I’ve been using Debian for about 25 years. Sure, stable is pretty slow to update, but I don’t know why anyone would use that unless it’s some production server. I’ve never had an issue with outdated packages because testing/unstable is pretty close to any other rolling release.

I don’t remember ever having to mess with PPA with Debian. That was all Ubuntu crap, unless I’m mistaken, which happens a lot. I mean, you could add a PPA, but I never saw a reason.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Well that’s annoying. Sorry, I did a search and that popped up and let me watch without logging in. VPN maybe?

I prefer the simple classics:

Here’s the link for anyone who cares.

Yep, most reporting from inside Iran puts the number killed as significantly higher than that.

I was looking for a mention of The Powder Mage. I’ve recommended that series to a handful of friends and they’ve all really enjoyed it. A rare 100% approval response.

I read the first book because I’d heard praise for it. It was either during that one, or the next book what I thought:

• orphan
• gifted magician
• professor who hates him
• professor who likes him
• male friend
• female friend
• and some others that I can recall after so many years

…fucking hell. I’m reading a retelling of fucking Harry Potter!

Factually, sure, but emotionally, not even close.

That’s over a few years time. Maybe a little more aggressive than average.

I’m still not used to listening to this administration’s way, way, way over-the-top bloviating like they’re China or North Korea. Fucking hell I wish I’d been born/raised somewhere better.
