I've wanted to throw linux on a second drive in this gaming rig for a long time, and today I'm getting it done! If you'd like to see how to install linux while still retaining your Windows partition, check out this video. I'm taking my Windows 11 gaming and media editing machine, and safely installing Fedora 38 Workstation on a second drive. For Nvidia users, you'll want this link, it takes you through installing and signing the proprietary nvidia driver so it'll still work with secure boot enabled. https://blog.monosoul.dev/2022/05/17/automatically-sign-nvidia-kernel-module-in-fedora-36/ You can find Fedora at https://www.fedoraproject.org https://isatube-content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/streaming-playlists/hls/c74b7f8a-1a77-40e5-b052-ee8cf0b14ec5/f2ee1227-b44a-4327-b011-d4b2d230fdfc-master.m3u8https://video.ironsysadmin.com/videos/embed/qBnjvHMMmvmkee86uzQ2Kk29985162023-11-04T15:09:18.733Zlinuxfedoranew to linuxnew linux useropensourceYESThe Iron SysadminNOhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/w/jdXNCy9V6oSdXUCm4GMfjvhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/25ce9c74-90f0-4260-9e94-7750bf06e871.jpgValheim "Enable Valheim" base walk around.This is a base walk around that I recorded to show some friends. DJ Tyler and I have been planing this play-through for about a month. We've just hit the Mistlands biome as of a few days ago. A lot of this build is DJ's handywork, so credit where credit is due. The video starts in my house, that of course I built. I also built the barn behind the crafting pavilion, the garden, and a few other odds and ends. Tyler and DJ's houses are behind the castle in the center. The portal situation is temporary, and will eventually be moved to a portal hall of some sort. https://isatube-content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/streaming-playlists/hls/9393cfc0-f604-44e4-93bb-16dc0b198191/7d322b36-6b13-4873-903c-5ae927e8efb4-master.m3u8https://video.ironsysadmin.com/videos/embed/jdXNCy9V6oSdXUCm4GMfjv544052024-01-21T16:51:46.009Zvalheimbuildbasevalheim buildvalheim serverYESNate Plays Old GamesNOhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/w/cQ1eX1sphxxvboFfrMwiM2https://video.ironsysadmin.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/e26a745a-4f49-4e84-834e-bcdd62589d1f.jpgDitch your passwords, they're flawed and easy to phish. Passkey Auth for Linux in FreeIPA!Passwords stuck. They're ancient in IT terms. Sure, its how we do things, but that doesn't make it the right solution. Passwordless authentication, Zero Trust architecture, its where the industry is headed. Well, the latest code to arrive in FreeIPA lets you authenticate to your gnome desktop, and even SSH using a centrally managed user, with passkey (yubikey in this video) authentication. No password at all, more secure.

I thought, hey, i wonder if I could use this in No Mans Sky when i hop in my space ship? So tonight I did some digging, and figured it out! With Universal Control Remapper, and a little thought and planning, i was able to map in both the stick and throttle as an emulated Xbox controller! Switching between vr, and the HOTUS is pretty smooth, as long as you set the throttle to 0 before switching back to vr, otherwise it goes nuts because it sees input from both at once. https://isatube-content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/streaming-playlists/hls/45215e58-dc98-4728-b202-6d602ab9bf2a/aba53287-8e8b-47d2-94e4-a76eb868c5e5-master.m3u8https://video.ironsysadmin.com/videos/embed/9x7PviXdh4WqyiLqkUbQTL5650112024-03-03T05:28:53.502Zno mans skygaminghotusflightsimYESNate Plays Old GamesNOhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/w/1s8pU84vT4G2AtkM7hkXdphttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/82f1a6f0-0b61-461a-a0ed-5445ff1e43bc.jpgLet's take back the Internet - March 2024 meetup - by gangrif@gangrif@social.undrground.org set out to talk about the network of activitypub instances we all refer to as the Fediverse.

The Hexlamp. This is a 100% home built LED light similar in look to the Nanoleaf, but much less expensive. It uses WLED and an ESP8266 as it's controller, a power adapter picked up from amazon, and a WS2812B type RGB LED strip. The hexlamp has been on my wall for years, and has held up really well! but from day 1 I had some complaints about the build quality. Which of course were all my fault. I recently found a new remix of the hexlamp that was designed to be customizable! So I decided it was time to rebuild, and the new light is so much nicer than the old one. Parts used (amazon links are affiliate links): LED strip: https://amzn.to/3TdmLSx 5v DC adapter: https://amzn.to/3Mq6JRB (10A, but your project may vary) Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266: https://amzn.to/3XpQeuT (you can choose other boards supported by WLED if you'd like to) DC Power Jack: https://amzn.to/3MtV8B6 This list of course doesnt include a few things I had already. Mainly a Soldering iron, and a 3d printer, and the knowledge to use them. I have a Creality Ender 5 Pro, and a 20 watt weller soldering iron. Ive had both of these for years, and in fact the soldering iron I inherited from someone else.

Build a homelab!I think the best way to learn linux, is by getting hands-on. So Today I am going to show you how to turn an old laptop (or any old system) into a home lab! Why do you need a home lab? Well, so you can try things out, in a safe environment that wont interfere with your home computer, or get in the way of your day to day. Building a dedicated home lab system guarantees that you wont delete those lab systems to make space for some game or whatever on your laptop. And its cheaper than running cloud instances for everything! In this video I'll take this old laptop, and install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on it, then set it up as a container and virtual machine host.

Among the changes, were updates like, “Making security cute” and “Making sound cute”, and “Making readme cute”, in each of these commits the only change was the addition of an ascii-art of a cute anime girl’s face. https://larian.com/support/faqs/steam-deck-native-versio...https://isatube-content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/streaming-playlists/hls/0b916b5b-d182-41df-b1b1-dfcf3e9e5b07/cdc56478-327a-4f63-9621-088becc410f6-master.m3u8https://video.ironsysadmin.com/videos/embed/2qRnVmrgvVjnDimV1CLaSg740552025-09-26T20:47:04.773ZYESThe Iron SysadminNOhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/w/1ePhJYWm6Vsm5p1YK2ysKJhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/129dce15-6122-4c37-a04d-86e5a2f7dec1.jpgThe End of 10, F-droid in trouble, More NPM supply chain, and linux gaming improvements!It’s END OF 10 week (let’s talk about that) F-Droid facing developer identification issues after google’s software verification announcement. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/f-droid-project-threatened-by-googles-new-dev-registration-rules/ More NPM supply chain attacks, this time from North Korea https://currently.att.yahoo.com/att/north-korean-hackers-target-crypto-221509651.html Doom Dark Ages gets performance improvements and steam deck verified https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/10/doom-the-dark-ages-gets-a-major-performance-upgrade-for-handhelds-now-steam-deck-verified/ Gaming on linux has come a long way https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1o50o79/gaming_on_linux_keeps_getting_better_especially/ Gonna be honest, i had trouble watching the video, but he made some good points.

The AWS Failure: A Deep Dive into the DynamoDB & DNS Outage We start with the AWS outage that took out major services like Signal, Fortnite, and Roblox, overnight from Sunday into Monday morning (Oct. 19-20). The core issue began with Amazon's DynamoDB service in the Virginia US-East-1 Region. The Cause: The failure was triggered by a "latent defect" in the service's DNS management, which led to DynamoDB endpoint queries returning empty. The Cascade: This DNS flaw caused a cascading failure, leading to a "long tail of failures" as DNS caches struggled to clear and refresh. Widespread Impact: The network chaos resulted in high traffic on network load balancers causing health check failures, followed by new EC2 instances failing to start or suffering network connectivity issues. The Cloud Dependency Debate: The incident highlights a significant "democratic deficit" and risk in relying on a few Big Tech cloud providers, forcing a discussion on the high costs and complexity of building proper redundancy for smaller applications. https://www.techpolicy.press/amazon-cloud-outage-reveals-democratic-deficit-in-relying-on-big-tech/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/10/23/aws-outage-new-analysis-explains-what-went-wrong-and-why/ 2. Linux Gaming Success: ASUS ROG Ally X Gets a Massive FPS Boost The Hardware: The recently launched ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X handheld gaming console was initially well-received but quickly drew complaints about its bloated Windows software stack and clunky UI. The Fix: When a user installed the Linux-based Bazzite operating system, the handheld transformed. Performance Win: Testing showed significant FPS improvements, making the device perform "basically like a Steam Deck". https:...https://isatube-content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/streaming-playlists/hls/0ba6619f-b117-4d77-add8-1855f98fe416/67ea1df2-ee44-4838-9679-796687730f3b-master.m3u8https://video.ironsysadmin.com/videos/embed/2rroJZWzSSwqYWxUE1ctRY1258052025-10-24T22:33:25.458Zaws outagecloudsysadminlinuxgamingYESThe Iron SysadminNOhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/w/9KGHq2wQa9tJfmh9TXW27Xhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/6b9412f4-4bee-4823-993a-6ec1730bbf99.jpgIronSysAdmin Open Source News Recap: 90% Windows Games on Linux, Ubuntu Drops X11, Stranger Things 5Join Nate for this week's open-source news recap, covering a major milestone in Linux gaming viability, a significant shift in the Ubuntu display server, and an update on a fan-favorite Netflix show. The episode also reminds listeners about the upcoming DevCon 610 pub crawl and highlights a funding initiative supporting the open and free internet. Intro & DefCon 610 Announcement Reminder to mark calendars for the DefCon 610 Pub Crawl and CTF on November 8th at Noon. https://www.meetup.com/defcon610/events/311572906/ Linux Gaming Milestone New data shows that nearly 90% of Windows games now run on Linux. The viability of gaming on Linux is higher than ever, largely due to the Proton/WINE translation layer. Nate discusses the nuances of game compatibility, including issues with kernel-level anti-cheat. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/nearly-90-percent-of-windows-games-now-run-on-linux-latest-data-shows-as-windows-10-dies-gaming-on-linux-is-more-viable-than-ever Ubuntu's Display Server Shift Ubuntu 25.10 ships without X11, fully embracing Wayland as the default display server]. This transition has caused some controversy online, though many other distributions like Fedora and Red Hat have already made the move. The host notes that X11 was no longer being well-maintained. https://thenewstack.io/ubuntu-25-10-scraps-x11-for-wayland-a-solid-step-forward/ Funding the Open Internet The NLnet Foundation reports on the NGL Zero fund, which is dedicated to furthering the open internet.

We analyze why Linux gaming is surging on Steam, recently surpassing MacOS. Plus, we cover Nvidia's move into open-source drivers with the new Nova project for their next-gen accelerators , and dive into the details of Microsoft Azure's 8-hour outage. Tune in for your weekly dose of open source news and community updates! 🎙️ Show Notes: Week of November 7th This week, Nate dives into some big updates for open source social networking, major growth in Linux gaming, an interesting move from Nvidia, and another cloud provider facing downtime. Social Media & Open Source News Mastodon 4.5 Introduces Quote Posts: The platform has finally rolled out quote-posting, a feature that was previously unavailable. Quote posts are considered controversial on platforms like X and Threads due to frequent abuse and being used to single-out users in an effort to harass them. Mastodon aims to mitigate this by allowing users to set quoting permissions, which the platform will then respect, giving users more control over their interactions. https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/mastodon-4-5-brings-quote-posts-with-anti-harassment-controls Nvidia's Open Source Initiative: Nvidia engineers are developing a new open-source driver named Nova. The driver is currently being prepared to support select GPU's, namely the Hopper and Blackwell generations. These do not appear to be gaming adapters, but likely for compute. https://www.techpowerup.com/342552/3-of-steam-users-play-on-linux-a-third-of-them-on-steamos Gaming & Operating Systems Linux Gaming Market Share Rises: Linux gaming now accounts for 3% of all Steam users.

What responsibility do billion-dollar tech companies have to community-maintained projects like FFmpeg? Plus, we cover significant announcements from the enterprise Linux space, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10.1 and 9.7 releases and Canonical's extended 15-year support for Ubuntu LTS releases. In gaming, Valve just announced new hardware, including the powerful Steam Machine and a new Steam Controller. Finally, we discuss a critical warning from the UN about the need for ethical guardrails around the rapidly advancing Brain Tech Revolution. Show Notes Open Source Conflict: FFmpeg vs. Google Google is using an AI code assistant to analyze and report bugs. This is creating extra load on small, community-maintained open-source projects, like FFmpeg. FFmpeg is a set of tools that read, convert, and re-encode all video formats, and it is leveraged by many sites, including YouTube, Plex, VLC, browsers like Chrome and Firefox, and Amazon. The FFmpeg community thinks it is reasonable that a company worth as much as Google should submit a patch along with their bug reports. This issue raises the question of whether AI-analyzed bugs are even of any value, as one valid bug was related to ancient media from an old Lucas Arts game. https://thenewstack.io/ffmpeg-to-google-fund-us-or-stop-sending-bugs/ Enterprise Linux News Red Hat announced the release of RHEL 10.1 and 9.7. Highlights of the release include: validated hardware drivers for AI accelerators from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel; improvements around the Command Line Assistant; soft-reboots; and progress on Post-quantum crypto. https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-delivers-evolving-foundation-modern-it-latest-version-red-hat-enterprise-linux Canonical is now providing up to 15 years of commercial support for Ubuntu...https://isatube-content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/streaming-playlists/hls/64aac504-0599-4ebd-9320-c0cc5a7f3aff/59fb1032-825f-4fe2-8a10-6ee170030236-master.m3u8https://video.ironsysadmin.com/videos/embed/dqZd23c8hBRXsvb7dB8eFe10710142025-11-14T04:21:01.378ZlinuxprivacyopensourceredhatcanonicalYESThe Iron SysadminNOhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/w/39SFUNr35oidnRA6mLmoyrhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/3a7091d7-9bdd-4e14-a0f2-35c2fc478657.jpgCHOO CHOO MOTHER F***** - My Train in satisfactory finally works.CHOO CHOO MOTHER F***** - My Train in satisfactory finally works.https://isatube-content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/streaming-playlists/hls/116f7713-3e62-4309-a203-abaaf0331211/ed53cd5d-0ce9-4249-8ee1-78bc8addc6cf-master.m3u8https://video.ironsysadmin.com/videos/embed/39SFUNr35oidnRA6mLmoyr340032025-11-15T02:14:53.888ZgamingsatisfactorytrainsYESNate Plays Old GamesNOhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/w/sdbeQ6reQvngtGCWtNixTHhttps://video.ironsysadmin.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/b8d9c7fd-4e77-45aa-b425-e366c29bba30.jpgMy nightmare run from the CATS in satisfactoryI was exploring, and thought I'd take a shortcut through some unexplored map to get home...

In this week’s recap, we’re diving into the latest controversy surrounding Discord user privacy and their new "Teen by Default" age verification system which might already be shadow-surveilling you via AI. We also have some positive news: Mastodon is finally fixing its onboarding friction to help decentralized social media go mainstream, and ASUS is leading a new charge to unify the gaming on linux experience through the Open Gaming Collective. In this episode: Discord Privacy Alert: Why their new age-scan policy is a nightmare for internet freedoms. Mastodon Adoption Fix: How redesigned profiles and improved onboarding are fighting centralization. Linux Gaming Unified: What the "Open Gaming Collective" means for the future of open source gaming. Show Notes & Timestamps [00:00] Intro: The State of Internet Freedoms Nate’s take on the recurring cycle of corporate overreach and the need for open source alternatives. [02:15] Discord’s "Teen by Default" & AI Surveillance The Gist: All users must verify their age or face restricted "teen" account status starting March 2026.

The "Shadow" AI: Discord claims many users won't need to scan because they’ve already been analyzing chat patterns to "peg" user ages. History Repeating: Reminder of the 2025 data breach involving a 3rd party vendor.
