Bluefin LTS has hit RC!
That said despite the IPv4 and v6 addresses showing up as NL in every database I've checked. I am STILL getting a 403 from lgbtqia.space. I give up. Oh well fun evening project.
My $12 VPS in London is paid up for the next 11 months though…I’ll have to think what to use it for.
I’ve sent the admin an email to see if they would consider unblocking just the apis needed for federation. I’m not holding out much hope though.
We’re trying to sell the place and I’m told piles of hoarded junk doesn’t help with that.
A lot of it is boxed up already but still feeling moderately stressed about it. Still need to shut down the lack rack…

If you’re on Linux, there’s a good chance you use GNOME: it’s the default experience across Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora Workstation, Endless OS, and more. If you’re on another desktop, you still likely use components developed by GNOME contributors—or maybe you get apps from Flathub.
Want to become more than just a user? How about… a friend? 🥺 Become a Friend of GNOME to support GNOME, Flathub, and the work we do!

Oh wow. The UK government has finally grown about 1/1000000000th of a pair.

The idea of Bluefin and Aurora (and Bazzite, the gaming focused one) is that they take the atomic fedora base and make an opinionated “just works” out of the box experience on top of it. Obviously that kind of customisation is going to be quite different between the different desktops.
Bluefin has received the most attention as it is the focus of the overall project, and Aurora is an offshoot with a smaller team. Both are really good though to be honest.

In some ways I am impressed. On the other hand I wish it didn’t take so long for him to admit it and give the money back…
Would it be very childish of me to find this incredibly, incredibly funny?

Mechboards.co.uk are having a Dutch auction for all the random stuff they need to get rid of. I scored a Keychron V6 Max for £80 which I’m pretty happy with!
