  • Sometimes I get sleepy, but my brain doesn't stop thinking. I listen to storybooks with music to help me sleep. When I try to count sheep, I end up daydreaming. And when I listen to music, I forget about it and start daydreaming again. If the story is super interesting, I stay awake longer. But the most sleepy audiobooks for me are the boring ones or the ones I already know. Today, I'm trying to write my thoughts down, maybe it will help me stop thinking so much and make my head less full!




























  • Alacritty, Tmux, Zsh, Syncthing, Stremio, Fopnu

    The problem is that the more I use a program, the more flaws I find. So, there are a couple I use a lot, but I can't say they are my favorites because of those flaws that I only notice after using them extensively.

    I wish there was a website for finding Linux software with popularity, ratings, categories, recommendations and trending software. Similar to https://pkgstats.archlinux.de or https://www.linux-apps.com

    Ukraine doesn't even allow reporters on the frontline, Russia does. So any information they give you is a lie, because they don't want you to know the truth. You don't even hear the opinions of some leftist politicians like Mick Wallace and Clare Daly in the mainstream news, because they don't want you to form you own opinions, they just want you to hear opinions they agree with.

    You are just brainwashed, propagandized, you think whatever mainstream media wants you to think, you don't have a single independent thought, you don't have any idea of what's going on. The Donbass and Ukraine have been fighting since 2014, and Russia is just helping the side that considers itself Russian anyways.

  • This is similar to an idea I had some time ago but it was too difficult for me to implement. I'm happy to see a similar program being develop. Though using Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, seems too difficult for the average user, with so many interconnected programs. I wish there was a simpler alternative.

    My idea was:

    A program that combines the features of Mediarepo and Fopnu, connected to a metadata database like MusicBrainz. The integration with a metadata database would enable users to automatically curate their file collections and contribute to the database by curating files that haven't been curated yet. This would allow for efficient organization and easy searching of files based on their metadata. Users would also have the ability to create collections and download entire collections instead of searching for individual files.




  • The only question you need to ask to determine practicality is, "What is the return on investment?" We don't mine the seas or asteroids because they wouldn't be worth it. However, as soon as the technology becomes cheap enough, you can bet that there will be investors putting money into extracting resources from those locations. The same principle applies to other planets – if it's profitable, it will be pursued.
