    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? April 28

    Jump

  • I'm glad you're back to reading, OP.

    I'm currently reading Derf Backderf's graphic novel My Friend Dahmer, a book about his friend, the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, whom he knew in high school.

    I'm thinking I'll read comics for a while, and plan to read Alan Moore's Watchmen and Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan. I've read all of these great works before, but I feel like a bit of comfort reading right now.

  • The FBI Director Is MIA | Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

    Jump

  • My guess is that the stress of manoeuvring himself into a position he is woefully unqualified for and incapable of handling is finally getting to him. The crushing reality of your own inadequacy would be too much for anyone but the most hardened psychopaths. What can he do? He knows it's just a matter of time until the jig is up, and there's no way he's getting any more suitable for the role. Drinking yourself silly keeps the nasty thoughts of self-recrimination at bay, and gives an elusive moment of reprieve.

    But you know your time is up, Kash. You know you're a charlatan, a clown, who has no tools to fix the situation you built for yourself in your hubris. Do the right thing: Resign. For yourself, for your family, for your fucking country, for the world. Go home. No more trying to please the unpleasable man who turns on a dime.

  • [QUESTION] What are your favorite vegetarian meals?

    Jump

  • Lentil curry (daal) is one of my staples. Indian vegetarian food in general is just fantastic.

  • I hope you find the time to read soon, OP.

    I'm reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I think I read this for school a long time ago. Good book.

  • The implication of that

    Jump

  • You're not being very apparent if they have to ask.

  • That explains it

  • Oh, ok, I thought my neighbor's dog barked all night because he had separation anxiety. I'm so glad to know I couldn't sleep because the dog was ranting about capitalism. That's great. I feel great. Wow.

  • JUST IN: Iran Ends Direct Talks With US After Trump Threatens to Destroy ‘Whole Civilization’

    Jump

  • So, hey, Americans, your president is openly threatening genocide. You might uh, want to do something about that. Just a thought.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? April 07

    Jump

  • A food store near me has a book shelf where anyone can leave books for others to freely take. I dropped a couple of books and picked up Sid Fleischman's Chancy and the Grand Rascal. It's a lighthearted kids' book, set in the post-civil war USA. It's not a long one, but I've enjoyed it so far. After this I'm probably reading a book written by the mom of someone I know about her parents and their lives during the Second World War. Should be interesting.

  • What are the more obscure independent linux distros?

    Jump

  • GNU Guix System is independent I think. Interesting distro, but not for the faint of heart.

  • What are the more obscure independent linux distros?

    Jump

  • There's the Mandriva successors: Mageia, OpenMandriva Lx, PCLinuxOS and ROSA Linux. As far as I know, they are completely independent projects, even if they started as Mandriva forks.

  • That thought used to scare me to death. Now that I'm older... Yeah, I can let all this grief go when it's time. It'll be nice.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? March 24

    Jump

  • After my trip to the gulags, I hopped back in to The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan with the eleventh book, Knife of Dreams. It's the last book he wrote before his death. I actually liked the previous - tenth - book, though it had very little plot. I think maybe two chapters in the whole book moved the story along, so practically you could skip the whole of it and not miss much. Luckily the one I'm currently reading actually starts moving things towards the climax. As ever, I am terribly conflicted with Jordan's writing.

    I also some time ago watched the movie The Death of Stalin and quite enjoyed it, so inspired by that I picked up the original comic book by Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin. It was a good comic book, though perhaps somewhat more sombre in tone than the film. I heartily recommend both though.

  • I really liked McGurdy's book. Her mother was a piece of work, but it's obvious she's done the work and is in a better head space now. Good for her. And yeah, the writing isn't exactly complex, but it gets the point across.

  • Is it safe to assume that all apps from the software store (Discover in my case) are safe?

  • It may be a lot to take in at first, but seems to me you've got it!

  • A repository (or repo) is a server that hosts program files for your distribution. Distributions host their own repositories from which you can install software with your package manager, like APT or DNF or others. If you only install software from your distribution's repository, there's likely no clashes with software versioning and dependencies, and the packages are about as reliable as they can be (which doesn't mean there's never malware). If you add third party repositories for software not available from your distribution's repository, it's more likely there will be issues, because the distribution doesn't guarantee the packages work well together.

    For example, Debian and Arch don't retrieve and install their software from the same source. They have their own servers (repositories) hosting software compiled to work with their particular distro and to be used by their chosen package manager.

    Flatpak (or Snap or Guix) is a separate package manager that handles it's own dependencies and doesn't clash with your distribution's own software manager.

    Does this help?
