Ageless Linux, a "technical provocation disguised as Linux distro," circulates among developers and privacy activists 🧩.
Built on Debian, it rejects age verification laws to defend open-source freedom from regulatory overreach 🔒.

It doesn’t panic right away, it gets a little into booting. #linux #VintageComputing #RetroComputing
Trying to boot Knoppix 3.3 on this old Pentium laptop and the #linux kernel panics. I’m using failsafe but apparently that’s not enough. The plan was to use a Linux so I could backup the hard drive over a PCMCIA 3com adapter. #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Retro Futurism is Back!
I am checking out the latest version of Commodore OS Vision v3. I installed this gorgeous, Amiga inspired Linux distro on an Intel N150 Mini PC.
Yes, the ISO is 38GB! We talk about why and dive into that amazing retro futuristic UI. Plus, I play some random Linux games to see how it performs.

Perl was weird, messy, brilliant, and absolutely foundational to the early web.
Before modern frameworks and JavaScript everywhere, Perl powered CGI scripts, forms, counters, search tools, admin panels, and the kind of text processing that made the first dynamic websites possible.
A lot of people remember Perl as a joke. History says otherwise.

More moaning about #linux. I'm trying to get a discourse server off the ground. Why the fuck do they insist on installing non-OS stuff in the middle of all the OS stuff.
/var/discourse is not a good default. And then fucking docker wants to be /var/lib/docker. Never mind how /var/lib doesn't make any goddamn sense.
Related to my earlier discussion of hard drive partitioning. What I would like to do is have a volume that is not the operating system, but is instead all the application data. The discourse data, database, assets people upload, etc. That way I can have this nice virtual disk that encapsulates it. I could theoretically build a new node, attach this drive to the new node, and migrate the site. I can snapshot that drive more frequently than, say, the OS drive. Lots of benefits to encapsulating it.

Remember GNOME Office? We believe it should return.
