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.

Planets are (or maybe, used to be?) a good way to learn about people involved in projects, e.g.:
I guess you get the gist.
Planets are a periodically updated collection of blogs on a topic that were very popular in the 2000s and early 2010s.
I still follow Planet KDE and Planet Debian, and can vouch for both. They're great for both learning about the development processes of those projects, and finding interesting blogs on unrelated topics that happen to have been written or linked by the contributors.
Thanks

Came to mention them, they have pretty informative guides and I save a lot of articles from their RSS feed for later reference.
Can't hurt to do a little self-promotion ey? I recently started writing https://blog.allpurposem.at/minecraft-qr about FOSS stuff I work on and ways I've managed to survive my gamedev degree on Linux. Aiming for one post per month, though my next one is taking a bit longer.
Awesome blog, thank you! The post you linked about the minecraft in qr code is also super interesting, I cannot wait to read more tomorrow.
Thank you so much :D I had a lot of fun with that one; happy you liked it.
Is this available over rss? I was trying to add it, but wasn't able to find a feed link.
Yep! You can just paste the URL of the blog into your reader (or try https://blog.allpurposem.at/feed/ if that doesn't work).
Thanks, that works.
If you're looking for random posts on Linux terminal and tools then I'll do some self promotion: https://www-gem.codeberg.page
Don't expect for regular posting or any professional advice, it's just my personal experience and thoughts shared with 10 people on the planet :) Maybe 11... I can find a chair for you to join.
Thank you very much, this is precisely the type of blog I've been looking for! I'll be more than happy to take the chair :D
Welcome :) Any feedback is much appreciated. I love sharing with people (that's actually why I have this blog for).
Jim Salters' practicalzfs.com has RSS feeds. Not exactly a blog but good info to be found in the answers.
I love this thread so much, I'm now at 45 feeds on my reader
Here are some feeds of individuals from my list:
And I also started a blog myself recently. I'm just some dude though
That's great, thank you! Your blog looks interesting, and some random dude's blog is often where I find the most interesting articles :)
Hacker News, obviously. Also, lobste.rs is cool (its not only rust stuff)
Thank you very much, these are exactly what I was looking for
I have a shitty little blog that I post on if you wanna check it out. Feel free to put any comments or suggestions.
hows the new router?
Fucked shit up. I installed adguard on it and it crashed every 3 or so days. I realized it didn't have enough ram so I just reverted back to having a dedicated dns server.
One day, one day, someone will create an open source DOCSIS modem+router with enough RAM for other services. Pretty much like Fritzbox, but actually open source instead of whatever they're doing now.
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for :)

I should finally setup RSS. Is it a pain to get it going for the first time?
I always read from my phone, so I just grab Feeder from F-Droid and start adding feeds. It can also usually detect the feed even without explicit feed url, so you don't have to hunt the rss button on the website you wanna add. I just realized you might be talking about setting up RSS on your blog. If so, please ignore my comment.
Awesome thread! I would like to thank you guys for the awesome recommendations.
