From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does anyone else miss Marcan42's Mastodon page? (lemmy.world)

Hector Martin (Marcan42) was the lead developer of Asahi Linux, until he recently resigned. He had a Mastodon page where he would talk about AL development and hardware stuff, as well as frustrations dealing with kernel maintainers to upstream things like Rust stuff (long before the beef that went down this month).

Marcan has made it clear he needs a break, but I really wish he at least kept his Mastodon page up, perhaps in read-only. I'll admit, I liked his posts so much I looked at it daily. I had a bookmark keyword in Firefox: I'd type tr in the URL bar to go to https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan.

It was saved by internet archive and I guess by other archival projects, this is the last snapshot from 2025-02-06: https://web.archive.org/web/20250206022420/https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan

As I can see you can't scroll back more than a month, but you can just select different snapshot dates: https://web.archive.org/web/20250000000000*/https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan

Clicking on "posts and replies" doesn't work, so only his posts are visible.

Or do we have a better way to see archives from the fediverse?

I do not miss people that rant instead of trying to solve a given issue
