  • Had to get a new one recently too. I've had good experiences w/ Brother in the past too, but couldn't find one that quite fit the bill. Needed color and for it to be able to handle cardstock.

    Ended up getting an Epson, one that's in the eco tank line. Has been great so far. Works just fine out of the box on Linux (LTS Ubuntu, anyway)

  • I had similar happen to me. Put all of it together, turned it on, then panicked a little when it wouldn't boot up.

    Turns out one stick of RAM was not fully slotted in, so obviously that's not OK. Was easy to spot once I double checked components. Popped it back out and in, then it was good to go.

  • No. Though I think he said his YouTube channel will be stopping soon as he'll be starting a new project.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised though if he decides to oversee an inevitable Ultimate port/expansion for Switch 2.

  • Not really federated so far, right? They talk a lot about being open, but (when) will they be really? Can I sign up for an account that intereacts with Bluesky through any other provider?

    I mean, I signed up, it seems interesting enough. If nothing else it has some recognizable accounts to follow, better network effect than Mastodon.

  • You didn't rule it out, so my first thought is: play video games! It's certainly on the line between consuming something and learning to do something. Some individual games can be a whole skill to study and hone for years (eg, learning a fighting game or a speedrun, etc etc)

    Spirit of the question though, that would probably be considered content.

    Other ideas, most already covered by other comments: art, photography, music, writing, programming, cooking, woodworking, or learning a new language.

  • Generally I read HackerNews and Lemmy communities like this one. Once in a while interesting projects will get highlighted.

    But for the most part, once I identify a need, I'll look through alternativeto.net and see what the popular open source options are.

  • First step definitely would be to identify specifically what you'd like to improve. To say 'tech skills' is to cast a wide net. If you want to learn all sorts of things that's fine, but to get started with that and identify resources you have to be at least temporarily specific.

    Are you thinking along the lines of system administration? Networking? Programming? Hardware setup/troubleshooting?
