• Announcing the release of SUSE Customer Center’s new landing page

  At SUSE, we are committed to providing our customers and partners with the best possible support and resources. That's why we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new landing page for the SUSE Customer Center (SCC).

• Fulfilling a reader's request for my "dot files"

  I got a bit of feedback the other day from Nate asking if I had dot files. I certainly do. I assume what they meant is if I have particular customizations, and then if I would care to share them. I definitely have a bunch of particular changes, and as for sharing them, why not. It lets me get a bunch of shots in at things that have become annoying over the years, and that means it's perfect for stirring up the hornet nests with a Friday night post.

• Local game streaming with Sunshine and Moonlight

  Here I’ll write an ode to two closely-linked FOSS projects that have, recently, absolutely floored me with their competence & quality: Sunshine and Moonlight. These are used to stream video games over a (usually local) network. Sunshine is a game streaming server: it runs on your PC as it chugs away doing all the heavy lifting of running the game itself, while Moonlight is a game streaming client that runs on whatever thin hardware exists where you want to play the game! I run Sunshine on my home office workstation and Moonlight on a NVIDIA Shield Android TV connected to a 55" screen in the living room. Some games are just best played on the couch! It’s also important if you have someone you want to share the experience with instead of sequestering yourself alone in your dark Gamer Den.

• Tufte CSS

  Tufte CSS provides tools to style web articles using the ideas demonstrated by Edward Tufte’s books and handouts. Tufte’s style is known for its simplicity, extensive use of sidenotes, tight integration of graphics with text, and carefully chosen typography.

  Tufte CSS was created by Dave Liepmann and is now an Edward Tufte project. The original idea was cribbed from Tufte-LaTeX and R Markdown’s Tufte Handout format. We give hearty thanks to all the people who have contributed to those projects.

  If you see anything that Tufte CSS could improve, we welcome your contribution in the form of an issue or pull request on the GitHub project: tufte-css. Please note the contribution guidelines.

• Uptime Guarantees — A Pragmatic Perspective

  Engineers won't tell you this. It's not how they think. They love working on nice juicy problems, and being able to put them on their CVs.
