Damon Thomas<p>Does anyone use emacs to play their music? Tinkering with bongo and.. not bad! Using filenames rather than tags creates a few glitches. But fun to have all the familiar keys working. <a href="https://c.im/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a></p>

Does this beautiful animal wear a #Debian swirl? Lovely!
Recently I've been having a clear out of accumulated old computers - laptops and desktops - and wiping them down and installing fresh #Debian #Linux on them before putting them up for free on Freegle, a give-away site we have here in the UK (modelled after freecycle). These old machines won't run a safe version of windows, but Linux makes them usable again. Here's the current stack waiting but the front door for pick up - quite a few have already gone. The three in the middle are not working - no HDD or memory - but the rest are. One of those laptops still has windows xp pro on it, because even Debian struggles on a machine with only 512mb of ram! One that went this evening was a big screen Acer Aspire that went to the organiser of a local computer club. #recycling
For my #FIAF presentation & workshop in Bologna end of the week, I've put together a clean "#PlugAndPlayAI" setup:
#USB #LiveDistro: #MXLinux #GNU #Debian with #Ollama, #LLava and #OpenWebUI in #Docker and #LLM files on another USB3 #nvme
Fast like a local install. Given enough RAM and CPU/GPU.
Scary how easy it is to do that.
Bonus: Creates self-replicating #ISO boot images of itself (in current configuration) in less than 5 minutes. 
.
Wow.

@odd @frameworkcomputer for sure, I've also had good experiences with Lenovo Thinkpads and Dell. I avoid HP laptops and printers as much as I can.
Is there any great book on #AlpineLinux ? I love the concept, and love the considerations of the operating system. Yet, I usually opt for #Debian since I am much more familiar with it. It would be great to change that in the mid-term.

Tengo instalaciones de #ejabberd por @ejabberd y #prosody por @prosodyim. Ambos facil de instalar (paquetes de #Debian) y mantener, con muy poco mantenimiento.
La configuración de ejabberd (YAML) me gusta mas que prosody (Lua). Uso ejabberd con #PostgreSQL, prosody con "file storage".
Prosody ya tiene invitaciones, que me parece buenisimo:

No tengo experiencia con otros servidores, como #Tigase por @tigase u #Openfire por @news.

Now that I'm all in on #Linux, it's time to replace my Lenovo gaming laptop with hardware that has proper support. So... #System76 here I come!
Pretty excited to get this new machine and set it up...whee! No more crazy Nvidia driver bullshit, no more laptop fans whirring!
Not sure if I'll stick with the pre-installed PopOS or head over to #Debian or another distro, but it's so great to know that the hardware was put together with Linux in mind, and I didn't have to do it! :D
#LinuxMint / #LMDE and #Gnome on #Debian all recognize and run MacBook webcams OUT OF THE BOX. This wasn't possible *last year*. Holy shit.

About usAt CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on http://home.cern. Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
There is no way I would have my computer doing this many things were I still using Win10
- web browsing
- ripping a CD
- listening to music
- tuning and decoding digital #AmateurRadio modes
And sometimes I play games while this is all going on, too.

Yolateng0 Appel à la communauté :
Mon enfant étant dyslexie sévère couplé par des démarches aux accès des outils numériques qui traînent dans le temps (démarches MDPH reconnues mais commissions longues).
QUEL environnement bureautique est , à votre connaissance, adapté pour ce type de problématiques? Je pourrais envisager de créer un pc adapté.
Distributions? Logiciels?
Merci par avance

Ein Thinkpad X240 von 2014 läuft mit Debian testing, KDE und wayland ganz brauchbar.
