If you are one of the several hundred learners enrolled in the Linux for Beginners private course run by this Telegram channel, your invitations for tomorrow's Weekend Linux Workshop (to be held Sat. Sept. 10th @ 5:00pm ET) are being sent out to your email right now! (If you can't be there live, the wekeend workshops are always recorded so you can watch them later on the LMS!)
This week, we explore how to make and keep secure system backups in Linux. Set and forget! Every bit as easy as the backups you used to make on Windows or MacOS. Except now, your backups won’t end up in China!
And we answer one of the most common questions we were asked last year: What exactly is Open Source software, and how is it safer than closed source?
In Unix-like systems, unlike Windows, nothing is hidden. You can know every single thing happening, and take back full control of your computer from 'big tech', once and for all!
If you can't make it to this weekend's live workshop, don't worry, it will be recorded (as always) and posted in our LMS system, for you to view with your login and password, at any time, 24/7.

Starting in 1982, a new form of digital storage emerged, co-developed by Sony Corp. and Philips. It was called the Compact disc and could store a mind-blowing amount of data for back then, 650 MB.
When CD’s were first introduced, hard drives on home computers were expensive and could only store about 10 MB.
Compact discs revolutionized ROM and rewritable storage throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. Raise your hand if you ever burned data or music on to a CD disc!! 🥳

Heavenly Father, Your eternal unconditional love, grace and wisdom staggers me to the core of my being, the more I study and learn about our Savior, Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Father, I choose to love as He loved and ask that in Your strength, You would work in me to will and do Your good purpose in the lives of all who read or hear or see this prayer. Amen.

Exactly one year ago, the Jeff.pro Telegram channel officially launched on the premise that it was important for “We the People” to start unplugging from big tech in a important way that was not being widely discussed — at the Operating System level, where the most crucial software that runs everything on our computers resides.
For most Americans (and people internationally, for that matter), this means they are running the Bill Gates designed, Microsoft Windows O.S. software at the core of their laptops, their computers.
The Operating System software can see and keep a record of every single thing we do on our computer. Forget about “Antivirus” software and so forth…your O.S. can see and make a record of absolutley everything: all of your files, your passwords, keys pressed, screenshots, everything you view, websites you visit, etc.
Some might say “it doesn’t matter.” We are of the mindset that our privacy, security and sovereignty over our own personal information and data is sacred and getting more valuable all the time. When we started, many were not even aware that their Microsoft Windows Operating System was leaking their personal data all over the internet—but it is, and Windows 11 is the worst offender yet.
Jeff is a life-long technologist as are the admins of this channel. As much as we love technology, we do not blindly endorse it. We are family oriented Christian Americans who believe technology should be used for practical purposes to make our real lives better, to work for the people, not against the people.
We are not fans of the “metaverse,” “digital I.D’s”, and especially not “big tech.”
And so we set out on a journey to educate our fellow Americans about a better way to do computing — with the robust Free and Open Source software (FOSS) libraries that have been evolving for the past thirty years, and the Linux computer Operating System, a complete replacement for Microsoft Windows on your computer.
About a year after we started teaching our fellow Americans about Linux, we ran a poll to ask everyone what they thought about it…a simple question. Now that you have some experience using Linux, what do you think? Is it the real deal or not? Many of you already saw the results of this poll, but we will re-post it today.

Friends, as the Jeff.pro channel approaches its one-year anniversary of launching simple educational programs about how to navigate our computers/personal data away from 'big tech' for the future, please let us know what you think...did we convince you?
Anonymous Poll

YES - Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and Linux are the real deal for Digital Freedom
1%
NO - I still trust Microsoft Windows privacy because Bill Gates is no longer the CEO of Microsoft

In the month of July 2022 the Jeff.pro channel reached an important milestone for us as more than 1,000 learners total had enrolled in our Linux for Beginners weekly course throughout the year.
Maybe not a huge number by ‘big tech’ standards but for freedom minded citizens it is significant, it is the start of something—importantly those people will have good experiences and spread the word about non-big-tech alternatives to friends and family.
On average, it seems to take people two to three months (close to what we originally anticipated) to learn the basics of Linux, get rid of Microsoft Windows and switch their laptop over to Free and Open Source Software, to be rid of ‘big tech’ influence over their computers once and for all.
There were very few complaints in our first year of teaching people how to do this. Our class groups were full up to the number of licensed seats we had available, all year. There are a handful of people left over who are bent out of shape because we kicked them out of our chat room for one reason or another. In all there are a ton more people who feel they learned something useful, than not. Truly.
This is our way forward with technology built by “we the people,” not big corporations.

Our MVP for the first year of the Jeff.pro channel on Telegram was our channel admin Vasileios Kontodimas.
Vasileios is an amazing, talented computer whiz with more than twenty five years experience on the Linux Operating System.
Throughout the year, he answered literally thousands of tech support messages and tickets, while helping to educate everyone on our weekend classes. Vasileios is truly a gentleman, a scholar, and a Patriot!

We called it: Shortly after the Jeff.pro channel launched, on October 3, 2021 Jeffrey Peterson said Mark Zuckerberg and ‘meta/Facebook’ would experience their worst year of operations since launching twelve years prior. (link: https://t.me/jeffrey_peterson/2146)
The next day, October 4, 2021 at 15:39 UTC Facebook experienced its worst tech outage in history and the stock plunged. At the time it was the biggest drop in Facebook stock on record. (link: https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/04/facebook-stock-falls-as-global-outage-continues/)
The October 4 drop in Facebook share price was exceeded only by its 26% drop on Friday Sep. 9th, 2022, when news agencies reported Mark Zuckerberg had been seen “crying” on a company conference call, (attributing it to a ‘scratched eye’), at the close of business before the one-year anniversary of this channel.

A big thanks to the Jeff.pro channel admins: Caleb, Dale Gribble, little hummer, Vasileios Kontodimas, Shane, Patriots Quest, Slamminbones, Cnturion, Josh and Peter for keeping spammers out of our Technology chat room all year. You guys did a phenomenal job, allowing everyone to work through many tech questions free from interference.
