Hyperlink Roundup 11

Almost published this without an intro. Oops! It's been a good few weeks since the last Hyperlink Roundup and though I read many blogs, it was still a busy time wrapping up work before the holidays. A week of vacation has passed and I've caught up on alot of sleep and napping. If I'm tired during the day, whatever, I'll take a nap. The days are short and it's dark most of the time and I never know what day it is when I wake up! It's about bedtime soon, so publishing this now for the other part of the world to read with their morning coffee 😂

How To Request And Download All Your iCloud Data From Apple - Jason is in the midst of leaving Apple (as am I) and in his post are links to Apple Support to download all your data. I've sent a request and just waiting on the email from Apple. I've downloaded most of my personal information but always good to have another backup that is more detailed.

Sayonara Player - Sayonara is a highly customizable, clear and fast audio player for Linux and BSD. This recommendation came from Anita Lewis. I was searching for an audiobook player and this is above and beyond. Great program.

Awesome OpenBSD - The curated list of awesome OpenBSD resources. Great place to start after your install.

I Have Way Too Many RSS Favorites - Matt writes about being overwhelmed from all the great rss feeds he has collected. I've been there before, I found a great opml file and loaded it with my own collection. Right away I regret mixing it all up because several of those rss feeds were dead or about topics I wasn't interested in.

My weekend with Linux. Omarchy to Fedora (Cosmic) - Jack writes about his transition into the world of Linux. He also moved from Apple Photos to Immich.

Personal Link Collection - Julian has collected numerous links for Linux and BSD. This is a great place to start your own collection.

Random Nostalgia - Sean writes about presenting old operating systems to his kids. He remembers what we all did in front of the TV or CRT monitor connected to those 8-bit computers. He is also living it up with a new Commodore 64!

Downloading a site from Archive.org and then serving locally using Kiwix - Dom is a man of collecting information to use when the power goes out. Dom has so many cool projects on his site.

Link Stash | 21 December 2025 - so many good smallweb links here from Zak. Like buy coffee via ssh from the terminal.shop! What!

Building and running Linux off a Floppy Disk with Floppinux - Andreas gives it a shot with a little netbook and external floppy drive.
