  • Back in the day, when the government of Japan banned samurai schools, and prohibited so many dangerous weapons, the samurai got angry and revolted.

    Those samurais, on the other hand, who worked closely with the government or had willingness (or had leverage by working with them), created their own “spiritual” schools, teaching aikido, kendo, and practices of spirituality, peace, and finding one’s own path in life.

    But now Japan thrives ever so lively. And yet, the government now carries all that stigma after the ages of samurais had passed; and for good reasons, because they do oppress people and judge them unjustly in courts.

    Perhaps the sword may have not been the answer, but it is certainly not the solution either to dismantle all, including the good and the bad, for there are the protectors of peace- the sword carriers, and those whom carry weapons and guns are no different.

    And there are those who are irresponsible and neglectful, and would drive opposition the opportunity for justifying radical changes. Then that radical change would be justified. Including the dismantling of weapons and their schools of thought.

    So is the case that had led to this women’s unfortunate circumstance.

    However, I will still carry the sword to death with me.





  • Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:

    • Smart screen

      • With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
      • With GPS features, and media access
    • But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.

    I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it’s a shame that it still costs practically the same.

    Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.









  • Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insights. Your perspective adds depth to the discussion, and I find your analysis intriguing. It has given me valuable insights.

    And it’s great that we align on this matter. I value the exchange of ideas, and it’s reassuring to find common ground in our views.

    Who knows what new understandings we might uncover in the future ?

    When I read the news I had conflicting emotions of pity but also understanding for his behaviour, in a manner of speaking (hence my initial comment, and my stance in disbelief). “What if he’s only a single piece of pieces that are being moved around by various factors ?”, including his environment. For instance, if his post immediate environment is presenting a supportive attitude towards ALL Palestinians, that could actually be wrongly perceived.

    Exuding highly reactive aggressive behaviour is often correlated with high levels of neuroticism and emotional factors at play, from my understanding.

    Here is an interesting excerpt from psychologist expert, Arlin Cunic, “A smaller-scale study found that after viewing unpleasant images, people rating higher in neuroticism had lower oxygen levels in their lateral prefrontal cortex than those with lower neuroticism ratings…”, https://www.verywellmind.com/how-neuroticism-affects-your-behavior-4782188

    I have come across these concepts before from documentaries and vast inputs, but your insights has driven me to do a brief research about it; specifically about neuroticism. Quite fascinating.

    It is indeed of most import to address these complex cases, without having to leave them at the wits of those who prefer idleness.



  • Absolutely!

    I started with mint. Hated it.

    Ubuntu, Pop_Os. Hated it.

    Fedora. Hated it.

    Archlinux, okay, but not so much.

    Manjaroo, hated it.

    And now I settled with Garuda and Nobara. Like them.

    I used Nobara for niche gaming (rarely use it now).

    And Garuda Linux for dev work, and downloading and installing stuff, including proprietary packages. And I don’t have to configure all the things to make it capable of allowing me to download stuff from all the nice mirrors, such as the community arch mirror.

    Nobara, on the other hand, is great at handling compatibility issues kinda out of the box. Such [Edit1: as GPU] drivers.

    The reason I disliked the aforementioned distros was solely because of how much involved I had to be to configure them to integrate with my rare WiFi chip drivers, which triggered me when I banged my head at the keyboard for hours only to find out that my WiFi driver was not supported.

    But Garuda and Nobara or a blessing, and a chef’s kiss.

    That’s coming from a person who tried more than 20+ distros and/or their derivatives.

    [Edit2:] All in all, I would recommend what the comment above suggested, as that will help you find your own path. The samurai path, the kenjutsu path, or the kendo path, the peaceful path, or the hackers path. ;)

    [Edit3: sorry Debian users, but I DID try your distros, I just didn’t want to bother with them much as they had compatibility issues too !]


  • There are teachings I have read/ discovered through YouTube (can’t remember exactly where) about the reasons and the philosophy behind moving to docker, or having it as a state machine.

    Have you considered looking into dockers alternatives, also ?

    Here is 1 of the sources that may give you insights:

    https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/docker-alternatives/

    – There has been some concerns over docker’s licensing and, as such, some people have started preferring solutions such as podman and containerd.

    Both are good in terms of compatibility and usability, however I have not used them extensively.

    Nonetheless, I am currently using docker for my own hyperserver [Edit2: oops, I meant hypervisor ✓, not hyperserver] purposes. And I am also a little concerned about the future of docker, and would consider changing sometime in the future.

    [Edit1: I am using docker because it is easy to make custom machines, with all files configurations, and deploy them that way. It is a time saver. But performance wise, I would not recommend it for major machines that contain major machine processes and services. And that’s just the gist of it].


  • It seems to me that he’s getting the perception that the status quo now normalizes with the things that Hamas has done, in light of the Palestinian protesters around the world.

    I would not comment on this, however, as I am not legible enough to know whether his characteristics are of psychiatric disorders or high levels of neuroticism. I cannot fully judge this person, as I am not to claim that I was present in his environment where this happened. [Edit: (see next posts in the comments, as I have arrived at a different conclusion)]

    I can tell, however, he may be triggered, but he’s not the triggerman.

    And yes, put that man in a ward or with a therapist.
