 Ahahaha, I don’t like my job and I don’t think I’m going to go anymore…

 Gents! I’ve been running NixOS as a server for a year now, really keen to get started with flakes in NixOS, but struggling to get started - any pointers? NixOS on the media PC has been amazing! Meshtasic devices rocked up on Friday, but I didn’t make it to the post office in time, have to wait until Monday now! *sigh*

 Boosting to help Jeff get live on the show. Keen to hear what he’s learnt about Meshtastic. Will be setting up my own little network soon. Also, plus 1 for you all getting ham radio happening. I’ve been a ham for 15 years and love it. There’s some great little software projects like aprsc and AllStar Linux (asl3). Talk about truly independent, no intermediate infrastructure to communicate across the globe! Something like WinLink allows you to use HF radio to send emails thousands of miles. Keen to hear more about your plans! Cheers, Retro Gear.

 Lads, I just made the switch to NixOS GNOME for the media PC from Windows. Changed/added about three lines in the config and bam! working. Spousal approval 10/10 too, which of course is all that matters. Pretty happy with the performance on the old AMD Phenom II X6 - boots up fast and seems to handle all media types at 4K. The 5.1 surround sound analogue output and Bluetooth for the mouse even worked out of the box! Thumbs up on the map work last week, Bakers Hill, Western Australia was correct for 6562. Think I have the username set correct now in fountain? Jupiter Broadcasting shows are revitalising my interest in Linux and self hosting, thanks team really appreciate it. Cheers, Retro Gear.

 To clarify, LOAF = Freesco. All this talk about low power’s got me thinking I need a new server. The Dell T630 with dual E5-2650v4 is a little hungry! Maybe a Ryzen box - thoughts?

 Hey you mob. I know I’m a few weeks late, but my first Linux was LOAF. Running on a Pentium 90 with a dialup modem as my firewall/gateway! Challenge you to setup LOAF now - put that USB floppy drive to use. Not in IT myself, career went another way, but still love playing with Linux. BTW, thanks for getting me hooked on NixOS! Love the show. Cheers from Aus - PS post code may not be on map (here be dragons!)

 Long time listener, first time booster. Really enjoy the show. Have a couple of servers setup at home running Proxmox, NixOS, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, Immich and so much more! I’m running Tailscale thanks to you guys. My off site backup uses a Synology box at my folks place 400km away, all via TS. PS this is a post code boost, Australia. Maybe a Western Australia meetup!? Cheers.
