Links

Here are some links to various bits and bobs. You can find my links or browse further to find other interesting sites I like to read/watch.

My Links

• Codeberg: My git repository, find my dotfiles among other things.

• Hardware: Follow this link to read about the hardware I use.

• Software: Here you can read about the software that I like using.

Individual/Smaller Sites

• Luke Smith: I first became aware of Luke Smith via YouTube and his videos on free and open source software, this is a link to his website, where he also talks about philosophy and religion and sells out of print books.

• LandChad.net: Luke Smith’s online resource for setting up your very own web server. Additional articles are available (some written by the community) about hosting other services.

• Based Cooking: Yet another website hosted by Luke Smith. A simple website where many different people have contributed recipes to combat bloated cooking sites that take an age to load.

• Eric Murphy: This is the personal website of Eric Murphy, again I came across him originally on YouTube. His videos have been a massive help in setting up my own desktop environment.

• OMG!Ubuntu: A website focused on Ubuntu. I don’t use Ubuntu, but sometimes there is some good info on various updates. I typically go there just to see who Guy Clark is currently in a fight with in the comments section! Usually PP, but PP blocked me.

• Phoronix: Another website about Linux and open source software - a good mix of both software and hardware related news.

• Privacy Guides: Features a list of applications you can use to try and claw back some privacy.

• Privacy Tools: Another site providing information about staying private online. Some links are affiliated though.

• Shimo Guitars: Website of Takahiro Shimo, a creative luthier based out of Japan. He mainly builds guitars and ukuleles as well as a few other types of stringed instrument thrown in for good measure, all of which are insanely beautiful!

• New Orleans Jambook: A wonderful resource for jazz sheet music.

YouTube

• Invidious: is an alternative front end to YouTube focused on privacy, that actually makes watching videos pleasant! Instead of a chore, especially on older devices.

• The Linux Cast: A good mix of content based around Linux and free/open source software. News, reviews, tips and a podcast.

• The Linux Experiment: Another selection of content about Linux, a little bit more noob friendly. But, boy this guy loves his sponsors.

• DistroTube: Yet another channel talking about open source software and GNU/Linux.

• Eric Murphy: Videos focusing more on how to get things done with certain light weight an minimal applications, also about Linux.

• Luke Smith: Thus guy also has Linux and open source videos, but more often than not will talk about a broad range of topics too.

• Mental Outlaw: Another channel advocating free and open source software, tends to focus a little more on news these days.

• Kent’s Tech World: Kent is that one Linux YouTuber (okay, I’m sure there are others) that also uses proprietary software. It’s refreshing to get a different point of view.

• EF - Linux Made Simple: A great resource if you are attempting to install Arch for the first time. Useful to figure out which packages you may need if you are installing a stand alone window manager for the first time

• Iwao’s Music Channel: Iwao Yamaguchi is a Japanese artist, he has some amazing videos playing both guitar and ukulele.

• Helmut Bickel: A music teacher, I believe from Austria, uploads basically everyday. I enjoy the videos when he plays he guitar or ukulele on a holiday - the scenery is stunning.

• Bullseye Playlist: Well you can’t beat a bit o’ Bully can you!? A playlist with over 100 episodes of Bullseye!
