  • I have felt the same for a while. I have had to heavily rethink my relationship with standup comedy, because I think it can be such a powerful medium, but as I’ve gotten older, I recognize that comedy can reflect much of the bigotry and hatreds of their time.

    It’s obviously more nuanced than that, as comedy can also reflect joys, insights, and the general societal consciousness of the time.

    With that said there are still a few stand up comedy that I can say I don’t feel bad laughing at these days. So here’s a short list that if you’re so inclined, I’d take a look at:

    • Tig Notaro
    • Benny Feldman
    • Noam Shuster
    • Hannah Gadsby
    • Maria Bamford

    I’d elaborate on each of them a bit, but I’d rather simply let their comedy speak for themselves.

    EDIT: typo, wording


  • Most of the Anubis encounters I have are to redlib instances that are shuffled around, go down all the time, and generally are more ephemeral than other sites. Because I use another extension called Libredirect to shuffle which redlib instance I visit when clicking on a reddit link, I don’t bother whitelisting them permanently.

    I already have solved this on my desktop by self hosting my own redlib instance via localhost and using libredirect to just point there, but on my phone I still do the whole nojs temp unblock random redlib instance. Eventually I plan on using wireguard to host a private redlib instance on a vps so I can just not deal with this.

    This is a weird case I know, but its honestly not that bad.








  • Yes, also fair enough. Alpine as well.

    So let’s see. This adds us up to:

    Arch, Debian, Alpine, Slackware, Opensuse, Gentoo, Void, Fedora/Redhat, Nix.

    And yeah I’ve used docker with Alpine before. I think i used ot as a base to setup redis, postgresql, and some other service a while back. I’m not hating on any distro, just very forgetful of even what I read 15 sec ago.

    There are only five distros. Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora/Red Hat, and Void. Pretty much all others are just Arch or Debian with preinstalled desktop environments, theming on top of said environments, and preinstalled packages depending on the intended use case.

    Not a knock nor a praise, just a truth.




  • Until you have a distro that has the “Please wait while we update your system, do not turn off your computer”, and “something went wrong, please contact” screens and actual customer support, Linux won’t be ready for prime time with the majority of users.

    The majority of computer and phone users are used to their asses being wiped and their bottle being fed to them.

    And as soon as daddy Cook, daddy Nadella, or daddy Pichai started shoving piss poor UI, exorbitant prices, invasive advertisements, and extreme privacy invasions far up their anus, they start to complain.

    But lo and fucking behold, all you have to do to get them to stick some lube up there and beg for more is show them a Linux shell. What a fucking surprise.


  • I’ve dome Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga. Hatha is the most accessible, though there’s a huge range in quality and difficulty in classes and it depends on the instructor.

    Don’t bother with Ashtanga unless you’re very fit and flexible. I’ve never done Bikram/Hot Yoga, but check it out if it interests you (I’d personally try Hatha first).

    Anyways, imho, yes, Yoga is worth it, but it obviously isn’t for everyone. Most classes I’ve been to have a meditative and mild spiritual aspect to it while building balance, moderate strength, and of course, flexibility.

    I’ve always been an active person in various disciplines in the past including bicycling, running, strength training, calisthenics, and court sports. Yoga has always been a nice experience in the way it incorporates meditation with movement and stretch, and it complements many other disciplines nicely.
