@killyourfm dumb question but will you wash clothes and underwear etc in streams and/or the sea? Or will you stop in towns for that sort of thing?

@killyourfm how long do you expect it to take? I just looked it up and it said 4 weeks!

@killyourfm really sorry to hear this, man. I know how much you wanted to go. Maybe use it as an opportunity to go somewhere else though? It's one hell of a country that you live in with some incredible landscapes and areas.

Nothing says new and shiny tech like calling your watch a Core 2 Duo. 👌

@killyourfm I can see it.

@killyourfm @jimsalter this "motorcycle" is more like an electric scooter lol

@killyourfm how do you do that in terms of food and supplies? Multi person situation?

@killyourfm wow! Quite the trip!

@killyourfm how many days would that be?

@killyourfm I think it's much more to do with people making videos for multiple platforms. 4:3 makes more sense as a base when you have to crop it vertically for some platforms and square for others etc.

@killyourfm interesting how many of them are 4:3 aspect ratio. It's really making a comeback!

@killyourfm maybe try this?

@killyourfm what guide are you using?

@killyourfm people aren't going to just throw them away the second security updates stop appearing. They'll use Windows 10 for months or years beyond the deadline in blissful ignorance. Then when their machine "breaks" they'll go and buy a Windows 11 machine.

@ahoneybun @killyourfm yeah this is correct. You need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list (with sudo) and change them all to old-releases.ubuntu.com

I've registered a couple of bluesky accounts just in case but also fuck bluesky quite frankly.

I don't post much these days and it's not really my place to interfere in foreign elections. But...

If you live in the USA, please vote for Harris. It's really quite important. Thanks in advance (or thanks if you already have!)

If you are voting for Trump then please unfollow me, mute me, block me, and never listen to another Late Night Linux Family show again.

Thanks,

@killyourfm @mattdm it's the faux theremin solo that's throwing you off. 😂

In case you didn't know, I occasionally make music. I made all the theme tunes for the Late Night Linux Family podcasts and I also have 2 albums that you can find on Bandcamp. One is guitar/rock type stuff and the other is electronic music. Check them out here:
