Well, this is going to be our new home and we'll ride it 'til the wheels fall off, just like we did with Voat.

There will be continuity. The thread will continue. I've checked and the owner assures me that the site's resources will handle us.

It's not all bad... Voat had started to go downhill quite a while ago. We had to have the regular site open, the preview site open, and then had to generate alts just so we could consistently use Voat without the dreaded 500 error.

But, I'd like to avoid lamenting the past and I'd like to encourage looking forward. This sub was prepared long ago and has existed since the very earliest days of Poal. We can, and will, use it to host our guitar thread.

As always, there's , but music is best when shared and Poal has an audience.

If you're new to Poal, try to take care to read and understand the site before barging in and making bold proclamations and demands. Don't bring past grievances forward. Let us be good stewards of the thread and guests of the site.

We will have the final Voat FNGT on Thursday. On Friday, we're gonna have a FNGT right here on Poal. That's right! We're gonna have two guitar threads. Pretty sweet, huh? Besides, our Christmas thread is a good time for them to see us in action. It's when we're on our worst behavior but bring our best music!

As always, rock on.

LOL I don't need donations. I've got money. I had thought about a donation button, but it seemed kinda cheesy.

I'll eventually toss some ads on there. Any extra revenue after expenses will get donated to EFF or some other worthy tech charitable organization.

By the time I'm "done", I'd expect about 1500 articles, based on the copious notes I've kept over the years. I used to use Unix, before Linux was a thing, and then switched to Linux exclusively when I retired. So, since about 2007 I've used just Linux - nothing else. Well, maybe some BSD here and there.

I did have a Windows phone for quite a while. It was actually pretty awesome. I also knew nobody would bother to write malware for it!

Forced to do bsd as well for a couple clients.

I heard so many great things about windows phone - and from coders and actual techies too, but I let my M$ disdain prevent me from owning one sadly.

It was a pretty good phone.

As for BSD, I could probably live just fine with GhostBSD on the desktop. It's a stunningly beautiful OS and they take great care in ensuring it's bug-free (inasmuch as anything can ever be 'bug free'). In all the the use I've given it, I've not discovered anything out of place, nor any bugs at all.

One of the reasons I test Lubuntu is because I'm pretty good at finding broken software and spotting even the smallest of errors. I dunno why. They just stand out for me. It's like my eyes are drawn to them.

For example, in my second paragraph, I typed "the the". You probably didn't notice that. I don't make it a habit to point out typos or things like that, but I do when I'm testing.
