  • I still made the mistake, when I sleep deprived switched if and of somehow
    My then girlfriend wasn’t exactly happy, that all here photos and music, which we just moved off old CDs, that couldn’t be read correctly anymore, and I spent quite some time to finally move them

    Obviously the old CDs and the backup image were thrown out/deleted just a few days earlier, because I proudly had saved the bulk of it - and being poor students having loads of storage for multiple backups wasn’t in reach.
    Backing them up again to fresh CDs was on the plan, but I quickly needed a live USB stick to restore my work laptop…

    Since then I’m always anxious, when working with dd. Still years later I triple check and already think through my backup restoration plan
    Which is a good thing in itself, but my heart rate spikes can’t be healthy





  • Holy fuck is business insider unreadable - without blocking their shitty scroll-up popup thingy

    Currently I just switch to text mode/reader thing in Firefox

    But boah, is that thing nerve-wracking
    How could anyone think, that this bullshit would lead me to buy a subscription?

    Sorry for the off-topic rant, but that shit really hits a nerve
    Is my good old internet really gone to shit and the only way to get real information is through Gemini/Gopher?
    And while I’m on it: are there any search engines for that?
    I tried to build up some link lists/bookmarks for stuff I’m interested, but would be really cool to have a search engine for it - as there one existing I don’t know about, or do I use it wrong?



  • Thanks for the PDF!

    In Europe the pirate has worked out a technical system, where you can introduce new ideas to a problem and people together construct and vote for a solution - forming a consensus.

    I’d really like to get rid of political parties altogether, form a slim state, that needs to put into place what was worked out in a basic democratic act by the people - in exactly such a system.

    But looking at how people are so easily following just populistic, simple “solutions” and don’t care for the details, I’ve really lost trust in the general public.

    I’ve always said, that this is an educational problem, because if people want to govern themselves, they need to be educated on the topics and not just follow some hype - else we would easily land in some idiocracy.

    The idea is, that the broader the power is scattered, the more stable the system is.
    And the system must reflect the society and not the system dictate how society functions.

    But it seems currently every one wants just to suck big daddy’s cock and be grateful for a wannabe strongman…







  • Thanks

    I’ve pretty much left everything - couldn’t even pay myself an income anymore, because I just carry for him (in the first 2 months I was cooking every 2 hours for him, and then I’ll to 4 different things, so he would eat anything)

    I love him with my whole heart and pretty much nothing, but other love/wife, is important to me.

    So yeah, we keep fighting. But at the moment we are out of ideas and options, and just can wait…
