International Pronouns Day happens each year on the third Wednesday of October. International Pronouns Day raises awareness of respecting, sharing, and educating about pronouns.

You can find our pronoun resource here: http://transactual.org.uk/pronouns/ We created it to go in email signatures to explain why people choose to share their pronouns in emails.

Because there may be a few #vintage computer nerds here 😄, here's a story of how #BBC #Wales handled the decision, for the 40th anniversary of #Eastenders earlier this year, to show the BBC1 globe ident as broadcast in 1985.

Instead of simply using a recording of the ident (which was only on screen for a few seconds) as other regions did, they instead managed to dust off & use the original signal generation hardware that had been sitting in a basement corner!

Windows 10 is dead, long live Linux

udp2raw is a free software that set up a tunnel that converts UDP traffic into encrypted UDP, FakeTCP, or ICMP traffic using raw sockets, allowing you to bypass UDP firewalls or work around unstable UDP environments. This is useful when your ISP block WireGuard or OpenVPN or any other such tunnels using the DPI. This tool is useful for IT professionals and Linux/Unix sysadmins.

Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too

It's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks away
