I’ve been using Mastodon at least once a day, and so far it’s been working out pretty well other than the occasional server hiccups and downtime. All the more reason for me to build my own Mastodon instance, my new year’s resolution. I plan to build it on AlmaLinux. It …
I’ve added an RSS feed from my Mastodon to my WordPress! If you look to your left on desktop, or scroll to the bottom on mobile – you’ll find my Mastodon feed! I’m starting to get a modest follower base on there! Lots of fellow users of the Deck of …
I’ve been keeping tabs on Mastodon for the last week, and so far I’ve been enjoying it! They rolled out an update yesterday that allows you to translate a foreign post (or toot! as they call it) with the press of a button! Now I can understand what people around …
Most people who know me are aware of my stance on social media. I’ve basically hated the idea since MySpace, and have always preferred self hosted options. One of my friends put together a small mastodon test server recently, and that gave me a good enough excuse to play around! …

My plans to reinstall Manjaro have hit a brick wall… Updating to Manjaro 21 didn’t fix anything, in fact it wouldn’t even let me into the operating system and produced the same result as yesterday when I tried to login. I tried installing ArchLinux, but the installer decided to throw …
I’ve been chatting here and there about my Linux adventures at work, especially to those who aren’t aware of how much it’s evolved over the years. One of my co-workers was even inquiring about good video/paint/audio software, and I named my current favourites (audacity, shotcut, krita, etc), he was quite …
I’ve been striving for years to use more Open Source programs when applicable, especially when it comes to production purposes. I was happy when I could happily say that I no longer needed to install Premiere Pro when I stumbled onto Shotcut as a worthy free and Open Source alternative. …
One of my favorite websites to read is GamingOnLinux, and recently they had an article about MangoHUD. I compiled it to try today, and I have to say it’s pretty nifty. MangoHUD lets you view your CPU/GPU stats on the fly, and it also reports what API your game is …
