Yep, I know what you mean. Take it as a good reason to spend more time reading physical books, playing with your dog, making art, going outside and talking to humans, etc. That’s arguably the real payoff of becoming aware of all this shit.

I would love this as a greeting card.

I think of it like my dad’s generation being able to work on their cars right down to rebuilding the engine, whether out of necessity or purely for the fun of it. Their wives’ attitudes toward those pastimes were pretty similar too.

There’s calcurse. It’s in the arch repos.

There’s been a ton of anarchist thought on economics, post-capitalism, etc, and The Anarchist Library has a great selection. Here are some good places to start, and there’s also a bunch more.

I’m pretty sure every kid in kindergarten knows an easier way to draw a hand.

Back in the day, one of the things JA was famous for was being ear-bleedingly loud in concert, so there’s a certain to hear him complain about the volume.

TBH, I’m surprised to hear these guys still around and touring.

You can do all kinds of stuff with the config file. See here.

Amazing. I was sure they’d try to come up with some bullshit reason to keep holding him. Here’s hoping he’s able to stay.

I mean, fuck, even it is survivable, who wants to actually survive something like that.

World population has more than doubled since 1974, so I bet the president can kill a whole lot more than 70 million people in 25 minutes nowadays. That’s not great given how much stupider and crazier our current president is than even Nixon was.

Thanks man, I needed that today.

Holy shit, how did I make it this far in life without knowing about this add-on?

Believe me I’ve tried.

My kid’s always asking my ex, “Mom, why don’t you just get Jellyfin? It has, like, everything.”

Yeah, I was surprised the article didn’t mention the obvious likelihood that that’s what happened.

Presumably because she’s a decent human being.

Lol, a lot, but not that many. Mostly docker shit filling up /var from containers I’d tried running or run for a while and got bored of. Just needed a good docker prune -a --volumes.

Thanks, but I’m an idiot. I dug around a little and realized I was low on disk space and running a badly outdated version. All good now.

Do some searches on “kiosk” software. That’s the general term of art for machines that are intended to run a single program/interface. As for distros, you’ll want something light and easy to maintain, ideally with automatic updates. Debian’s an obvious pick. Alpine could be great for something like this. Gentoo could be awesome too, but there’s a serious learning curve involved.
