Linux user for ~20 years: Kubuntu on Desktop (previously Arch, openSUSE, Fedora), Ubuntu and Debian on servers. Have built my own distro / live-cd back in the day 🙂. Was a great learning experience for me then.
Like, use and advocate for Linux and open source software. Also, write about it, when I can. Program in Python most of the time. Other interests — self-hosting, static sites, theme development and user interfaces. Like Mastodon :)

Was looking up CommonMark and came across this nice tutorial on Markdown syntax. Learnt few things I didn't know before :)
IMHO Nextcloud should just include the download button next to the size column rather than displaying it in a dropdown box. This just feels like a waste of space.
Some nice tips/app picks on the recent Linux Unplugged podcast. I'm checking out profile-sync-daemon. Also on the list - video trimmer, firefox-adwaita-theme and also considering moving ~/bin to ~/.local/bin

Major performance improvements coming to the #PinePhone thanks to work by Ondrej Jirman (megi).
Video shows UI performance of
@kde on
@postmarketOS, but the fix will benefit all OSes.
Firefox config to load tabs in background (CTRL+click or from external applications).
In about:config, set
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true
Prefer this to the default, especially when opening links from my RSS reader (QuiteRSS)
Goodtime — beautiful, minimal pomodoro timer for Android. Been using it for a week and like it very much.

Teleprompter software for Linux and other platforms. Useful and the only one I found for this purpose. Used it for recording audio for my recent tutorials

Delta chat has videochat now. This is excellent. I like how they did it too. It just pulls up a webrtc videochat URL that you can choose and makes a random room name. On android I entered meet.jit.si and it pulls up the jitsi app when I start a chat.

https://github.com/posativ/isso is pretty good self-hosted commenting system.
Loving it for my blog!
Used Aegisub for the first time. It is a GUI for creating subtitles:

Once created, subtitles can be embedded in videos, using VLC , if necessary. TJ Free has some tutorials on YouTube:

Welcome to a long overdue episode 37! In this episode I share the personal story about my fight with Legionnaire's Disease. Plus, System76 Engineer Jeremy Soller is working on something groundbreaking, and AMD Ryzen fans are going to love it!
I also shine a spotlight on Star Labs -- they're doing something EVERY Linux PC company should be doing.
And finally, I close the show by telling you which distro I really miss...

Converting Markdown to HTML Using Custom CSS and Template With Pandoc
https://vimaltech.com/pandoc-markdown-to-html/
I used MVP.css (classless) recently. https://andybrewer.github.io/mvp/
The HTML output looked really nice.This is also the first time, I've used a template with Pandoc, so wrote about it in the blog post.
