Open Source implementation of GOG Galaxy's Communication Service, Comet sees a first release
While it still has plenty of work ahead of it, Comet is a very promising project to bring the full power of GOG Galaxy over to Linux without needing to run their client in Wine.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I have to say that I've been kind of looking forward to this.
I saw this project being mentioned in the talk about "Linux Gaming beyond Steam" at the Ubuntu Summit, so I've been keeping tabs on it.

I am really glad to see that more progress has been made and we are getting closer to fully supporting the Communication Service.

@grammargirl As of a few days ago I can’t download Grammar Girl podcast episodes due to a certificate issue. I don’t know if this means anything to you, but the url my podcast app uses to download episodes is podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/m…
Do you have a different “official” feed url? Maybe I’m pulling from a bad source.
Thanks for the heads-up! We've been trying to solve a problem someone else was having with the feed, and I'm wondering if something else got messed up.
Can you tell me what app you're using?
I am using AntennaPod.
I just noticed it shows this url as the source for the Grammar Girl feed: feeds.simplecast.com/XcH2p3Ah
The url I gave previously was part of the url for the actual episode download.

When a thing lets you get far enough along, with hints that the next step will work, that curiosity makes you pursue it.
I know Arch is sometimes seen as a go-to for hacking something together. Instinctively I would think Puppy or similar more suited given that it has the tools for layering a read-write filesystem in RAM over a read-only filesystem (say a squashfs), with periodic write-back to a persistence file.
I still wouldn't be the one to try it though.

Born in 1805 in Jamaica, Mary Seacole was a pioneering nurse.
As a child, Mary learned traditional healing methods from her mother. Her mixed race family had few civil rights & could not vote, hold public office or enter many professions.
Known as 'Mother Seacole’ during the Crimean War, Mary helped wounded soldiers heal & find comfort.
In 1857, she published her memoirs, 'The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands'. maryseacoletrust.org.uk/learn-… #HistoryRemix #history #science
