Summary
The host shares how he decorated his home office using hexagonal acoustic tiles to create pixel art of Mario and Link, a process he planned using Krita. He also details his efforts to debug and stabilize "Naughty Linux," a Nix-based Ubuntu setup, by testing it in a VM and on an older ThinkPad. Finally, the episode reviews modern terminal-based chat clients like Concord, SLK, and Perch, and demonstrates how to integrate them with the Herder terminal multiplexer for persistent, remote access.
