- Episode 30 – Intragalactic Librarian
The Cyberpunk Librarian podcast turns 30! (Well, 30 episodes.) Join Dan for something different and fun, an original story time done in the style of a radio show. It’s pulp sci-fi with a library twist as we blast off with Intragalactic Librarian!
Side note: I’ve marked this episode as explicit because of a bit of language here and there. Nothing too offensive, but more swearing than I normally indulge in during an episode!
eBooks!If you like the show, download a copy of the story to take with you! Available in ePub and Mobi (Kindle) formats!

NotesTo disable screen blanking and screen savers on Raspbian for Raspberry Pi, you need to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Look for a section in the file labeled [SeatDefaults]. You’ll find several lines underneath it commented out with the # symbol. Remove the # symbol from the line xserver-command and change it to read
xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms
Save the file and reboot.
