From time to time I write about online privacy and open source, but more often I translate articles about online privacy and open source, and here's where you can find it:

Have you ever found it strange that Jesus was the son of a carpenter from a region where there were almost no trees suitable for such a craft, yet in his parables and sermons, for some reason, he spoke not of wood, but of stones and foundations?

I think I've finally broken the recommendation system, and now my internet world is filled only with Abrahamic religions and red calves. Why? Because the last days are coming!

The 20/20 Experience is the album that changed my attitude toward vinyl. I prefer CDs, but one day, a local music store was giving away this record on VK., and I realized I really wanted it.

I'm a simple man: I follow everyone who has connected their Threads profile to Fediverse, from all my accounts, and I unfollow those who just repost photos and videos from Instagram.

It's a little strange that despondency is a mortal sin, because you don't choose despondency. Today I realized that, by giving in to despondency, you allow yourself something else, "little joys" that will restore your desire to live. And usually it's the rest things on this list.

Today I founded out that there are curly mice, and they're really cute. If only the Internet were always this nice!

You should become the one you once needed: if no one helped you when you needed it, now no one will help others. Only you.

It doesn't matter what you believe. When world leaders are doing everything they can to fulfill ancient end-time prophecies, step by step, you should have questions. And that's exactly what they're doing right now.

I'm where I'm supposed to be.

Repeat this when things are going wrong. If you're where you're supposed to be, everything is going exactly as it should. The plan can't end in failure. Everything will be alright in the end. If things aren't alright, then it's not the end yet.

Elizabeth Holmes is the perfect example of the "zoomers invented" meme. Her story began with her "inventing" a smart patch that analyzed your body and injected vitamins.

She isn't an inventor; she's a patent troll who began selling technologies that never existed.

I watch trail runners' stories and get irresistible urge to run on forest trails maybe in April or May. Not in September or October, not on asphalt.

If there's even one problematic repository, you can't update your Linux system, but you can add the problematic package to the exceptions list, update the system and then remove it:

sudo apt-mark hold vivaldi-stable && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt-mark unhold vivaldi-stable

I realized that sometimes my empathy just switches off. It's as if there are emotions I don't understand. What if I feel nothing in other situations too? What if I've convinced myself that I need to show specific emotions in specific situations, and then I've gotten used to it?

Is there a reliable and well-known browser extension that would show the current DNS/DoH? Not the DNS and IP of the open website, but specifically my DNS and DoH settings. I'm getting a bit tired of manually checking this.

Hey, @ElonMusk
What is your position on Nitter, XCancel and other third party publication aggregators?

[Sam Izby @NotDeveloper]

No one knows about that day or hour. By naming specific dates, you undermine faith of those whose faith is weak yet. Without your intervention, they would have a chance to strengthen their convictions, but by promising things that never come true, you're taking that chance away.

Did you know that xinput can work not only with device IDs but also with human-readable names? Why is this important? Because the number may change, but the name remains the same, and the xinput command can be added to startup or saved as a .desktop shortcut.

If it seems to you that I've been going totally mad over the past few months, I'll just remind you that world religions were a part of my initial scientific specialization, before our department was closed and I had to write a dissertation not on eschatology, but on propaganda.
