Help Eric Arduini and family
As some of you may know my brother was diagnosed in February of this year with a rare form of primary liver cancer that is unfortunately terminal. All funds will be donated to him and his family for medical bills and other household bills so that his family can spend the rest of his time with him and not have to stress about money as much during this difficult time.

Hi,
I’ve recently started listening to your podcast and I think I’m now hooked and will be a frequent listener.
I’ve recently switched from Windows after using it mainly for my work as a Systems Technician. I’ve always been a multi platform user, for example jumping between Mac OSx, DEBIAN and the Raspberry Pi – I need too be well versed to keep up with my work and industry. I did try and give earlier versions of Debian (between 2009-2011) a try but always found stability problems and managed to keep crashing my system due to the manual steps and troubleshooting of installing specialised applications. However, this time round, I’m about 2 months in and have found the distro I’m using is very stable and the ease of installing applications is now a task that’s simpler. software from major companies is also now readily available on Linux I find also – like Spotify I’m using PopOS.
You mentioned in one of your podcasts, that you use something to keep track of all the podcast you listen to, can you recommend something which is useful to allow me to subscribe and listen to the podcast I do on my Debian distro?
Great work with the podcast which is filled with useful information.

Hello Stephen,
I’m just curious, my daughter is training to become a registered nurse and she said that they are now going to be using mattermost for some of there communication sessions.She asked me (her tech guy) if it’s safe to use and who can see the conversation and can they download conversations.And next thing I know is your speaking about your mattermost server?So if it’s not to much to ask, would I be allowed to join one of your groups and see with my own eyes what this mattermost is all about please. You can kick me off after a week if you like 😊.
Thank you
Paul

Gentlemen,
Following up to being asked what podcasts I recommend here are a few:
* GNU World Order, a really unique Linux podcast that goes really deep into many different topics from different CLI tools, to people writing about their “Linux Origin Stories”.
https://gnuworldorder.info/
* Darknet Diaries, bi-weekly episodes about different hacks done in the world and the people who do them. What I really enjoy about this one is the host normally interviews the people involved in the hacks, so you can get true prospective behind why someone did something they did.
https://darknetdiaries.com/
* Hacker Public Radio, a grab bag of many different people making podcasts about anything and everything. Normally the content is in some way tech related, but not always. Anyone can record a podcast and be published on their feed.
http://hackerpublicradio.org/
Also on a quick note on Matrix: one of my favorite features is its ability to bridge out and chat to other protocols/applications. It works with IRC, Slack, Discord, and many others to different degrees. Matrix is a very worth giving a shot.

P.S. Ameridroid is my goto for buying Single Board Computers & accessories as well. Can’t recommend them enough for buying in the United States.

First of all I want to say Hello to everyone on the show! I started out listening to Linux For the rest of us and started listening to several of the other podcasts on the pod it’s network! The podcasts are a joy to listen to and has helped me get through many of my work days! Lately I have been catching up on the mini pc show and after listening to Steve a.k.a Door to Door and the rest of the cast I decided to get a Rasberry Pi 4 4GB and then I stumbled across the Crow Pi Kit! I ended up purchasing the Rasberry Pi and the Crow Pi Kit! All I can say is Wow ! I am happy that I made this purchase and I love the Raspbian OS I have only been using it a few hours but love it so far! The Kit arrived neatly and securely packaged and Elecrow has done a great job IMHO at delivering a functional and well put together solid device! I ended up putting a 512 GB card in it and this Kit will be my go to device for now! I don’t dislike Windows or Microsoft but I love being open to try and experience different devices and OS’s I will definitely be purchasing several more of mini pc’s ! Thank you guys all of you! Door I have never met you in person but I enjoy your knowledge and listening to your perspective on things! You all including your family and loved ones Be Blessed and Be Well !

VSCodium/vscodium
Why Does This Exist
This repository contains build files to generate free release binaries of Microsoft’s VSCode. When we speak of “free software”, we’re talking about freedom, not price.
Microsoft’s downloads of Visual Studio Code are licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contain telemetry/tracking. According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer:
When we [Microsoft] build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license.
When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license
This repo exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. The build scripts in this repo clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries to GitHub releases. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled.
