I need to tell you something, guys. I keep accidentally closing Firefox or Chrome browser tabs when typing because I'm used to deleting words with [Ctrl]+[W] in Vim or bash. Ugh! Please send help! #linux #opensource

Oops, did I just reboot the wrong server?! 🤦♂️

If you've ever experienced that heart-stopping moment, then you NEED to know about Molly Guard! This lifesaver package protects your #Linux machines from accidental shutdowns and reboots.

Learn how to install and use Molly Guard: https://www.cyberciti.biz/hardware/how-to-protects-linux-and-unix-machines-from-accidental-shutdownsreboots-with-molly-guard/ #sysadmin

I will show you how to mount a piece of your RAM (in #Linux) for the new #Steam Game Recording functionality so that you don't have to wear-out your SSD. Of course, you can simply record to a mechanical drive with the same goal.

Time to check out #Linux to see if it could conceivably replace Windows 10 on my home desktop. I'm installing Linux Mint - the "you should try this one" consensus, from what I could see - on my new little Acer PC, rather than a VM or a live session on my actual PC, to get a feel for what a completely fresh start will feel like.

This won't be written as a guide to follow - this will be my first impressions as I set this up for myself. Suggestions and troubleshooting tips welcome as I go along. 🧵

I haven't actively covered #Linux + #FOSS for a few years, but that's changing soon.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear from you: what are some newer apps + tools you're really excited about?

Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Vrije Universiteit, receives the ACM Software System Award for MINIX, which influenced the teaching of Operating Systems principles to multiple generations of students and contributed to the design of widely used operating systems, including #Linux https://www.acm.org/media-center/2024/june/technical-awards-2023 #compsci

I used to run a little #Linux magazine over at Medium. Surprisingly, it has had more than 200,000 views since we *stopped* producing content for it in 2021.

As I explore dipping my toes back into Linux and FOSS coverage, I'm curious what you all think about Medium in 2024?

(I haven't touched it in 3 years, and publishing platforms like this haven't been on my radar, so don't hold back with your opinions -- I'm genuinely curious).

Remembering Larry Finger: he learned as he went, left his mark on many, and made Linux wireless work. He contributed to 94 Linux kernel releases, with 1464 total commits since 2006.

Curious - how many folks actively attend Linux User Groups (LUGs) or Linux-related Meetup groups these days? If you do, which groups do you attend?

Trying to get a sense of what LUGs/Linux meetups are still alive and kicking these days.

(Please boost for reach!)
