I'm hosting an #opensource practical #Linux tutorial tomorrow night (6pm Mon 15th Nov) in #BonAccord, #Glasgow if anybody is interested.

It covers command line basics (for beginners and hackers, we use OverTheWirew.org war games to get stated) as well as a basic guide to getting your own webserver set up.

"By satisfying the mob today, we are sacrificing our future. That’s the real risk."

I think this is pretty important.

I'm hosting "Learn #Linux command line for complete beginners" this Tuesday (20th September) from 6:30pm in #TheAvalon on Kent Road.

We'll be playing a game called Bandit from overthewire.org - Level 0 is how to connect to a server using PuTTY/ssh, then for level 1 the password is in a readme file, level 2 the password is in a hidden file and so on. Teaching new concepts along the way. It's a lot of fun - if you're into that sort of thing.

My #MUD is now public (telnet mcpubs.com, port 2860) or visit on the web at:
https://coding.openguide.co.uk:2860/

It's not much of a game at the moment, but I'm interested in using it as a base for a #VR world - and to experiment with community world building.

Take a look and re-live the 80s with me! 😂
