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. Oct. 15th @ 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, for our more experienced subscribers, we take a close-up look at The Linux File System vs. Windows Files. Whatโ€™s the difference using a .pdf file on Linux vs. Windows? What makes the best designed filesystem in the history of technology so much better and more secure? What about other kinds of files, such as pictures, important documents, and saved archives?

Everything you need to know about moving your files to Linux, your new home away from โ€˜big techโ€™ software on your computer.

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.

Questions? Need help? email: support@jeff.pro

This is what 5 megabytes of computer data looked like in the 1960โ€™s.

62,500 punch cards โ€ฆ would take a few days to load and process.

Today, even your digital watch, or your portable music player can store much more data than this.

The iPod nano was released in mid-2005. It fit in the palm of your hand and could store 2GB or 4GB of storage, many hundreds of times more data than the pile of punched cards you see above โ˜๏ธโ˜๏ธ

Although Apple products started becoming more like spyware in recent years, back in 2005 the iPod seemed pretty harmless ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Anyone remember going to Blockbuster to rent a VHS tape for the weekend? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Apparently there is still one open. This picture is of the last remaining blockbuster store. It is in Bend, Oregon.

According to the NSA, if you read the Linux Journal, you might be an โ€œextremist.โ€

Itโ€™s been this way for some time now.

Why? Probably because youโ€™re independent minded, probably because you dare to stand up for your digital rights and move your most important data outside of their โ€œMatrix,โ€ Windows, and the Microsoft โ€œNSA keyโ€ (proven to exist).

Computer expert Chris Titus talks about the horrible design of Windows file systems.

It is amazing people have trusted their important documents, pictures and other files to such poorly designed software as Windows, for so many years. Even harder to believe when we start to realize the privacy abuses.

I will be doing a live Audio Stream tonight, Oct. 18th, 2022 @ 8:00pm Eastern time to answer questions about Telegram and todayโ€™s news about the BlueSky Social Protocol.

By now my followers should know I donโ€™t criticize other Patriots as a matter of policy. As an advance notice, I have nothing bad to say about Greg Phillips or anyone else. We at the Jeff.pro channel appreciate the amazing work he and his group have done. Will be sharing some ideas about problems with mobile apps in general and answering questions on tonightโ€™s audio stream.
