  • Imo the most important thing is the separation of what you do. If you’re logged in on facebook, you can do that from your public ip. Anything you’re not associated with your name you want to use a diffferent browser identity and maybe a different ip.

    If you use Torrents or do anything illegal or whistleblowing or similar stuff, use a live linux iso with no persistence and a vpn bought with monero.

    phew long answer. I wouldn’t call Gentoo unstable. I was rather interested in why it’s supposedly more stable then Fedora.

    I just wrote from my limited experience. I never had something break on Fedora. I just updated a system from 35 to 41. The stuff that broke was something I compiled against old dependencies. (That’s why I didn’t update so long)

    My Gentoo experience is >15y old. I had numerous incompatibilities, because I used the tools the system gave me. But sure that’s on me if I cutomize my system with USE flags. And it’s probably better now.

    IDK. Gentoo is considered stable, but fedora “leaning unstable”?

    Anyway what is that whole un/stable supposed to mean anyway? All non-rolling distros try to be stable. What can break are third party repos and stuff you compiled yourself. With fedora that can “break” twice a year. With a rolling distro that can “break” on every updates


  • So grandpa had a computer problem. Turns out he installed one of the early locker trojans. He: “It’s all my own fault.” Family: “no grandpa, that were some ugly hackers”. So i removed the virus and checked the computer. Turns out it was his fault. He tried to watch “russian removed porn” and installed the virus in that process. He was like 85 and needed help washing himself. So IDK what his intentions were… The worst part: I had to keep a straight face and confirm the “hackers” therory. That secret will die with me. And now you.


  • I never understood why Fermi should be a paradox.

    Space is mind-bogglingly big. Insanely huge. And almost everything is empty. Primitive life (bacteria, fungus,…) might evolve on every other planet, but even mammal like life is probably not that common. Maybe 1 in 10k solar systems has them?

    And now my sad hypothesis: FTL drives are simply not possible.

    Also, did I mention space is huge? Sending radio signals to a planet 10k ly away is very non trivial. Unless they point a huge dish exactly at us and we point a huce dish exactly to them, we won’t hear each other.

    The idea that extraterrestials will watch our TV in 100k years is absurd. (Sorry Lrrrr)
