Busily spending part of my weekend enjoying one aspect of my job at the Archive - sorting through uploads of a certain type - in this case, anything calling itself a "Manual".

In preparing for my #RaspberryPi lesson to the elementary school STLP students this week, I basically recreated the classic game "Operation". I found examples of how to do it with Scratch, but since this is a Raspberry Pi 3B+, the new desktop version of Scratch with the necessary modules won't run on it, so I engineered my own take on it with #Python.

Anyway, it is apparently a hit with my kids; my autistic son just ran in here wanting to play with it.

Ubuntu 24.04 Comes to the Nintendo Switch (Unofficially, Obvs)

There are plenty of fun things you can do on a Nintendo Switch: you can throw your hat at sentient creatures in Super Mario Odyssey; plaster people in colourful ink in Splatoon 2; and lose all grip on reality thanks to an ill-timed blue shell in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Switchroot is an open-source project that allows Android and Linux-based distros like Ubuntu to run on the Nintendo Switch —absolutely not something Nintendo approves of let alone supports, endorses, or encourages. I covered the loophole that permitted this back in 2018. Back then

Perusing Synaptic and turns out that #Signal is literally the biggest single package on my whole system. It's actually bigger than the 6.1 #Linux kernel package. Running du -hs on /opt/Signal confirms this.
