From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany. (www.reddit.com)

Hey- sorry to revive a very old conversation, but this evening I was updating my pihole server and noticed there weren't any changes/additions to Quidsup's notrack block list- so I started looking around and realized I hadn't seen a video from him in years either.

Do you know what became of him? I used to really enjoy his stuff and it's like he just left the internet.

Huh, you're right, he has been absent. He still seems to be updating notrack over on his gitlab, so I have to assume he just got bored with videos, or some other aspect of his life took priority. I don't have a twitter account, so I can't see if he's posted there, but hopefully he's in good spirits and health.
