My latest blog post: Migrating my Mastodon server to Masto.host

I migrated my Mastodon server from a self-hosted DigitalOcean droplet to an instance provided by Masto.host. The process was straightforward and took less than an hour.
Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux
You can find beauty in the oddest of places.
WSL9x runs a modern Linux kernel (6.19 at time of writing) cooperatively inside the Windows 9x kernel, enabling users to take advantage of the full suite of capabilities of both operating systems at the same time, including paging, memory protection, and pre-emptive scheduling. Run all your favourite applications side by side -

Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

Wassup fedi, it's the weekly post again
Well, sad to say again, not really much this week, just had tests from school, very daunting, then after we'll have programs and whatnot,
Haven't been online on the fedi at all this week so I can't provide feedback, but I hope I'll have time to check again next week.
Also I'm trying to learn linux for a project I'm doing and I don't know where to start, so anyone from the #linux community, your help will be greatly appreciated, ps: I'm a complete noob

(€) Ich habe über die letzten Jahre viel recherchiert, selbst bei @ownclouders gearbeitet, auch bei @mailbox_org, die heute @OpenCloud betreiben. Und ich war Speaker auf der #nextcloud conference. Letztere hatten immer wieder Probleme mit Aussagen von mir, man traf sich vor Gericht, der Vergleich war für uns sehr erfreulich. Egal. #opensource #linux hat so viele spannende Geschichten zu erzählen, die von #owncloud und #nextcloud und #opencloud ist eine davon.

The plan? Simple. Install #SteamOS on the GEEKOM A5, poke at the hardware, and feed it a few games. And yeah, it has work with my Steam Controller. #Linux #miniPC

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right - for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.
So I’m happy to announce a new service:
The BSD Cafe Journal - https://journal.bsd.cafe
At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.
The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles - a place to inform and connect.
Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafes to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed - all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.
What it’s not:
It’s not here to replace personal blogs, or excellent newsletters like @vermaden 's. And it’s not an aggregator.
What it is:
A place where authors can write original content, share links to posts on their own blogs or elsewhere, publish guides, offer insights, or dive into technical explanations.
The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general. No hype (sharing a cool new service is fine, posting non-stop about the latest trend is not), no drama, no politics. The goal is to bring people together, not divide them. To inform, not inflame.
Respect, tolerance, and inclusivity are key. Everyone should feel welcome reading the BSD Cafe Journal - never judged, offended, or excluded.
The platform I’ve chosen is WordPress, for several reasons: it’s portable (runs well on all BSDs), has great built-in role management (contributors, authors, etc.), and - last but not least - supports ActivityPub.
This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse (like: @stefano ) and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.
Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.
The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy - all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.
Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.
Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell.
So here’s my call for action:
Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge - the Journal is waiting for you.

Is your company looking for a keen self-hoster with plenty of #Linux experience? I grew up with #RaspberryPi and have picked up many skills along the way including #React, backend JavaScript (#NodeJS) and #Docker. My current obsession is monitoring all the things with #Grafana, #PRTG and #Prometheus. I’m based in the UK but open to primarily English-speaking roles in Germany, too. Currently wrapping up my Advanced Software Development degree but eager to continue learning! Boosts appreciated :D
A daily #Linux command from #LinuxLexiconBot:
samba (8) - Server to provide AD and SMB/CIFS services to clients
I am a human, but my little bot posts a random Linux command daily. If you don't want to see it you can mute the LinuxLexiconBot hashtag.

Happy hacking!
… And so it begins.
I am laying in bed rn reading deposition transcripts from SFC's lawsuit against #Vizio.
I know it's not a flattering photo & now the #DebConf 2016 team in Cape Town know I use the T-shirt they gave me as sleepwear.
We're starting a 14-week marathon to adjudicate your rights under #GPL when you go to the store and buy a #Linux based device.
Watch this space & SFC's website for the journey.
There's a reason why courtroom fiction is popular TV. Get ready for the real stuff!

Typical steps for the manual installation of Guix System are available in Guix manual.
Quoting the introduction:
GNU Guix is a package management tool for and distribution of the GNU system. Guix makes it easy for unprivileged users to install, upgrade, or remove software packages, to roll back to a previous package set, to build packages from source, and generally assists with the creation and maintenance of software environments.
The manual covers many interesting topics and Getting Started is a good entry point. Git repository of GNU Guix is hosted on Codeberg, you can reach the community via various communication channels as well.The LiveCDs includes proprietary firmwares from the Nonguix channel, you can get help for relevant topics from their communication channels ;)
