The Best of Hack and /: Linux Admin Crash Course is published!
This book doesn't aim to be an exhaustive guide to everything you need to know to be a system administrator. Instead, this book allows me to act as a remote mentor to someone starting out in IT or system administration whether as a full-time job or as a full stack developer.
It's available in premium hardcover, paperback, and ebook forms here:

Due to all of the news around our Lapdock Kit, I was recently reminded of this Linux Journal article I wrote almost ten years ago (wow...) about my desire for what we now call convergence--using your phone as your main general-purpose personal computer.
Back then the best I could find was docking a Droid 4 on an Atrix lapdock, and running local Linux apps in a chroot over VNC.
How far we've come!
I met someone else on campus who has a #librem5

@dallin@fosstodon.org @healthiswealth lynx is pretty cool, both for the web and gopher holes. I’ve also used amfora (Gemini client) with the http proxy set to stargate.gemi.dev:1994. That works as a pretty good text-based web browser too 😀
