I've had this Surface Pro 3 that I refitted with Linux for a while. Figured I should finally sticker the thing. Managed to do so with a nice subtle nerd joke, too.
Not too long ago, I set up a home NAS using OpenMediaVault and became a big fan of it. So I wrote a little "getting started" guide.
Curious about some more details about the recently-formed Academy Software Foundation? I've got a few.

Some folks are still a bit twitchy about hosting their projects on GitHub. So I wrote a little article about what options you have available.
Soooo... been MIA for a bit due to conference travels and what-not. How goes it, Mastodon?
So how is it that I've gone all these years without knowing about the -L feature of ssh?
New experiment! Now I have a Joker ring. Should I make more? Malachite and purpleheart.
Wanted pancakes. Didn't have milk in the house. Too lazy to go to the store. Had to improvise.
And that's how I figured out how to make pancakes with canned coconut milk.

Huge Props to Bart and the developer for making this open source plug-in!
Little update on that whole Blender YouTube blocking thing that was happening. Looks like it's been resolved now. And as a bonus, the Blender Foundation has started to investigate PeerTube.

Well that's just flat-out shitty. Apparently YouTube is forcing the Blender Foundation to add ads and monetize their YouTube channel.
