…cl9l We're figuring out how to add CI in GitHub actions too, so we can do the tests there as well. But I'd love to see a guide to install this on a server and do headless tests, so we don't have to rely on GH. npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey @npub19lt…qfjk I have just watched that about 20 times.

It’s only ~30 minutes in duration. Mostly not actually Ubuntu specific, and very digestible. https://ubuntusecuritypodcast.org/episode-224/ #ubuntu #infosec npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey [BLOG] "Today is my Birthday!

A bit of VR maybe? 🤔 npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey Woohoo!

Canonical has implemented one of my suggestions after the recent crypto scam issue in the Snap Store. This is excellent progress and should be applauded. 👏 https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/manual-review-of-all-new-snap-name-registrations/39440?u=popey #ubuntu #linux #snapcraft https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/145/213/985/508/908/original/f694ed2815db5e79.mp4 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/145/217/278/024/460/original/b3780b30ccc42bb4.png npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey What's the protocol when someone emails you asking you to "give up" the domain you've owned for 25 years because "You're only using it for a blog", and they want to use it for a community they want to build, and they don't want to have "JoinFoo" dot com. Do nothing? Explain that other TLDs are available? Tell them to "Jog on?" npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey [Blog] Hey! Remember a month ago I mentioned there was a scam BitCoin wallet in the Snap Store. There's another one. This time I took it apart to see how it works. https://popey.com/blog/2024/03/exodus-wallet-part-three/ npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey Getting the meaning of life out of an LLM is like pulling teeth! https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/117/275/597/063/265/original/cc13414e7ab75c64.png npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey I really liked the Xandros #Linux distribution pre-installed on the Asus EEE PC "Netbook" in 2007. There. I said it. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/089/344/222/390/333/original/200edb0d3acdf20f.png npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey I have a question for you, asking in good faith. 🙏 What (perfectly valid) reasons are there *not* to run #linux on the primary laptop/desktop in 2024? Excluding all of these, which are also valid: * Specific games don't run * Windows applications required * Missing hardware driver * It's someone else's computer * Steep learning curve * Don't like it * Never heard of it * Lack of technical support nearby * Bad previous experience * Prefer Apple hardware Interested in other reasons. npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey @npub1tvq…l6jk What gives with those weird twisted fonts around the edge of the screenshot? Are you playing it through a crystal ball? :D npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey @npub1tvq…l6jk I do wonder if these bumps can ever be explained away. It could be some random news article over there describing how to bypass the great wall with a new VPN or a new game with insane popularity, or a popular game which added a server in China. Who knows!? I find this stuff fascinating! :D npub1z79h89ekwn04zsvmyfdllv8e03m385ujjj54d5dl73375w9zgp9qtr23f2 popey Moved my account over from https://ubuntu.social/@popey to here. Yes, this is me.
