99 days away... I'm back.
I'm officially a social media whore until July.

I'm surprised how worried people have gotten over the channel going dark... but then again I suppose when somebody has posted a video every day since 2011 and then vanishes without a trace... its a little odd

Inky, the boys and myself... we're fine. I promise. This is all literally down to a bunch of planks pointing the finger, shouting at each other while trying to bleed as much money out of the other as possible.

On the 24th August I was given the boot from the YouTube network that managed my channel. Since then my channel has been in a bizarre state where all videos, old and new, are automatically blocked world wide. YouTube is blaming the network, the network is blaming YouTube. Since I post daily vlogs for myself, family & friends I'm resurrecting the backup channel until the main channel is fixed.

News to folks on Mastodon but I'm trying to update as many people as possible.

@KylinuxCast@linuxrocks.online I have a feeling you like Ragnarok Online...!? Ever thought of playing again?

@ChrisWere @HexDSL Does anybody know if EDF 4.1 or 5 work with Proton? I think a Linux EDF group needs to be formed to save our mother earth from alien attack.

When you buy a new laptop... only to have it superseded by the manufacturer 2 - 4 weeks later...

@BryanLunduke@mastodon.rocks Phantasy star Online was released on PC moons ago... fans have been propping it up since before dinosaurs went extinct :)

Runs brilliantly in Wine... My kids and I play PSO quite often. A game that was new when I was young, thanks to fans, can be shared with my kids :)

Well that was odd...

I've been away from social media for a while. I was surprised when I returned to find that my feeds were empty.

Some of the people I followed had vanished.

Just finished watching a video by @ChrisWere sharing his final thoughts of Ubuntu and the Unity desktop running on real hardware.

Glad to see the videos move from a VM to actual hardware. The choice of hardware was pretty nice as well.

Spoiler Alert... it was a slightly upgraded version of the Triton from Entroware https://www.entroware.com/store/laptops/triton

Nice write up about the #WanaCry Ransomware by @malwareunicorn of twitter.

Its an interesting read but totally over my head.

Microsoft call out the NSA and warn govs of the world...

I have a quick question @BryanLunduke@mastodon.rocks When did you stop being so negative in the freedom dimension?
