Holsworthy Coderdojo

Posted on 2018-06-07 by Paul Sutton

Anyone who has been following the list recently will be aware of Tom, from Holsworthy who has been setting up a Coderdojo in Holsworthy.

Today, it was announced,  this is now all set up.  Please go here for more information.   I have added the details to the other events page.

We wish Tom best of luck with this venture and hope that it grows and does well,  which I am sure it will.

F2FS and Kernel 4.16 file system improvements

Posted on 2018-01-31 by Paul Sutton

F2FS Sees An Assortment Of File-System Improvements With Linux 4.16

This was posted to Diaspora earlier.   Anything that improves the filesystem is welcome, it does however look like the improvements are mainly for flash based devices such as SSDs.

http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/108636

Recent discussion on IRC suggests that F2FS also works on the Pi,  but is early days yet,.

Any file system hackers out there.

Fallout 4 and Manjaro Linux

 Fallout 4 and Manjaro Linux

Latest video from Bob’s Distros on Youtube,  Fallout 4 on Manjaro Linux.  Not played this but I know it is very popular and gaming is a big barrier to the take up of desktop Linux.
