I have a friend asking me a #linux question.

Anyone know of something off the shelf for this?

"Is there a reasonable way to have something 'watch' the mount, and if it fails then (1) periodically reconnect, (2) watch for any files erroneously stored "under" the mount folder, (3) if so move them to a temp folder, (4) upon reconnecting move the files to the mounted NAS? And also send me a notification over ntfy or something when this happens"

@killyourfm looks like you get a call out there too ;)

I know AI is shit. But I had someone AI search my non profit to see if I was legit and this is what came up.

I kinda like it :)

Well this is a new one to me. A Thinkpad Edge with the old style big barrel connector.

2026/2027 is going to be the year of the GNU / #Linux #desktop! How far are you in your Linux journey? What's your daily OS of choice?
(If you're forced to use Windows at work, I don't consider that a daily driver of choice)

For the next two days, Breathedge is completely free to add to our Steam libraries, and it should be a great space crafting game for our #SteamDeck:

Scientists were too preoccupied with if they could, rather than if they should. 🐈‍⬛⁠🐄

Hold on to our old hardware. Don't throw out old PC's/Laptops, give them a second life with #linux

Game developers: Target the #steamdeck as your performance target.

#gamers: stop throwing your money at AAA game publishers.

#ram production can't keep up, and it seems most of the supplies may be sold out until way into 2027

Your old, working, hardware is becoming more valuable day by day.

Is there a #linux distro that will boot up and run on one of these older Intel white macbooks?

Nothing is booting. I'm assuming because 32 bit?

#apple #mac #openSource

the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” is actually about me trying to find the IP address for my wife’s printer

Would you do anything with a good condition G4 powerbook, or is it hopeless?

Whoever fixed the #nixos calamares installer upstream to actually show progress (instead of just hanging out at 46% forever), THANK YOU!

The #nixbook installer has inherited this as well, and makes me gleefully happy!

#linux and #foss is THE BEST

Yay... its official!

#nixbook 26.05 is released!!

New installer, new version of cinnamon, new default wallpapers, lots of fixes.

Shel Silverstein poem published in 1981 …. Hmm does this remind you of anything topically relevant to today?

Ahhh yes. My most played game... "Compiling shaders"

#game #gaming

Currently in the testing branch of #nixbook . The 26.05 base update with the new cinnamon menu, better theme consistency when creating new users, AND a set of default wallpapers now included!

Next week, this will go live, with a new 26.05 based installer as well!

Stop hurting my friends

Back in April, I had the privilege of taking the stage at LinuxFest NW up in Bellingham, WA.

I spoke about how we're using Linux and Open Source to both reduce e-waste while empowering people that don't have access to solid technology.
In short, it's the story of the Computer Upcycle Project, and NixbookOS.

If you're at all curious about hearing the story, I just realize its been posted on youtube

Nineteen minutes. I need a self-maintaining system, at least in July. I want all goodies and the latest Cosmic. Don't want to be bothered with updates. Dusted off my Cosmix-Saigon, based on the great Nixbook project by @codemonkeymike . From iso to login, everything and the kitchensink installed and running: 19 minutes. Amazing!
