Look, I'm just gonna say this and add my voice to the others who are saying the same basic things.

I don't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut that Microsoft decided that your Windows 10 laptop shouldn't work anymore. If you can't use it, do not throw it away. Find a Linux nerd. We're out there. There are lots of us. Find one of us and give us the computer. We'll use it. We'll put it to work. We'll make it work for someone else.

Do not throw it away, because goddess above what a waste.

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.

Our last workshop for the morning is "From Disk to Digital: Techniques for Imaging and Analysing Floppy Disks" by Leontien Talboom at #nttw9

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!

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.
