I know that Linux distros stopped observing the KISS principle long ago, and systemd is one of the best examples of this loss of direction. In my book, both SELinux…
Where can I place a bet on the way this war ends?
It might be the Third World War. Or not. It might lead to a new Great Depression. Or not. Iran might be destroyed in four weeks. Or maybe Israel will…
No luck, plenty of fun, and you’ll definitely die! (You, not them.)
I don’t do film reviews. Here’s a film review. Sorta. A 5-bit one. (I know, it’s “You, nor they,” but nobody observes grammar rules in English. And you won’t understand…
