New blogpost: "Using (only) a Linux terminal for my personal computing in 2024"
A write-up of my recent experiment of using only a Linux terminal for my personal computing.
tl;dr:
I had fun, and learned loads, so a success.
I could do a lot of what I wanted, quite comfortably and easily, I couldn't do enough.
I'll carry out using the terminal (as I have for years), but not exclusively.

🚀 After 18 years on Ubuntu, we've upgraded the @openstreetmap servers to Debian 12 (Bookworm). 🌍 https://www.openstreetmap.org/ is now faster using Ruby 3.1. Onward to new mapping adventures! Thank you to the team for the smooth transition. #OpenStreetMap #Debian 🤓
And thank you for all your amazing, thoughtful feedback to my article from yesterday where I compared Big Tech to Big Food and described the Fediverse as a healthy home cooked meal.
I will reply to all your comments later, as soon as my little one is back in nursery school 😅

"12 Don’t buy the bullshit. A Securities and Exchange judgment found Facebook had lied to two journalists – one of them was me – and Facebook agreed to pay a $100m penalty. If you are a journalist, refuse off the record briefings. Don’t chat on the phone; email. Refuse access interviews. Bullshit exclusives from Goebbels 2.0 will be a stain on your publication for ever."
