  • Systemd is controlled by redhat and is a very large part of the Linux stack. It’s become so universal that a lot random stuff won’t work unless the system has systemd.

    Compared to X11 to wayland or pulseaudio to pipewire it’s a lot hard to now replace an init system and with that in the hands of redhat which is for profit is not a nice thought.

    But you know, fuck it, having systemd is a massive headache for people making distros that’s just gone. Everyone is using the same thing and things just work so people aren’t really complaining. If redhat tries some shenanigans there’ll always be a fork or a systemd compatible init system or even whatever Alpine is using now that’ll take it’s place.











  • KDE Neon, with Icons-Only task manager and global menu in a top bar. I have shortcuts for moving between activities and custom one for “show in all/show only in current activity” with a KWin script. Window rules for everything to open in the correct activity. Neon is not super stable but it’s nice and fun to get the latest KDE stuff.

    IDE is Neovim and Rider (Jetbrains)

    Neovim config is kickstart.nvim + autosave, noice-ui, commentary, luasnip and harpoon.

    Rider has Nyan progress bar, key promoter X, Ideavim and gittoolbox. I want to move to Neovim but debugger experience is very good in Rider. ctrl+p and alt+tab, Navigation is a bit too slow for me.

    Also bash, it’s big part of my development environment since I really like using the terminal and making alias and functions for everything. I have “clipboard filepath - > js code generator - > clipboard” stuff for example and it’s nice to just type gen -ts to convert C# class to TS interface ready to paste. Play/pause media with p, navigate to project and start it name [all, start, cs]. ref to fuzzy find a git branch and switch to it. Log how many hours I worked with logtime etc. I hate bash as a language but as a tool to interact with the computer I love deeply because you can automate a stupid amount of stuff.

    Also, no mouse, just trackpad for when I’m forced to use it which is not that often even though I’m in webdev (vimium plugin for browsers MVP there).








  • It’s a commodity that’s widely used as a way to keep the value of a portfolio in case of inflation. Gold has a lot of utility but recently because of uncertainty about the US dollar central banks have been stocking up on gold.

    Complete societal collapse is very unlikely and we have studied economics enough to the point where hyperinflation is avoidable.

    For investors keeping some gold (10-20% of portfolio) can be very nice since it allows you to buy the dip and is inflation proof. On the other hand, gold can become a speculative asset so it’s value can be inflated just like any other commodity. So in a way currently it’s either a nice tool or a bubble (or scam as you call it).

    Silver, used in solar panels, is also pretty good for same reasons.
