#SolarWinds wrote a blog post a in 2019 about how #FLOSS is dangerous because anyone can push malicious code to FLOSS projects:

The irony could not be sweeter.

I wanted to do PeerTube, but I can't resources-wise at the moment. But a single-user Mastodon instance is something I could certainly swing.
I used to have a very lukewarm opinion of Mastodon/fediverse stuff in general, but I've decided that it is, in fact, not just Obtuse Twitter™ after all and is something else/better entirely.
I may look into making a single-user fediverse instance for myself in the near future. I've been lurking around here more recently, and I've followed a lot more people. I thought about doing this in the past, maybe I should go ahead with it...

The third part of my OpenRC tutorial series is available now. This one goes over /etc/rc.conf in particular, showing how to configure OpenRC globally.
If you use eix, you must run the command eix-update each time portage syncs to remote repositories (for instance, when you run emerge --sync) in order to have an updated cache to search. In this video, I show you how to use 
#Gentoo's postsync hook functionality to easily automate this process:
Gentoo's emerge command has the built in --search option for searching for packages, but a greatly superior tool exists in the portage ecosystem: eix. Check out this video to learn how to use eix, the faster, better-formatted package search utility for portage:
My newest video is on the topic of upgrading the #Linux kernel in #Gentoo, which is not a straightforward process if you are a first-timer. Check it out!

Keywords, in #Gentoo #Linux, are used by portage to determine if an ebuild will be compatible for a given CPU architecture, and whether or not the package that ebuild applies to will be stable on said architecture. In my newest video, I go over how to use the package.accept_keywords file to mask and unmask packages on the basis of their keywords:
Here is my most recent #Krita #Python scripting video. In this video, I go over creating manuals and customizable keyboard shortcuts for your Python plugins:

New video coming out later this evening. It'll be the first #Gentoo video in a while!
My most recent video covers some ways to clear recent search highlights in #vim without searching for a gibberish string:
