When a punk band, really, really, really, really wants you to choose the tape instead of digital.

OK I'm feeling good about the hardware so far. CPU: Intel i5-6600RAM: 16GB Drives: 3x12TB HDD, 500GB SATA SSD (OS), 2TB NVME (SSD cache drive) Next, I think I'll play around with TrueNAS Scale and ZimaOS.

Annnnnd I guess ZimaOS gets excluded before I even install it. Shame they don't have a Linux client :(

Cassette appreciation post: This is the debut full length from GUNSHIP. Side A is the entire album. Side B is Attack of the Mutant Camels for Commodore 64!Only 100 copies were made! Grateful to have known about the band before they got all popular :)

So I have a Foo Fighters flexi-disc, and that led me down a rabbit hole of research. This Tedium article is a FASCINATING read if you're interested in this peculiar (but historically awesome) media format. https://tedium.co/2018/06/12/flexi-disc-history(via @tedium)

Over the weekend I got Pi-hole up and running (first time user), and it sure is eye-opening seeing what your devices are up to. The screenshot that's all red, for example, is my Samsung smart TV, which is constantly talking to Netflix (and other domains, even when using my PC and not interacting with the "smart hub".) I haven't opened the Netflix app in at least two weeks.The other one all in green (allowed for now), is my Echo Dot with Alexa. That thing is talking to Amazon constantly...

Also, I immediately switched to the included L-CARS interface, because of course I did.

@NigelGreenway You know, when I upgraded my router (in preparation for the NAS), I realized to my horror how many of my smart plugs and smart lights need DEDICATED APPS on my phone just to get reconnected and activated. So yea, Home Assistant is high on my list of things to set up next. Have you had a good experience with it?

@NigelGreenway Forgive the complete noob question here, but: in order to control the smart devices with home assistant (especially locally without internet -- love that), does that limit the types of devices I can use? Will anything I'm using with Alexa be compatible? If that's way too broad a question and you don't feel like answering it, no worries :)

I LOVE THIS CHART. Slow and steady wins the race. Also, Valve has amended its December 2025 hardware survey results: the numbers are better than we thought: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/valve-amended-the-steam-survey-for-december-2025-linux-actually-hit-another-all-time-high/via @gamingonlinux

I spent a couple hours getting eXoDOS set up, and I am SMITTEN. This isn't a treasure chest of DOS games, it's a treasure VAULT. It's game preservation done right! The first game I wanted to check out was Wolfenstein 3D, and I was pleasantly surprised to see not just the original manual and hint book, but also a CNN Report about the game and iD Software, plus the full soundtrack! Many games also include one or several original magazine reviews. SO MUCH TO EXPLORE!! #DOS #Gaming #Linux

@alisynthesis In my research, I did stumble across someone installing it on Steam Deck. And I think with some gamepad customizations, you can absolutely use it in gaming mode. I only skimmed it, but it looked helpful: https://youtu.be/qeCSkxFjn20

If ladybugs are good luck, I just found enough for ALL of us on today's hike.

By the way, a cluster of ladybugs has the best name ever: a "loveliness" of ladybugs. The ones I found today are preparing to hibernate.

I think I have my camera setup dialed in for Handheld POV Steam Deck/Legion Go S shots. Does it look ok to you? What I'm picturing is starting with this angle, then wiping or transitioning smoothly to the same gameplay but fullscreen. (Oh, I'm starting a monthly "handheld gaming gems" video, highlighting 3 awesome indie games released that month. First three games are picked, recorded, and written up already!)#linux #indie #gaming

Mozilla: "We Choose Humanity." Also Mozilla: "But let's keep talking about AI until we're blue in the face." The saddest part is that the smartest marketing minds at Mozilla haven't figured out one simple truth: if Mozilla wants marketshare back, all it has to do at this point is completely REJECT everything AI. It's that simple. RE: https://stateof.mozilla.org
