*Fun fact*: I'm re-learning German. I still remember a good number of words from when I learned it at school. I still remember grammar / conjugations. I'm practising an hour or two - or three - speaking it daily while reading it too. I'm also watching nothing but NTV between now and December 25th, to immerse myself. It's on constantly, while I work (Minifree orders, Libreboot, whatever). Today, thieves stole Napoleon's jewels from the louvre. I heard it in German and understood it perfectly.

reddit is proprietary garbage, and full of spam. i've shut down r/libreboot on reddit. nothing but endless silly there. irc is all you need. we have an irc chat. the best thing about the irc chat is it's much easier to moderate, and the inherently daunting nature of merely using irc, for the normies, means that the person coming there must really need/want to be there, and isn't going there to post things so frivolously. that and our mailing list. we have that too. no more reddit. good day.

Remember when I published a giant, comically long article about how to configure Nginx Web Server on Debian Linux, complete with Certbot/LetsEncrypt HTTPS and... stuff?

Fedfree – NGINX web server on Arch Linux with LetsEncrypt HTTPS and Certbot

Now I have an *even longer* one, for Arch Linux. This one also has *HTTP/3*. And this is being done as a pre-requisite for an Nginx Reverse Proxy guide I'm working on for a self-hosted Invidious guide. Also on Arch Linux. Invidious is insane if not using docker. I built that stuff from the source code.

I feel like randomly promoting a really amazing Free Software project:

Invidious is an open source alternative front-end to YouTube.

Yes. Invidious is a self-hosted YouTube frontend. It provides a web interface for you to search/watch YouTube videos. You can run it yourself, or use a public instance. I installed *my own* private instance, on my network. It's working great. Your browser won't run all the YouTube bloat. Invidious still has to run Youtube's challenge. Really, really great project. Way better than YouTube Premium.

I'm starting a massive project in Libreboot, whose goal is literally to add every single Chromebook ever manufactured, to Libreboot. This includes more ARM models, but also the x86 models. I'm systematically analysing and adapting various ports from MrChromebox, for Libreboot. I'm purchasing a bunch of them myself, but: If you have a Chromebook, that you don't need anymore, I'd be happy if you could donate it to the Libreboot project. Send me an email to info@minifree.org Gotta port 'em all.
