I went to VCF Midwest 18! It was a ton of fun, I finally got to meet a ton of great friends in real life, and I saw some of my favorite computers up close and personal.

I don't think these creators have Peertube accounts to link to (if they do I'll add where I find them). So, here's a bunch of YouTube tags and locations mentioned throughout (special thanks to these folks for being awesome!):

• @Mac84 : vintage Mac videos and streams
• @ActionRetro : totally normal computer shenanigans
• https://adwaterandstir.com/: Altair clone kits!
• @CanadianRetroThings : might have convinced me to buy a CoCo 3
• https://www.superphonerecordings.com/: best band website I've ever seen
• @TaylorAmyShow : don't panic and go subscribe to them
• @TiltFive : the good kind of AR that brings you and your friends together
• @jeriellsworth : legend
• @sloopymalibu : vintage repairs and commentary and fun
• @adriansdigitalbasement : noted repair enthusiast and lab tech cosplayer
• @RetroTechChris : retro know-how and friend to all
• @NybblesandBytes : did not get a chance to interview her, but her channel is awesome!

You asked for it, you got it. Here's what I think of Red Hat.

Sorry this video took a bit longer than I'd like, since I'm working on finishing my basement (future recording space) at the moment.

Anyway, I'm not planning on dwelling much on Red Hat beyond this- my plan is to move forward with community-driven distros in mind, and recommend those to customers in the months and years ahead. I hope Red Hat gets to a good place again. We'll see.

Supporters make this possible. Seriously, nobody's sponsoring this video except you!

The "cd" command, "change directory", is a critical part of navigating in a Linux or UNIX based system.

In today's Lil' Linux Lesson, we'll dive into the cd command, some intermediate usage bits, and then speculate about some POSIX reasons why certain choices were made. We'll span the gamut from beginner to advanced in one video. I hope you enjoy!

YES. You should still learn the terminal!

Whether you're just a casual Linux user or planning a career in tech, learning the terminal is a great way to improve efficiency, gain insight into your software and hardware, and focus less on the tools themselves.

In this video, I casually explain why I think the terminal is still worth learning. Unlike most of my videos, this one was very free-wheeling- enjoy!
