  • I found reading through the rust book was a nice walkthrough of problems one can hit and how that language elected to solve them.

    In terms of practice:

    • Write a vim config
      • Shell out to python if you’d like
    • Learn a bit of elisp and org-mode
    • Rewrite all your shell scripts into a python CLI
    • Write a pyqt6 GUI for tasks and notes on the exact way you’ve always wanted it to work
    • Write an AI tool to auto-format links etc with phi3
      • Very exciting how much these smaller models can do!






  • They are not taken seriously by law enforcement. They are advertised to be taken seriously.

    It’s awful but that’s the way it is. If your experience working with a victim in your jurisdiction has been a positive one I’m really glad to hear that and I would love to know what things made it work so we’ll.

    In my experience supporting a victim, there’s no ramifications for the perpetrator, no appetite for investigation and no support for the victim outside the private system (the support hotlines are particularly useless).

    Police simply are not there to protect and support victims of personal violence offences.

    You can call bullshit all you want, but this is my lived experience in a western country and I have nothing to gain by being deceptive 🤷.






  • Pick a rolling release distribution with a limited number of opinionated choices. Arch is a good one. Void is another (although far less main stream).

    Ubuntu is very non-modular and highly opinionated, probably avoid that.

    I recommend XFCE over LXDE, it’s probably a better compromise in terms of what you’re looking for.

    So, my advice:

    1. Install endeavourOS (or arch directly if so inclined)
    2. Choose xfce at install time
      • you may install gnome and then xfce over the top of you like
      • you may also like KDE plasma, but try to avoid a mix and match with gnome/xfce and KDE, you’ll find some theming etc will be a nuisance
    3. Keep it up to date.
