Material Files for me. It feels like KDE’s Dolphin if it had an android port.

But actually it is probably “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom.

Its about someone who learns important life lessions from an old man who is dying from ALS.

This is/was a thing with the Grapple. NileRed made a video on it on their NileBlue channel.

I would say it was alright. I may not have had many friends, but that extra time I had allowed me to get into programming with JavaScript and Python.

That’s pretty cool. I wonder if some devs will use this in conjunction to the “Betas” system and have separate versions there that support mods for older versions.

I definitely did not accidentally break my ArchLinux (BTW) install for some time because I failed to read the wiki entry for grub when switching from systemd-boot.

Totally didn’t happen.

TLDR: Distro hopping

The thing I am proud I achieved last year (2025) is distro hopping from a Arco/ArchLinux bloated mess of an install to EndeavourOS.

Prior to it, I had files from all kinds of installs: Manjaro, ArcoLinux #1, Arco #2, then Arch after Arco went EOL. It was a mess, and a lot of bloat eating up disk space.

So, I took some time to backup everything, install EndeavourOS, then over the course of a few days, restore the essentials. I only copied over the data I knew I would use. Additionally, while I copied my documents, pictures, etc, I left my downloads folder empty so I can have a fresh start.

This method allowed me to cut a lot of fat from my system, and now my drive is only 2/3 as full now, and it boots way faster.

Setting up a fresh install is always the most fun and most painful part of Linux for me. It was fun as I had a clean slate to work with, and even changed up my desktop layout this time around. The pain arose from having to reinstall all the software I needed, setting them up (some configs I couldn’t copy over), setting up servers again, SSH, firewall, etc. The sheer amount of stuff to do was daunting to say the least.

Overall, though, I did enjoy this transition I made and it allowed me to tidy up my computer.

Edit: grammar

For ZSH, I have a script that automatically installs oh-my-zsh and a bunch of zsh plugins, and changes my default shell to ZSH.

For everything else, some files will just get copied over, others left behind. I only “manage” them when I need to view/edit them.

Saving doesn’t really inconvenience me as I dont want anything. I need to pay bills and other expenses, but there’s nothing that I want that I dont already have.

Go in the room, smash the lightbulb. There, now it’s none of the switches.

I think I’ll pass this interview no problem.

Edit: Damn, someone beat me to it. I posted without reading the comments as instructed.

Do you know what version you updated from?

I like it because it is pretty much the Lemmy successor to Apollo for Reddit.

Was this a fresh install?

Unix porn, Arch Linux installs, problems with my system, complaining about systemd for no reason, and Linux memes.

Basically c/linuxmemes and c/unixporn but on Instagram.

Maybe 20 will be a better year than 20, and people will start shorting it to 20 instead of 20. /j

• Painted ledges for climbing
• Compass in open world games
• Crafting
• punching trees/gathering twigs to creste basic tools. (Seriously, so many survival games start like this)
• random stealth section for no reason, and it you get caught it’s game over.
• Title that the first 2 words start with A and C.
• Title that usually has some variant of “Remaster”, “GOTY”, or “Next-Gen”
• For card games, mana system because so many card games have this for some reason.
• party members who usually use inefficient moves against an enemy.
• hunger system where you need to eat 3 whole turkeys to get your hunger back up to 100% after losing 75% from sleeping 5 hours.
• Day/night cycle with sleep that just drains your hunger/thirst stat, but raises your HP to max.

I could go on, but this list is long enough. Ironically, only 1 thing on this list relates to card games.

For every UI app that runs commands in the background, Instead of a “Doing XYZ. Please Wait”, I want the logs of the commands being run. Not just the commands themselves, but their verbose outputs too. I want it ALL on display.

I want to know what the software I am using is doing to my computer. I dont want black box software on my PC.

KISS — “Keep It Simple, Stupid”

Even when there’s more complex software with way more features, I’ll keep using the simple shit that works for me.

For example, I’m sure firewalld is great, with more features than something like ufw (maybe more secure?). But, the amount of work to add a single allow exception across the local network is more work than a single command equivalent in ufw. So, I would rather stick to the primitive approach of ufw.

Its another reason why I dont mess with stuff like tiling window managers, NixOS, and certain CLI apps that have GUI frontends. Just keeping it simple, even when it causes issues, simplifies things for me, leading to less manual upkeep from my end.

For articles, I dont read the post body/article*, but I will read the comments then comment (which is already rare)

For all other posts, I do read the post body + the comments.

*If the article seems interesting, I’ll read it. Usually though I dont.
