So...Linux? Alexa?

Rather than prattle-on about setting one's clock, I wonder if there's
any Linux success stories to share.

I just renumbered my colo -- including my mail server -- using Linux
policy routing so that the old and new IP addresses a) would
still answer, as well as b) reply to the proper default address based
on the source address.

No clue how I'd do that on Windows, but I suppose it must have some
facility for that by now...

Built Linux 6.15-rc6, but didn't try to boot it on bare hardware.
Waiting for updates to the NVIDIA drivers that will support it.
Turns out, some calls into the Linux kernel have changed, so
it's not a trivial update.

I guess I could mention Alexa, since I'm pretty sure the smart
speakers run Linux.  I've found them handy for setting alarms
and timers, getting the weather -- and of course, playing music.
I subscribe to di.fm, but also listen to soma.fm (to whom I send
in donations).

Chris A.:  On soma.fm, I tend to listen to "Space Station Soma" or
sometimes "Groove Salad".  The former is closer to "psychill" on
di.fm, whereas the latter is closer to "chillout".  But for sleep,
I enjoy listening to "space dreams"...unless it's playing something
with too much drone.  (Which is odd, because the first soma.fm channel
I used to be glued to was "Drone Zone".)
