The Ongoing Cyberwar Nobody Talks About
No, this is not about the overall increase in malware and ransomware attacks we're witnessing on in recent years. It's about something that I believe has happened in the last…
Hating Wes Anderson with gusto
Wes Anderson is likely to be a genius, which is probably why I hate him so much. Or maybe The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) is what made me a h8r:…
Adventures in Linux Ep. 8: Lubuntu, Fedora 35, and more
I procrastinate a lot (good to know I'm a pro at something), but after a couple of weeks of pondering, here I am, trying to recall and report my recent…
Trying to understand the bullshit
It's not a secret that I'm strongly against Bitcoin (I even believe cryptocurrencies at large are one of the major evils of this century), and I even disapprove of the…
COVID-19 Report #27: Tot în România
Ca și în cazul postării precedente, nu aș fi vrut să mai scriu despre românii tâmpiți, căci sunt sătul de proștii de pretutindeni. Dar zilele trecute m-am enervat pe neamul…
COVID-19 Report #26: The Covidiots are still strong
Writing again about COVID-19 was the last thing I wanted to do, but the widespread stupidity regarding the matter made me do it, being it only succinctly (or I hope…
Instead of a smartwatch
Some people use their smartphone to check the time. Other people use smart Apple/Samsung/Huawei watches. I preferred to spend about €109 on an automatic Orient TriStar RA-AB0020S19B. 18 days later,…
Do they want me to stop using computers altogether?
In the long run, we're all dead. Meanwhile, can we still enjoy life and computers, or should we bend to the new religions, including the containerization of everything? Containers might…
Biserica, românul, vaccinul: sutana sub care s-a ascuns diavolul
Cele mai recente două postări, întâmplările ulterioare, precum și unele reacții, nu m-au convins că românii ar fi altceva decât o specie modernă de pitecantropi, dar mi-am zis să mai…
Referendum: un fiasco al TVR
Am aflat întâmplător despre noua idee (proastă) a TVR1: noua emisiune REFERENDUM, cu prima ediție pe 11 octombrie, difuzată simultan pe TVR1, TVR Internațional și TVR Moldova, precum și pe…
Românii vs. COVID-19: note de front inutile
Timpul ne arată că imbecilitatea semenilor noștri este nemărginită și se auto-depășește ori, cum s-ar fi spus în alte vremuri, a atins noi și noi culmi de progres și civilizație.…
SPECIAL: You Don’t Even Know How Terrible Your Linux Distro Is!
Long time no see, so I'm going to synthesize here the experiences and the epiphanies I had with Linux in the last couple of months. You should be at least…
Evil Twitter, Stupid Twitter
Once again, they restricted my (sporadic) use of Twitter. This time, their automatic snowflake protection mechanism reacted the very millisecond I posted the tweet. The recipient? A product of a…
The extra information meant he didn’t know she didn’t know…
Alex Bellos's Monday puzzle in The Guardian online is something I once used to follow for a while, until the entire thing pissed me off too much. He's no such…
I just discovered a really smart ordinary guy… on Amazon!
Not that there weren't any other intelligent people with a wide range of interests among the on this planet, but most such individuals are anonymous, unknown outside a small circle.…
România, plaiul legilor din pix (sau din pixeli)
Iar trebuie să fac ceva ce nu mai voiam a face, anume să scriu ceva în limba strămoșească, inteligibil doar pentru bizonul național. Ce să fac, blestemul de a mă…
We Want COVID! (Re-Updated)
I had to interrupt whatever I was doing studying something else, to express my anger against the stupidity of my fellow Europeans. THEY DO WANT COVID! They really cannot live…
Status mundi in tempore coronavirus
Fututi sumus atque nec ignoramus. I mean, we're fucked up, and we very well know it, but is it there still hope? I'm struggling to find the light at the…
I revealed a state secret about Jack Fartsey!
In the USSR, a joke ran as follows: a man returns after having disappeared for 15 years. “I was in jail for calling Stalin an idiot,” he says. “That's a…
Ce este azi România? O hazna, un exemplu tragic de retard mental absolut
O postare în română, într-o zi în care am fost debordat de idioțenia conaționalilor mei. Întreaga planetă este într-o degringoladă majoră, toți retardații Pământului fie sunt în stradă urlând aberații,…
