#podcast TuxJam 68 - Penetrative Testing Disco is out. Andrew, Dave and Kevie look at Debian based Chinese distro #Deepin, Alite, remake of the space classic Elite, and FOSS Broswer on Android. We also have a chat about #PodcrawlGlasgow. This combined with the usual mix of #ccmusic http://tuxjam.otherside.network/?p=351 Please note that we have a couple of additions: the show is now available in MP3 format as well as Ogg. There is also an uncut version of the show, there were plenty of out-takes after a podcast-free summer

This is easily the most important post on the #Slackware forum for ages. Pat Volkerding is in trouble. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/donating-to-slackware-4175634729/#post5882751
I'm compiling my own Linux kernel. Not done this for many years.
@lohang hello there!
Fellow Linux users: need to perform surgery on my laptop and first step involves resizing an existing ext4 partition ideally keeping its files. What's the fastest way? Command line methods are fine.
@Luke hello. I think we follow each other on Mastodon already. Shame about quitter but c'est la vie.
Fancy dress party, somewhere in Glasgow
Great costumes. Folk having a laugh.
Old guy stands by himself in the corner with a can of kestrel super. Stark naked except for a large shoe tied round his crotch.
"What have you come as?"
"Me? Ahm jus fuckin' aboot"

Just got my old Amigas 500 working including its hard disk. Amazing really as it's not been powered on for 25 years. Feeling a little emotional TBH.

22 minutes to install a complete operating system on a PC including database software, several languages (eg python, C) and oodles of other software. 17 minutes taken up by me carefully reading and checking stuff. #slackware
Confession: I'm reading about boot loaders and boot managers and finding it really interesting.
Dad, look, the characters in this game show real ethnic diversity!
Yeah, not only that but you're shooting them indiscriminately too.
