<divclass="post-excerpt"><p>I wanted to get a gift for my blind friend who has been interested in learning Linux for a while now.
Just when I was about to start looking for something I decided to take a look at <ahref="https://lbry.tv/@Lunduke:e/raspberry-pi-400-looks-rad:c">Brian Lunduke’s newest video</a> featuring the <ahref="https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-400/?resellerType=home">Raspberry Pi 400</a>.
The Raspberry Pi 400 has come full circle in terms of computing.
It is a keyboard. All the computing is done from within the keyboard.
Much like the Comodore64, this computer comes without a screen but is still technically fully functional without one.
I had my ‘Aha!’ moment, and decided that the Raspberry Pi 400 would be a very cool present.</p>

<divclass="post-excerpt"><p>I recently installed Manjaro ARM (based on Arch Linux ARM) on a Raspberry Pi 4.
I used some standard commands to start to add the <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pacaur</code> package so I can easily retrieve <ahref="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository">AUR packages</a> without needing to do it manually.
Unfortunately, there is a small problem with compiling this on ARM.</p>

<divclass="post-excerpt"><p>As Linux becomes controlled by corporate sponsors and becomes more full of proprietary blobs, drivers, and even closed-source software like Steam,
One may wonder if there are other options out there.
For me, somebody that is intensely interested in security, there is one option: OpenBSD.</p>

<divclass="post-excerpt"><p>As an advocate for openness, I had an idea to make a project out of the government of Canada’s <ahref="https://open.canada.ca/en/open-data">Open Data</a>
initiative to take a look at how my local MP voted on various pieces of legislation.
It turns out though that this was not necessary due to how easy it was to find this information on the government’s own website.
In this article, I will explain how you can do the same.</p>
