=> Setting up void linux on an old raspberry pi
In this tutorial I walk-through how I set up void linux on an old 2013 Raspberry Pi 1B, then installed a GUI and configured it with i3 window manager, and the basic software I use. A follow-up post will be on my experience using this set-up for the Old Computer Challenge V3. I had originally started using a Chip computer but I rendered it unworkable earlier in the week so pulled out this old Pi I had.
I did not set up wifi or a wifi card but instead just plugged the device directly into ethernet, which simplified my setup a bit. Note: I'm not an expert, just an ambitious coder-tinkerer. Directions may not work for everyone nor in all situations. You'll likely need ingenuity to solve challenges, and things could diverge from what I describe here. Follow at your own risk.
=> Introduction to immutable Linux systems
If you reach this page, you may be interested into this new category of Linux distributions labeled "immutable".
In this category, one can find by age (oldest → youngest) NixOS, Guix, Endless OS, Fedora Silverblue, OpenSUSE MicroOS, Vanilla OS and many new to come.
I will give examples of immutability implementation, then detail my thoughts about immutability, and why I think this naming can be misleading. I spent a few months running all of those distributions on my main computers (NAS, Gaming, laptop, workstation) to be able to write this text.

I've decided to write on [my blog] how I manage my manga collection with org mode (and orgtable / orgplot). If you want to read about the how, you can read it on [my blog (https)] or on the [gemini version] (might be less optimised and images are missing). Although I've explained the how I maintain my manga collection, I haven't shared it. Instead, I'm sharing it only here on my gemini capsule. Maybe people reading my blog will be curious enough to install gemini to read this post :) ?
Kerkerkruip is a coffee-break roguelike game with a text adventure interface. This makes it unusually suitable for playing over gemini, and now you can do that: Gemkerkerkruip
It's a mostly solitary affair, but I added a couple of means of user interaction to take advantage of online play: a daily leaderboard, and a "ghosts file".
