YouTube ChrisElison 500 subscribers
TY for 500 subs on YouTube, what a milestone, never thought I'd get there. This number will almost certainly go back down into the 490s as it often does, but this was a nice surprise on a sunny Friday evening!
Nice tool to find your preferred coding font, I got Source Code Pro:

Ubuntu Linux screenshot with tmux Alacritty terminal running vim, cmatrix and cliamp
Been learning how to use tmux on my Linux virtual machine, it's pretty cool! I also need to learn how to use vim! Cliamp is really nice for listening to mp3s in the terminal (but I don't have any :D). Code on left is X-Chat source code, btw (wondering if I can build it?)...

I'm still not used to seeing my IP address as IPv6 ever since I got Brsk fibre Internet :) Not sure why it says 4G and Kingswinford is definitely not my location! Website: internet.yaosamo.com
Slimbook mini PC
Thinking about getting something like this, a fanless mini PC I can install Linux on, although the 32GB RAM option is the same price as the unit itself!

CRUMB breadboard electronics circuit simulator
Found this electronics breadboard circuit simulator on Steam, it's called 'CRUMB', going to record a video of it for the channels I think, it looks very interesting!
Just installed an IRC client for the first time in 20 years, first server I connect to I get Z:lined (EuropaNet) automatically and with no specific reason, might be because I'm running in a Linux VM or something?
Ubuntu Linux running on VirtualBox
Checking out Ubuntu Linux in VirtualBox! Last time I touched Linux was coincidentally Ubuntu on a uni PC at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2006. I'm going to try and relearn everything then maybe install another distro!
Anyone remember SASS (Syntactically Awesome StyleSheets)? Is it still used or has it been made redundant by modern CSS?

Saw this on Threads, apparently a guy from Japan built this 128B magnetic core memory USB drive! I'd love to build something like this...
Beautifully shot and edited videos on this YouTube channel I stumbled across purely by accident. Would love to make videos like this... #YouTube

All my addons, well a lot of them, are broken in the new WoW patch, thinking about taking a break from WoW for a while after I've completed TBC questing and maybe play Minecraft or something...
