<h3 id="audio-improvement">Audio Improvement?</h3>
<p>This episode was recorded live using Ubuntu Studio, MIXXX, and Ardour 6. I ran my microphone through a gate and compressor and was using a cheap condenser  microphone instead of the cheap dynamic microphone I have previously used. Do you hear a difference? Is it better or worse?</p>
<p>I did all the post editing in Audacity and last minute included the intro so I&rsquo;m sorry if it&rsquo;s too loud this time around.</p>

The Return of the Lemming

To Err is Human. Self reflection about how the individual user is a wildcard for a project. Scaffolding the experience with good documentation is helpful, but PEBCAK will always be a thing. Check out the [blog](/blog/e05) that accompanies this episode for more details about my adventure in getting Wallabag to work on a Raspberry Pi4 using LSIO's SWAG reverse proxy.

PEBCAK and Covid

This week I get involved in testing out beta ISOs for the Ubuntu Project using Virtual Box. I encourage you to participate as well!! See the [blog](/blog/testingweek/) for more details.

Helping the Hippo

Discussion about the recent documentation into multiple upstream projects and exploring self-hosted web analytic platforms.

Lemmings Do Have Something to Contribute!

**CHECK OUT THE [BLOG](/blog/e02/) FOR THIS EPISODE!!** Installing Ubuntu 20.10 on a RPI 4 using an external hard drive. Then, setup docker and docker-compose. Finally, using documentation from [LSIO](docs.linuxserver.io) a reverse proxy with SSL from their SWAG container, Heimdall and Code-Server.

Getting Some SWAG on a RPI 4

<h3 id="special-thanks">Special Thanks</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/mattstratton">Matt Stratton</a> for his hard work on the castanet theme which drives this site and to <a href="https://discourse.destinationlinux.network/t/how-to-make-a-website-with-hugo-and-gitlab/2119">rwaltr</a> for his awesome <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q6ZiCroiGM">video</a> on using Gitlab to create a website using Hugo. Also, the <a href="https://destinationlinux.org/">DLN Crew</a> for their weekly spotlight on Git which motivated me.</p>

<p>Written documentation for getting started with building a simple blog lives <a href="https://rastacalavera.gitlab.io/DLNhugo/post/git-and-hugo-walkthrough/">here</a></p>
<h3 id="how-to-contribute-to-the-linux-lemming">How to Contribute to the Linux Lemming</h3>
<p>A detailed blog post will be made for this but in this episode I go over how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>setup git as a new user</li>
<li>FORK the linuxlemming repo (difference between clone and fork) <sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup></li>
<li>make changes in VSCode</li>
<li>submit a Merge Request</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="vscode-documentation">VSCode Documentation</h3>
<p>I never looked at any <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/versioncontrol#_git-support">documentation</a> for VSCode until I started the process for this episode. It seems that the documentation is very well done and approachable. I really like its level of organization and the inclusion of hyperlinks to other relevant material.</p>
<p>I <strong>REALLY</strong> like the disclaimer of prior knowledge required to make good use of the documentation and how to gain the required knowledge if you don&rsquo;t meet that criteria.<br>
<img src="/img/episode/E01/vscode_intro.png" alt="vscode prior knowledge disclaimer with links"></p>
<p>I am still getting used to VSCode and will most likely do a blog post on it in the future but my first impression is that VSCode documentation gets a 10/10.</p>

Using Git and VSCode to Contribute to the Linux Lemming a [blog](/blog/contributing/) goes with this episode too.

Git, VSCode and Contributing to the Linux Lemming

<h1 id="introduction">Introduction</h1>
<h3 id="who-am-i">Who am I?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Long time Linux Desktop user and new to the server realm.</li>
<li>Hobbyist who knows enough to start projects but doesn&rsquo;t have enough free time to maintain or spend hours troubleshooting.</li>
<li>A &ldquo;lemming&rdquo; who appreciates concise, up to date documentation and wants to see more of it widely available.</li>
<li>Avid podcast listener.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="what-will-this-project-be-like">What Will This Project Be Like?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Place for people to listen/read to my journey via podcast and blogs. Will pick projects and blindly follow the documentation and report back on successes and roadblocks.
<ul>
<li>Will submit upstream changes to projects on documentation if possible.</li>
<li>Will submit tutorial if appropriate to other projects.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>This will not be a dedicated information hub!
<ul>
<li>So many already exist, would rather contribute than reinvent the wheel.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Community contributions are WANTED!
<ul>
<li>Want to try your hand at podcasting? Do it here!!</li>
<li>Want to submit your experience with a project/documentation, do it here!</li>
<li>Try to keep everything within GitLab for easy additions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="is-there-a-schedule">Is there a schedule?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Not really. . .
<ul>
<li>Can only record audio at night or on days when alone due to high volumes of ambient noise.</li>
<li>Will try for 1 new addition per week or biweekly as time permits.</li>
<li>If community involvement picks up, then more will be released.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Currently not on iTunes/PocketCasts/Spotify/Sticher/etc.
<ul>
<li>Don&rsquo;t really plan on doing these unless I have time or community involvement picks up.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="first-official-episode">First &ldquo;Official&rdquo; Episode?</h3>
<ul>
<li>I wouldn&rsquo;t consider this an official submission based on the ideals of the project. This is more of an obligatory episode, thus the E00 tag.</li>
<li>Haven&rsquo;t settled on the topic for E01 yet, maybe how to use Git since I have documentation for that already and that is how I would prefer contributions to roll in.</li>
</ul>

The pre-launch to episode one. Just some introductions and things like that.

Prepare to Launch

Rastacalavera
