I subscribe to DistroWatch’s feed in Miniflux. Through this, I learn about different Linux distributions. Today I saw an update for FunOS. That is a fun name, but what is FunOS? [A]n Ubuntu-based Linux distribution featuring the lightweight JWM window manager. Interesting. According to the FunOS website, it is built...
I am collaborating with my friend Victor V. Gurbo (NLJ profile, official website) on a New Leaf Journal article which will go live tomorrow (October 14, 2025, if you are reading this after). I converted my markdown draft to LibreOffice for my final edits. I then sent the draft to Victor for him to review and […]
I had a Microsoft Teams call with my boss. I run Teams in Brave on my Linux workstation. My sound set-up is two Creative Pebble Pro speakers, with the left speaker having 3.5 mm jacks for a headset and microphone. For whatever reason, he could not hear me through my mic (a small MOVO brand […]
Back in July 2022 I wrote about Mullvad VPN offering 12- and 6-month activation code cards on Amazon (see Mullvad news release). I had my Mullvad account set to auto-renew back then. Last October, I decided to use the Amazon card option for the first time. I just activated my third Mullvad renewal card, this […]
My test running Ubuntu Touch on my Pixel 3a XL as my primary phone continues. I received an MMS for the first time today. Instead of displaying the MMS, the default Ubuntu Touch messaging app told me it could not be downloaded. I tried fiddling with the APN settings to no avail. Then I found […]
I had been using Balena Etcher to write Linux ISOs to USB sticks since I installed Linux on my current workstation back in 2020. I read something late last year or early this year about Etcher sending telemetry about the ISO being installed, regardless of the user settings. From there, I read a recommendation to […]
I noted in my most recent New Leaf Journal article that I am temporarily daily driving Ubuntu Touch on my phone. One problem on Ubuntu Touch is its limited native app selection. But that may not be a problem for my feed reader. I run my own Miniflux instance and I always use it in a web browser. […]
I have purchased and played (or read) visual novels on Steam. You can read my reviews of ACE Academy, Kaori After Story, and Return to Shironagasu Island, and LoveChoice for four examples. Setting those four aside, I have also discussed reading the Higurashi and Umineko series, all of which I originally purchased on...
From AlternativeTo: Mozilla Firefox is rolling out a new ‘shake to summarize’ feature in Firefox for iPhones, letting users generate an AI-powered summary of a webpage by shaking their device. I use Firefox as my main desktop browser and I run a Firefox fork called Iron Fox on Android-based devices. The iOS Firefox,...
I read this very nice post from Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry’s PolicySphere newsletter (it comes with my recommendation and has a hidden RSS option) collecting remembrances of Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated while speaking at Utah State University on September 10, 2025. I second Mr. Gorby’s introduction. Josh...
