I am liking the bluesky people I've started following and chatting with. It 's not toxic, it's nice. Like the old days before social media was all about likes, algorithms, attention, & advertising.30 Apr 2026 09:06 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkpb5rsuvs2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mkn6fm4ths2rOnly last year I set foot into the world of Linux with Ubuntu, and now, I get it and use Fedora as my main work laptop.sleep lees nights now go by, where I am thinking I need to install Arch.

Maybe because I like slower paced things. But this has been my jam thus far. I've put a day into this game.25 Apr 2026 13:49 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkd6na5zos2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mjqnqakmec2cI like to draw, and my latest project of making a Rasberry Pi robot kit meant I had to draw it to understand it.18 Apr 2026 04:58 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjqnqakmec2chttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mjjhixzdrk2aLooking forward to sinking my teeth into this book.15 Apr 2026 08:18 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjjhixzdrk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mjeqa7vw4c2zMy 2nd draft of a flow chart I drew on the art app 'Procreate' . I am not an engineer or IT person.😅 This is for an AI/robotics project I have happening on the side. A work in progress as I await my robot kit. Hopfully this little road map will help me nut out each step of the process as proceed.13 Apr 2026 11:11 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjeqa7vw4c2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mjdpqhjr4k2jHanging out for my newest project. An AI communication bot to monitor how many coffees I am going to drink. Never done anything like this before, so see how it goes. Wait a month for it to come in the mail.13 Apr 2026 01:30 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjdpqhjr4k2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mj5gxk4wtk2vHad a senate hearing today, that was different. Then I was asked to help out with a local youth group that want to play retro games for a youth event. I suggested a Linux console 😅. Now I am just living my childhood favourite games. Ecco the Dolphin & Mike Tyson boxing.Two very different games.10 Apr 2026 13:37 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj5gxk4wtk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mj2vinrpf22oTonight I was doing research on a robot arm that I can connect with AI. This might be a future ongoing blog post 🤔 . . . What a time we live in that a noob, such as myself is able to play around with Robots. Haha I have always wanted to make a small little robot like this.

I still can't get into a blog writing habit yet as I have to got to meeting a tomorrow. Surprisingly bad at keeping a dairy. I wonder how much discussion will be had about fuel.09 Apr 2026 10:38 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj2mj5uv5c25https://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mj2j7s22h22qWalks and scenic stuff.09 Apr 2026 09:39 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj2j7s22h22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mixwiqou4s2ePhoto of a sunset on my walk. Thought there was to much Linux computer stuff being shared. Wanted to prove to my bluesky followers I do touch grass.08 Apr 2026 08:59 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mixwiqou4s2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3miv7mj377k2g🤤 okay... mint looks so juicy on an old 2014 Mac air... now to see if I can connect wifi which has been the challenge with this computer.07 Apr 2026 07:04 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3miv7mj377k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3miv753tda22zI've gone distro hopping mad!!! absolutely crazy! 🤪07 Apr 2026 06:55 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3miv753tda22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3miv6f4d7fk2zFor my own curiosity, gonna upload mint of my old IMac (2014). Have issues with Fedora and wifi (and kinda buggy with Ubuntu), but hoping that LM has sorted out the issues. Anyway, just doing this one for the distilling fun. Plus, it's been years since I've seen Ming and hope the icons look new07 Apr 2026 06:42 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3miv6f4d7fk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mit5in7koc2yAlso, one last thing, now that I am exploring parts of the tech world I never thought about, I need to look more into GitHub. I am very new to it, & honestly, only became aware because of Linux. Linux has open up my eyes!06 Apr 2026 11:21 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mit5in7koc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mit5bfovjk2yNow that I've had a taste of the Linux world, and I feel Fedora will be with me for a while as I fully transition out of windows... I am looking at buying a laptop to play around with this 😱... this distro hopping is addictive 😅06 Apr 2026 11:17 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mit5bfovjk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mit4ybnzfc2yThinking for the next blogs I want to keep it simple & just focus on a 'dimple' 3 parter on Linux, what is it, & Ubuntu & Fedora. I'd love to detail my experience but I feel newcomers to Linux would appreciate a simplified explanation of what it is instead. later on I'll spill my personal story.06 Apr 2026 11:12 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mit4ybnzfc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mit4jfnb5k2yFor my blog, I am not going to be able to get a blog out this week. 😞 Too much fun with Linux I've enjoyed, & plus, I still got council & work commitments. I am still trying to find my feet in this whole blogging thing & I didn't really intend to focus on Tech, but I've welcomed it.06 Apr 2026 11:03 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mit4jfnb5k2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3miqtutzusc2aI've honestly had a great weekend, playing around with Linux and then customizing it ( I view it like art customing how an OS looks). I came in this relatively fresh, but honestly, I am starting to think I should be able to make the move to using a Linux based system for future projects.05 Apr 2026 13:23 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3miqtutzusc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/strandedislander.bsky.social/post/3mipuuugink2sAlright. Trying to write something about Linux this week for my Blog.05 Apr 2026 04:08 +0000at://did:plc:6omkc3bjyc4duvic5xt46b6f/app.bsky.feed.post/3mipuuugink2s
