The difference between an IT person and a tech enthusiast

His redemption arc has been pretty good

Yeah, I think I got it wrong, I thought about /usr, but it can be setup on a separate FS as well.

I believe that the only FS that absolutely need to be on the root partition are /etc and /var. The rest can be anywhere else with various degrees of tinkering. For /home to be moved, you should just need to edit your fstab (or your systemd mounts, depending on your distro).

Liberal as in economically liberal

As legal as promoting beans and pillows!

I really love all the 5+ years old articles about why systemd sucks.
It’s not perfect but it’s so much better than the plethora of different init methods Linux used to have. Also managing sysv init scripts sucked really bad.
It’s lightweight, most of it is optional, it’s declarative, it makes managing your systems much easier and it just works.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

I didn’t even start talking about that, but yeah, at least to me, form is paramount over weight/complexity. At least until you have a strong enough foundation. Then you can take some liberty to strengthen in unusual moves.

Mobility and range of motion are also something to work on, it makes many things easier to do in your daily life.
But that’s something for another long post I guess !

Being sore doesn’t mean that muscle is being built, that’s a misconception, it’s actually muscle being damaged.

Soreness is micro-lesions in your muscles, and what builds them stronger is actually the rest following a workout. Because that’s when the body goes around to repair these lesions and builds stronger bonds within the muscle.

What builds muscle is resistance, nutrition and rest, the latter two being the most important.

You can’t build muscle if you don’t feed them right and give them time to recover.

So, killing yourself at the gym 3/4 days in a row, focusing on the same muscle group is actually really counterproductive.
Rotate your training focus with a split like push/pull/legs/core, or upper body/lower body/cardio, or whatever, as long as you enjoy it.

Give yourself time, eat right (as right as you can, don’t fall into the rice/chicken at every meal madness, balance is key), sleep a lot, take some rest days and deload weeks once in a while, and drink plenty of water.

And most importantly, be kind with yourself, it’s a marathon, not a sprint, you might struggle going to the gym some days, but showing up and doing less is better than not doing it at all.

Maybe a bit would be nice, but I don’t want it to grow as big as Reddit got.

The worst thing for me when I got diagnosed was the realisation of how much of me is just ADHD/ASD. I’m very high masking according to my doctor, and now I understand why I often feel completely drained of energy. It’s pretty mad…

If you feel like you have ADHD, getting diagnosed is absolutely worth it. Even though it will probably wreck your perception of yourself, everything will probably make sense in hindsight. It’s very strange yet liberating.

Obviously, but the intent is important.

Culture is meant to be shared, as long as you’re respectful and you’re not caricaturing or mocking the culture you’re trying to portray, most people from said culture would be flattered.

It’s interesting to have closed source for some use cases, (sensitive or top secrets programs for instance) but open source should definitely be the default rather than the exception in my opinion.

Well, that vastly depends on the license it’s under but yeah, that’s the gist of it !

It means that you only have access to the compiled binaries of the program (the files on your system) and not to the source code.
Which means that you cannot see why and how the program functions the way it does. You can try and reverse engineer it or decompile it, but it will be different from the original code. As you stated, you can’t fork it either because you don’t have access to the original source control.

Looks like The Exorcist

Definitely a dead man switch, and several letters from me and my psychiatrist specifying that I’m not suicidal.

Because in fine, it’s the companies and lobbies that bribe them. You can have ethical politicians, but there are hardly any ethical CEOs/board members.
