Now that I have my first company computer since before COVID, my use of Linux and BSD will be more extracurricular.

On Friday I kept the personal laptop running OpenBSD all day because it's better behaved when it comes to reliably suspending and resuming.

Again, if you haven't run OpenBSD on the desktop in years, things have come a very long way.

On the Windows 11 work laptop, I was ready for a fight with IT over installing Vim. They already didn't want to "let" me run LibreOffice because we are supposed to use Google Apps for everything officey.

I avoided the conflict by trying to install Vim to my user directory. I vaguely remembered doing that years ago, and surprisingly it worked.

I did the same with IrfanView. Also successful.

Curiously, SSH works out of the Windows Terminal.

I'd like an FTP client. I didn't know if that's "allowed." I will be looking into PSCP.

@vwbusguy I haven't looked at Nextcloud in a long time. I'm looking at what is involved. I already use Syncthing for file sync, but that doesn't have a web interface. This could be a fun thing to play with on the Raspberry Pi 4B

@vwbusguy I can't find recommended specs for . I did see something about SD cards not being recommended for storage, which I totally understand. My current Pi server uses a USB flash drive for storage, but I'm not against using a regular USB drive (spinning or SSD).

@viktor @vwbusguy Thanks for these links

@vwbusguy It's so easy to set the RPi 4B to boot from USB. My brief experience with FreeBSD booting from USB wasn't great, but I don't think USB had anything to do with it. I need to set up a Raspberry Pi OS system on USB and give that a go.

I would like to try TinaCMS, but I need to "commit" to running a Hugo site that uses Git and CI/CD. Not saying I won't do it, but it is not how I'm doing it now.

This is a very long article that doesn't make a lot of sense. If the tickets are selling later rather than sooner, what's the difference? You are still booking the revenue.

If selling early is that important, give a discount for early purchases. Create an incentive. Otherwise, don't complain.

Experts say audiences are buying tickets closer to events, causing 'lack of certainty' in industry - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-19/ticket-sales-australia-arts-music-theatre-industry/103820858
