Bash videos part 2
My first post on this was back on the 7th September. Since then I have made a few more videos and posted to my peertube account.
Any questions, you can e-mail me or follow me on Mastodon @[email protected].
I am also re posting some links posts that link to the learning the BASH shell videos.

Free E-books and e-learning
As I am on the mailing list for Free Code Camp [1]. I was recently emailed with an offer to obtain some Free programming E-books on a range of programming / coding languages, detailed below.

Code Club 18/11/2023 Ventoy
As Paignton Library code club is more advanced than normal code clubs, I undertook some research in to how to create multiboot USB sticks.
Problem
The average ISO file for a Linux ( or similar ) distribution is usually < 4gb, as we have USB sticks larger than 8, in fact I have a few 16 and the library just sent for some 32gb sticks, having 1 ISO per stick is rather wasteful.
Research and solution
My research led me to a tool called Ventoy this is a small, open source program that, when run, creates file system on the target USB stick to facilitate booting more than one installer.
Notes and warning
The target USB stick will however be Formatted and all data wiped as the program is windows, I used an old netbook with windows still installed to do this.
Current status
ISO files can be added / removed as required. So far I have a 16gb usb stick with :-
Debian 12 Linux mint 21.2 xfce RescaTux.
With space for more. This has also feed up some of my USB sticks.
This should be good going forward, so hopefully we can have one or two installer disks, and free up the other USB sticks for data.
The following image is from the Ventoy Boot Menu.

BASH Videos
I am trying to make some really simple screen cast videos, illustrating a few BASH commands. These are being published on my peertube account
They should also be federated to Mastodon.
To give an example, this video shows usage of the rename command

ToriOS Internship Program – version 1.0
Goals:
1- Oxidize the C++ programs used in ToriOS, and improve them. 2- Oxidize the scripted builds. 3- Oxidize the scripts used in ToriOS, and use serde for configuration, support multiple formats in and out. 4- Build separate libraries for separate tasks. Many small libraries that can be reused are better than one big one for everything. 5- Bring these components together and create a desktop environment using any window manager. 6- Replace GNU with Rust equivalents to make Oxidized Linux as the base of the operating system. 7- Configure multiple window managers using the same graphical tool, allowing for the conversion of one window manager format to another, seamlessly. 8- build menus for window managers with an oxidized menu generator. 9- Oxidize FLTK applications menu program. 10- Make portrait and landscape layouts for the desktop. Using dbus to load things when needed.
Longer term wish list goals:
1- Rust + FLTK to create a modern panel/tray system. 2- Handle the virtual desktops, use ~/Desktop.d/... for handling multiple desktops with multiple icon layouts. Just a desktop manager, not a file manager. 3- Build our design of a very modular onscreen keyboard. 4- Make all GUI apps display a TUI when no $DISPLAY exists. 5- Volume manager to trigger whatever events are configured. 6- Pre-built Phone images to flash as well as ISOs to download. 7- replace any GTK specific programs with Rust + FLTK versions. 8- use a native Rust GUI toolkit when one is mature enough.
Note:
The word [#Oxidize] is used to mean converting an older program to use Rust, instead of whatever programming language it was originally written in.
IF AND ONLY IF YOU MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, please apply by sending an email to: [ ali AT torios DOT top ]

Tilde – text editor
Tilde is a nice, curses based text editor. It is useful for if you are at the console or terminal in Linux and want a menu driven editor.
While other tools are more command driven (nano, emacs, vi, vim and joe to name a few). Tilde is being mentioned for those of you who may find it useful
As you would expect with a modern editor, tilde has support for syntax highlighting.
Which is really useful for programming or editing website code for example.
