Here’s something of a love letter to Linux in general, @purism in specific, and a handful of great programs as well: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/hello-again-linux. Thanks for publishing it, @linuxjournal!

These are hardware kill switches.
Not a webcam cover. Not software disabled Wi-Fi. Kill switch.
Laptops should have these.
Ours do.

Sensor calibration settings can be used by apps/sites to fingerprint iOS and Android phones.
We added a "Lockdown Mode" for the Librem 5 which allows you to defend against this.

In addition to spending time with the children this weekend, I've had a little time to get back to my #story, to "Shadows of the Upper Peninsula".
I am still learning all the tools #Linux provides a writer. I am using #Manuskript to organize and write the story. I've found that it is best exporting to a #LibreOffice, and use LIbre Office to export and share it to #html or #pdf. I find that Open Office does a better job writing to those formats.
Just finished a game of Betrayal at Baldur's gate with 4 of my children. I ended up being the haunt, and my children defeated me pretty handily. A ton of fun. #boardgames

Large groups of these flowers are typically found in shaded woods.
Wild Hyacinth - Fuath-mhuc - Hyacinthoides non-scripta
The profusion of plants growing together, and the vivid colour leads to appealing carpets of blue on the forest floor.

What is it like to lose a 16th-level #dnd character, that you have been playing for years? I *almost* found out. Evidently a #cleric (even a war cleric) should not go toe-to-toe with a #balor.
Two failed death saves, and if I had rolled wrong on the last death save, I would have been gone.
Party members saved me at the last moment, when I had been quickly putting together my final words. But my cleric, barely, survived. And he gets to go on to the next adventure.

#PepperAndCarrot is a cute #webcomic that my oldest daughter discovered. It is pretty cool.
We discovered this from the #Purism page about how they give back. - https://puri.sm/posts/how-purism-works-upstream-and-gives-back/
It is listed under "Our Contributions".

You know you need to use HTTPS to get the little green lock, but you can’t be expected to review the network security of every WiFi access point you use. #libremtunnel
