That’s awesome! I do have a VPN on my Linux box. Any way to restream via plex or jellyfin so I can watch it on the living room TV?

Doesn’t really matter. I can watch it on the monitor. Not in the US rn and I really miss NFL.

I’ve been running some form of Unix since 1985. Transitioned from 386BSD to Linux in '93. The last version of Win I bought was in Win 3.0 in 1991. It was horrible.

That said, Win has the apps and is perfectly reasonable as an OS now. Where it’s unreasonable is the privacy invasion and use tracking. I mean, a keylogger by MS? No.

Linux is a PITA. But it don’t spy on me.

No. Not at all.

386BSD was extremely limited. Originally, it only had support for the 386DX series. At the time, I had a 386SX. The kernel would not boot. So, I had to install on a friend’s computer, download a source patch for the kernel, recompile (which took forever), and then burn a working boot disk for the 386sx.

It came on 50 floppies. Didn’t have X11. Didn’t have working SLIP (ip over serial, before PPP). Had a shit sh.

Linux came on a bootable CD with everything and as long as your hardware was compatible, it just worked.

Not if you want compute for rendering or training.

Vice hates Mastodon. No surprise there, because Mastodon will never advertise on Vice or make a corporate relationship with Vice. They are not reacting to the technology, because the writer’s statement about Mastodon being built on an old technology stack in contrast to Bluesky are factual nonsense. They are reacting to the nonprofit nature of the Fediverse. We should expect more of this in the mainstream press.
