Every day the Butlerian Jihad looks more and more enticing.

I’m not sure what is with all the recent gatekeeping and glamourisation I am seeing around pirating, just seed your torrent and go bro.

It is (almost) everywhere and anywhere you choose to reach across and make it happen friend. Try it out and see, I bet you will not be disappointed!

During one of the lowest ebbs in my life, I subconsciously and unknowingly sustained myself simply by buying one extra dessert (ice cream, chocolate, something sweet and inocuous) for the doormen at my building. This small act of human bonding would give me enough energy to face tomorrow without dreading it, and little by little I was able to dig myself out of a deep hole.

The point of this parable is, do not underestimate the value of human connection! A very small act may turn someone’s day around and that energy is reflected back to you in droves.

I love the cooking but hate the cleaning up part.

If only not stuffing your face for one meal was a thing.

Right you are, I am almost complete opposite end of political compass from .ml but still end up having interesting discussions and finding commonalities. To me .world is where the echo chamber dwelling momos live.

A bad workman blames his tools. As much as I have been tortured with pointless PowerPoints, it is incapable of inflicting harm without the arsehole in charge of it.

The comments section here is absolute gold for anyone that aims to improve communication skills. Great post op.

I seed so others may leech.

Honestly I only ever learnt Linux admin by troubleshooting my borked Arch updates, necessity being the mother of invention and all.

Distribution ensure integrity of data. Let’s say we sign a contract, cryptographically sign it and all that good stuff but then oh no, where we stored your contract went up in fire and now I don’t have to honour that contract. (contrived example I know)

Commercial detection systems exist already although I couldn’t vouch for their efficacy. How they will integrate with streaming however is another question.

I for one am excited for this phase of the cat & mouse game, as solving this challenge means keeping the monkey off our backs for good while longer.

Let the games begin.

If you’re comfortable running Docker, check out net probe. It comes with an all in one logging/graphing stack that will probe your internet quality based on lag and packet loss. Default configs is good enough to get you going and you can tinker to your heart’s content from there. Probably won’t play Black Sabbath automatically though unfortunately!

You will probably hear a lot of hate about Manjaro but I absolutely love it. I have an AMD/nvidia laptop (possibly one of the worst combinations to have according to legend) and Manjaro ended up being the most stable distro for me. It is Arch adjacent but comes with sane defaults. Then I found my-laptop specific kernels and now I am in heaven. Uptime is at 21 days but still buttery smooth 165Hz KDE6 Wayland goodness every time I use it.

I felt the exact same how you do now, once I got it up and running how I liked it, I (almost) never booted Windows again.

Even if it becomes impossible to block the ads out I will cover my ears, close my eyes and shout ‘lalala’ to avoid them.
