Steve Lord (stevelord@bladerunner.social)'s status on Thursday, 08-Aug-2024 09:04:20 JST Steve Lord For 5 years the local school has been struggling with chromebooks when they have a bunch of unused 2014 era windows 7 workstations in an attic. I'm switching these over to lubuntu to act as class workstations and expect them to be more popular than the chromebooks because they're actually usable.

You might be able to get away with running something lighter like https://codemadness.org/stagit.html and a git server on port 9418 for serving repos via git:// (if you have an existing box lying around)

Steve Lord (stevelord@bladerunner.social)'s status on Monday, 04-Mar-2024 21:52:51 JST Steve Lord I'm looking for a reliable artist I can work with on an ongoing basis. It's regular work in the cybersecurity training space, we're looking for predominantly cyberpunk style art somewhere between Blade Runner and Westworld to use online and in print.
If this is your jam, and you have the time and space to take on some regular work, please drop a portfolio link in response. #ArtistWanted #NoAi
