"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

I published my complete guide for setting up a GoToSocial server! You can find it here: https://ovelny.sh/blog/a-complete-guide-for-your-gotosocial-server/

This is an attempt to cover *everything* you might need after deploying your VPS:

* Initial setup and hardening.
* Reverse proxying using Caddy.
* Additional hardening with fail2ban.
* Some custom rate limiting.
* Web Application Firewall using OWASP Coraza.
* Automated backups using restic.

Everything has been thoroughly tested and should work right away. This is a long guide to follow but is worth the hassle! Feel free to boost if you find this useful 💜

After my having 3 Sinclair computers, I moved on to Atari ST, for a week... before I switched it for an Amiga. At the time, Atari and Amiga were the big names in home computing, while those with more funds might have gone with a Mac or a PC.

What did you use?

I've played a bit with the #TODOmd hook and I know how many TODOs there are in some popular Open Source projects:

* CPython: 187 TODOs
* Linux: 3788 TODOs
* Git: 112 TODOs
* Go: 455 TODOs

Source: https://codeberg.org/lig/todo-md/src/branch/main/README.md#examples-of-todo-md-generated-for-some-open-source-projects

What other Open Source projects should I enhance with the TODO.md file?:)

#OpenSource #TODOmd #CPython #Python #Linux #Kernel #Git #Go #Golang #DevTools

Coworker: Sir, how do you deal with stress, depression, and the rat race of life?

Me: Ah, my friend, whenever existential dread starts creeping in, I remember... somewhere out there, in the giant maze of Microsoft, there's a poor soul whose sole purpose is to ensure Microsoft Edge functions flawlessly on Linux. Suddenly, my problems seem far less difficult to solve. It's all about perspective, you see. 😉

Bonjour le #introduction !

Je traine sur le fediverse depuis 2017 où je m'autoradicalise à vos côtés. Je souhaite la fin du 🔥 capitalisme avant la fin du monde. J'aime la technologie hors des GAFAM, je suis fan de #gentoo et d' #alpine #linux . J'aimerai que chacun puisse s'auto-héberger et j'ai développé une obsession pour les ⌨️ #claviers (mais je me soigne par injection de radinerie).

Je passe mon temps à mater des 🎬 films et il me tarde le beau temps pour aller faire des promenades en 🚲 #vélo et je fais un peu d' 🧗‍♂️ #escalade.

Je tiens un blog 🔗 que je spam de temps à autre pour éviter de me répéter. Je co-administre également l'instance :craftopiart: Craftopi.art ainsi que le réseau irc Geeknode où vous pourrez me retrouver. :-)

My latest blog post: Next Trains

https://mikecoats.com/next-trains/

My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.

Reposting my #introduction, since I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces recently. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.

I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press. Feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project!

We could all do with more music from independent artists in our lives, so I wrote about how I'm trying to help with that, in my own small way. #Fediverse #TheIndieBeat #Bandwagon #Linux

What command do you prefer for switching to root?

Edit: I realize now that I forgot a looot of options. So many ways to switch to a root shell. If only I could add more options to a mastodon poll in an edit...

#linux #unix #sysadmin #sudo

#introduction après quelque temps sur mastodon :
- intéressé (assez pour y passer trop de temps) par les outils informatiques du monde #libre en commençant par #linux (#MXlinux user here) mais aussi #android et #foss
- réfléchit aux outils libres... qui libèrent ! notamment autour de la #décentralisation et du #smallweb #smolweb
- kiffe la musique du #Mali
- de manière très originale aime la #nature, les #arbres, et développe ses compétences en #permaculture
- un peu de #photographie de rue

Hey, I'm looking for resources to get better at Linux administration - preferably servers... I have basic knowledge - even if I use Linux almost every day.

Do you have book / website / video recomendations?

Thanks for the help.

Since Debian Linux has recently left X, you can follow it on Mastodon:
