For some reason I can't get images to enlarge from my mastodon feed. Just goes to a blank gray window, and when I refresh it goes back to my main feed page. What's that all about? It worked before...

@artixx Bwahahaha! 😁

It's pretty rad that I can go to imslp.org and download crazy amounts of public domain sheet music to play. I decided I was in the mood to try some Vivaldi and now have sheet music of 12 violin sonatas. The internet is magical.

@kristiinakello

Yes, I too would like a US version!

Totally jealous of everyone going to Linux Fest Northwest this weekend. Next year it's for serious!

Have fun all y'all.

@artixx Ha! Totally. I always wanted to have the most god-fearing operating system. 😉

I love how I pretty much only follow linux nerdy people, but my feed is still full of cat pictures. Maybe it's a sign to post my own. I have lots! 😺

Been too busy to do any nerding for several months. So lame. Next months it's on: reinstall some operating systems and maybe make myself finally learn command line email. That sounds fun.

@Gargron

Yes please!

I'm retraining myself to not use social media, except for Mastodon which is the best, and instagram for werk. But I deactivated my facebook (I know, but I have a business page) and emptied out my twitter so I don't follow anyone but still own the user name and deleted my reddit. Weird how habit forming that stuff is even when I know it's dumb. Like having privacy abusing cupcakes in your pocket all the time.

My iphone is kinda crappy, but mostly I'm feeling contrary today and want to reboot everything. :)

Kind of missing the flip phone I had in 2005.

@architect
Makes sense. I always feel better knowing there are a few options.

@ChrisWere

That's reasonable. For some strange reason I haven't worked with LUKS before. I'll play with it.

@moonshake
I hadn't heard of zuluCrypt, that seems really good. Sometimes I'm lazy and like a gui.

Worf is my favorite. Just in case you wondered.

I have been using Veracrypt for a little encrypted bundle for my text notes and records. It is a good program, but isn't generally in standard Linux repos, so I have secret fears about tying my files to one program. Do you guys use encryption for personal documents and stuff? Any favorite way to handle such things?

@hergertme

That's awesome!
