I already switched from Windows to Mint a couple of years ago and liked it a lot. Never distro-hopped, though. Now I got curious and installed ublue Aurora on a laptop. This experience is both very smooth (flatpak) and strange (distrobox) and I’m not sure I already fully understand immutable distros. But I keep on using it, get more experienced and I certainly will never go back to Windows.

50 terabyte of family memories? Maybe trash 49 then. :)

Slightly provocative take:
Let it go, it doesn’t matter. The desire to hoard data is, like hoarding money, understandable but unnecessary. What do you do with all this media. Your time on this planet is finite.

Efficiency is the exact opposite of resilience, because it removes redundancy and buffers.

I reccomend using DietPi as the OS for all this. It comes with lots of optimized software you can install by selecting from a list. Easy and fun.

Would like to say yes, but thinking about an infinity of not living while everyone I knew is long forgotten and the universe gets cold makes me dizzy. We are all trembling chihuahuas in gods designer handbag.

I installed Aurora today. My first immutable experience.

My keyboard from around 2000 is still in use and the only keyboard I ever bought. It looks a little oldschool and beaten up by now, but I type on it every day since like quarter of a century. Probably the best 50€ I ever invested.

Or you start adding half a can of legumes like beans, lentils, chickpeas to your meals. It’s cheap, yummy, healthy superfood for you and your gut. :)

Another music detail:
Shakiras voice on Hips don’t lie is WAY too loud. It might sound okay on headphones, but listen to it on speakers. How did this mix get released?

Being overweight is a natural reaction to an unnatural food environment. Processed foods contain far too much energy and too little fiber (i.e., stuff that fills our stomachs but contains hardly any energy.

Exercise is important for keeping our bodies fit, but it is not the right choice to lose weight. It is much easier not to consume 300 calories in the first place than to burn them off through exercise. Simply eating less does not help either. If your stomach is not full, you are constantly hungry, and no one can keep that up for long. To lose weight in the long term, you need to change your energy intake, i.e., the type of food, not the amount of food. So you have to change your diet, there’s no way around it. Move away from processed stuff and toward whole food, plant-based meals.

“Whole food” means:
Grown from soil, nothing good removed after harvesting and nothing bad added. Over time, your body and your gut flora will get used to it, your cravings for junk food will subside, and you’ll be able to eat your fill of vegetables, fruit, legumes, and nuts every day cheaply, healthily, and with a clear conscience. And you’ll still lose weight.

So: Keep the junk out of the house! Don’t let that crap into your home anymore; if it’s there, you’ll eat it.

I like flac and I understand the human desire to get the best quality of everything. You can’t tell the difference between 25mb flac and 2,5 mb 160 kbps opus though.

I went back from SherpaTTS to eSpeak because I liked the robot woman better. She’s easy to understand, takes up 5 mb on my phone and it’s a fun conversation starter.

Wait, this is not true. At least not in Europe, look it up. Honey bees are not dying, on the contrary. There are too many of them and biodiversity drops around their hives. Save the bees has never been about the honey bee.

Woah, we got a badass over here!
