  • I'm waiting to get on the plane back to Nantes. I'm really so excited. As with all times away, I'm thinking about what I want to bring back with me from here. It's a bit too long to write here. Figuring that out was the subject of many cafe journal entries in Athens. And the answer is less definitive but it can all be summed up by saying I'm finally deciding to have the courage to be for the first time in a while

    Thanks for this very complete and detailed and helpful explanation!!! I'm not too afraid of tinkering but I will admit it can put me in a bad mood when I just want to play a game and relax. I'm thinking of maybe keeping selling a small windows partition just in case and hopefully never need to really use it.

    I'm glad to hear that there distro choice is nothing to stress about though. It's a whole universe and I haven't even gotten to the point of looking into which one I'd use

    I didn't even realize that there are distros specifically for gaming! Mind blown! Thanks!

    Thanks for this! I'll have a look through! It's unfortunate that you can't connect your library and see a report. But native someone has made that or of the have an API I could do a quick script

    Thanks! I'll consider Kubuntu then! Bit glad to hear most are working out. In not sure I even have any rockstar games in my library so I think I'm good on that front.

    Why do people like arch? Or why would I want it? From what I can tell, from a quick search, it's complicated to set up but I couldn't see a clear benefit from it over other distros

    It even makes me think of the first example I was given of this idea: normal telephones. For the longest time, Amish communities wouldn't have them. They believed that though they allowed people to communicate through long distances, it also allowed or caused then to move away from their communities. However over time, they accept one for the town Bernays they do see how being able to quickly communicate can, for example, save lives in the case of calling 911

  • Slept horribly last night. Restless leg syndrome and mosquito bites are a bad enough combination. By then racing thoughts and the air condition being erratic took it to another level and I feel like shit today.

  • Part two of this journal thought experiment about an idea I've stolen from the Amish: that technology can help but it can also distance us from ourselves and those that are important.

    What would you add to the list?

    (Note: I'm not saying never do technology. But I think it's good to constantly reflect on what is this thing giving me and what is it taking.)

  • Hello all. I'm warning up very bigly to changing to Linux for my personal computer. One of the reasons I've held out is for gaming though my Steam Deck has convinced me that this is probably a nonissue. Is there anything I should know about game compatibility? Any tips for a tearless migration?

  • This is my last weekend in Athens and I have no big plans. Well, other than spend time with the friends I've made while I'm here. (Because that's what it's really about, right?)
    That being said, the well needed break from Nantes has become excitement to go back, to see those I've been missing, to start new projects, to meet new people, to continue building my life and attempting to live the revolution today, in my own little way.

  • I recently switched from Tusky to Fedilab and I'm quite satisfied. I was getting a bit but frustrated with the way Tusky handles its timelines. While infinite scroll is the devil (for us and the environment!), it's more intuitive. That and the fact I will potentially have a Peer Tube and pleorama account in the near future makes it a good choice for me. Would be cool if one day it could do BookWyrm and Loops

How I'm Spending My Free Time

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

Cover of House of Leaves

A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Total playtime in the last two weeks

7.47 hours
