It works for Linux basics (or reading through hundreds of logs), but I avoid any terminal command if it isn't clear what it does.

I’d say so.

You just gotta know 2,3 things. Have snapshots via snapper, only update on weekends and preferably through cachy-update, and the Arch wiki probably has the answer.

I killed my install twice, and in both cases I was the problem. Oh, and AI. Don’t trust ChatGPT.

I don’t know what’s going on lately, but networks have started changing their algorithms in weird fucking ways.

YouTube used to be really good at showing stuff I cared about.

Now it’s: β€œOh, you watched one video of that one game? Here are all videos in existence and nothing but that!!!”

If you read the overkill digest (examples: overkill.wtf/tag/mailing/), which part do you actually prefer?

My commentary or the curated links?

Trying to decide if I should lean more into the writing or the link sharing.

Nexus Mods’ Vortex is coming to Linux (SteamOS) after all.
