A new podcast episode of TuxJam is out. With Christmas in mind, the boys are discussing gifts for your geeky loved ones.
Though, perhaps, you should beware geeks bearing gifts. 😃

#TuxJam 78 – Gifts for Geeks 2019 is out. Andrew (@mcnalu), Dave (@thelovebug) and @kevie talk about the array of gifts that they would love to wake up on #Christmas morning to. We're pretty sure other geeks would appreciate these too https://tuxjam.otherside.network/?p=459 #podcast #ccmusic
Stage 2 of my Amiga 3000 repair went well today. All traces of the ghastly akali from the leaky battery have been cleaned up with distilled vinegar, and two damaged sockets successfully removed despite some horribly corroded solder.
It's drying now after a thorough flush with water then isopropyl alcohol. Next I'll need to check for damaged traces but at a first assessment it's not as bad as I'd feared.
Thankd to @perloid for some his helpful advice earlier.

The Duffercast 17 is out, entitled Bleeding Nipples. Health warning: I might be heard singing. Featuring @thelovebug @chalkahlom@nu.federati.net @Moosical and the cool Swiss French guy whose handle I can't find here.

@thelovebug @kevie trying out fedilabs for #tuxjam
Trying out the @fedilab app. First impressions are good. I like how it auto completed my instance name in setting up my account. Quick and easy.

Thanks to everyone who came to @oggcamp@twitter.com and ESPECIALLY everyone who helped! I will be in recovery for a week but it was epic. I'm in Manchester till tomorrow. Tonight I will mostly be around the Pendulum hotel bar if anyone wants to catch up. #oggcamp

As well as plenty of #linux and #ccmusic talk #podcast https://tuxjam.otherside.network/?p=447
Weird. Seems my ISP makes accessing certain sites very slow eg inara.cz Can't imagine it's traffic shaping as the sites are low bandwidth, and not for streaming or suchlike.

All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.
Setup a wireless printer on linux. Worked first time. Painless. Not ubuntu but slackware with lpr protocol. Good old CUPS.

Happy winter solstice folks! 22.23 UTC this evening is when the Sun (or rather its imaginary, simpler cousin, the annual mean Sun) reaches its lowest point below the celestial equator.
