04:51 Mark tells us that he's upgraded his openSuse 15.0 Leap instance to 15.1 using a guide he found. He tells us he's considering changing to openSuse Leap on his main desktop, much to Wayne's consternation.
Mark goes on to tell us about a couple of things happening now or soon, the first being the Decentralized Web Camp happening near San Francisco at the moment, brought to us by our friends at the Internet Archive. Mark says he will put a link in the show notes to some of the videos that are available from previous Decentralized web summits.
Mark also wants to mention that Sysadmin Day 2019 is happening next Friday, 26th July.
