Just started reading I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. I never watched iCarly or anything else she’s been in, but I have heard of her story before. Seems like a good book if you are interested in abusive parents and unhealthy family dynamics.

Years ago I tried running Debian on my desktop computer and it became very quickly apparent it was not suited to my needs because of the out-of-date software. These days I only really consider rolling release distros for my desktop, or at least something with a fairly snappy release schedule. If I went for Debian, I’d probably run sid or testing.
Now, in situations where the bleeding edge is not necessary, Debian is fantastic. I’ve run it on my laptop, Raspberry Pi server and PinePhone. On the laptop, having a solid base that doesn’t break if I don’t use it for a while was great, since I didn’t use that laptop often. I did use flatpaks for some applications that I really wanted to be more recent and it worked nicely. So yes, you can use Debian as a solid base and use Flatpaks/Appimages/other to run apps you really need the newest version of, where available of course.

Dracula by Bram Stoker. Never read it before. I did see the 1992 movie adaptation, but that was a long time ago.
God, I hate that meme format so much. It adds absolutely fucking nothing. It’s insufferable.
Off the top of my head some shorter books:
Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol, Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis, Post Office by Charles Bukowski, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev, Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie, The Hammer of God by Arthur C. Clarke.
Dave Grohl’s speech at Lemmy Kilmister’s funeral is beautiful though.
The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis. I’m liking it a lot so far. It’s undeniably Ellis, but he also feels more open and honest this time around. Maybe he’s getting old and more comfortable in his own skin.
The interface is a bit bare bones and 90’s but I like it that way. It’s a good and reliable client.
I’m reading a book on grief. Grief has been an important part of my life for a good long time now, but last year has been difficult. And things will only get worse in the next few years. I suppose I’m bracing myself, even if I know it doesn’t help much.

I’d be perfectly fine if everything was just mixed mono. I see little value in stereo. I’m weird like that.
Can’t help you there, I buy CDs and lossless copies from Bandcamp and Qobuz. Those work for me.
I really should read that one. I’ve been a fan of Poe’s Haunted for a long time.
I’m reading Universal Harvester by John Darnielle. I think I like it, but how much probably depends on how the writer is able to bring it all together in the end. I do like the somewhat unconventional structure though, and the book is very atmospheric. It feels like it’s more focused on painting pictures of a time and place than strictly telling a story, or something, I’m not good at describing it.
I’m sorry, but that’s private.
“Install Gentoo” is a meme, not life advice. With Gentoo, the installation process gives you good insight in to the internals of Linux systems and compiling (almost) everything from source is interesting, but won’t produce noticeable benefits for average users. Especially since updates take some time, what with compiling the programs again. Gentoo is a great distro with a fantastic package manager, but unless you’re an enthusiast or a serious hobbyist, Don’t Install Gentoo.
The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.
