Resize and rename multiple files
As I was renaming and resizing some files anyway. I decided to make this short video of the process. I have added to Debian category as I am using Debian 11.
Commands used:-
gm -mogrify -resize 640x480 *.JPG
AND
rename 's/P1/codeclub/'
As usual your mileage may vary, you need to check man pages for specific arguments for your needs.
Happy to try and help further via Mastodon

Online course for biohacking
This was posted to Mastodon, so I am sharing here. Other than what is below, I am not sure what it is about. You need to do your own research.
6 days left to register for an online course that explores how artists use biohacking, gaming, robotics, photography & collaborative experiments to examine existential threats, survival strategies & our fascination for catastrophic scenarios

Mental health and the fediverse
Mental health has hit the headlines more often since the Covid 19 pandemic hit the world People at home with little contact with other people.
Couple this with the impact of centralised social media services, giving people personalised content, which in some cases is causing more problems for people of all ages.
Shout Out
To this end, this article is more of a shout out to organisations who offer mental health services to set up on the fediverse. Services such as a Mastodon and Peertube could provide an excellent platform to share your message and connect.audience who may need help
As a user of decentralised social media I do find people who need help, you can tell by what they write, their tone that they need to perhaps talk to someone for advice.
This post also comes as a result of my own attempts to ask people on to the Fediverse. I have had conversations on Mastodon and there is support for this, but that is not enough. If we want something then it is up to people to be pro-active and act, rather than waiting for expecting someone else to do it.
So I am taking action and trying to do something about this.
Not Alone
Signing up to the fediverse is easy, however you are not alone, people can and will help you with this.
