Linux Journal articles
I had a read of a few Linux Journal articles today. Easy reads that give you a high level view of what’s available:

- How to Monitor Your System with Zabbix
- Navigating the Linux Textscape using Vim and Emacs
- Locating Leviathan Files in Linux
- How to Configure Postfix Mail Server on Debian

And I didn’t want to do that until I had my new HDMI recording setup installed, but that’s done now, so I AM READY BABY.
Saturn PCB Design Toolkit
Today while watching EEVblog 1559 – PCB Design: Trace Current Rating I learned about the Saturn PCB Design Toolkit.
ChatGPT formats date/time in PHP
I asked ChatGPT to format php datetime as “Fri 24 Mar 2023” and it “understood” what I meant and gave me the answer that I wanted! If that’s not intelligence I don’t know what is…
