      Happy Birthday 🎉🐧

      On this day, Linus Torvald first posted that he was working on a small and free operating system and now, 35 years later, it has become one of the most popular platforms on the planet.

      If Linux's story shows us one thing, it's this: Together we can fight for a better internet ✊

          It was hard to swallow the cost of 256GB of DDR5; but I've pushed this poor 2.2TB database as far as I can with a Threadripper 1950X and consumer NVME drives... next iteration:

                                  In dealing with Trump/billionaire/techbros, Europeans suddenly had prominent Europeans locked out of their google mail and Microsoft software.

                                  Europe is moving off US software.
                                  Canada has more reasons than Europe to abandon Gmail, Windows, Word, cloud and data.
