I have to, cuz Gentoo. Keeps the home nice and toasty while I sleep.

I have felt the same for a while. I have had to heavily rethink my relationship with standup comedy, because I think it can be such a powerful medium, but as I’ve gotten older, I recognize that comedy can reflect much of the bigotry and hatreds of their time.

It’s obviously more nuanced than that, as comedy can also reflect joys, insights, and the general societal consciousness of the time.

With that said there are still a few stand up comedy that I can say I don’t feel bad laughing at these days. So here’s a short list that if you’re so inclined, I’d take a look at:

• Tig Notaro
• Benny Feldman
• Noam Shuster
• Hannah Gadsby
• Maria Bamford

I’d elaborate on each of them a bit, but I’d rather simply let their comedy speak for themselves.

EDIT: typo, wording

Most of the Anubis encounters I have are to redlib instances that are shuffled around, go down all the time, and generally are more ephemeral than other sites. Because I use another extension called Libredirect to shuffle which redlib instance I visit when clicking on a reddit link, I don’t bother whitelisting them permanently.

I already have solved this on my desktop by self hosting my own redlib instance via localhost and using libredirect to just point there, but on my phone I still do the whole nojs temp unblock random redlib instance. Eventually I plan on using wireguard to host a private redlib instance on a vps so I can just not deal with this.

This is a weird case I know, but its honestly not that bad.

Yeah I actually use the noscript extension and i refuse to just whitelist certain sites unless I’m very certain I trust them.

I run into Anubis checks all the time and while I appreciate the software, having to consistently temporarily whitelist these sites does get cumbersome at times. I hope they make this noJS implementation the default soon.

Get out of here Gentoo Mage! Nobody likes you!

I’ll throw out a few.

• LibRedirect

• Chameleon

• NoScript

Subscribed, top 6 hours.

Way too many. Pretty much all Adult Animation, with a few exceptions which I’ll note.

Bojack Horseman

The best description I have for Bojack Horseman is it’s a dark comedy/drama about generational trauma, depression, wrestling with one’s own demons, owning up to your mistakes, redemption, and so much more, all wrapped up in a strange colorful world that’s full of commentary, an absurd amount of witty puns, and so much more. One of my favorites of all time.

Long Story Short

Long Story Short is from the same writer as Bojack Horseman, but was released very recently. I just got done watching it. I would describe it as a montage of coming of age stories around 3 siblings. The format jumps around from different years within their lives as it depicts an American Jewish Family navigating their interpersonal relationships, explore their Jewish heritage, and grow as a family. It’s a well done comedy with some heavy drama thrown in. Well done in my opinion and worth the watch.

Hazbin Hotel

Hazbin Hotel is a Musical Comedy/Drama that takes place in an exaggerated version of Hell. Taking place in the creator’s own “Helliverse”, Hazbin Hotel stars the daughter of Lucifer Morningstar, Charlie Morningstar, who founds a Hotel with the hope that they can redeem sinners so that they might enter into Heaven. It’s a charming show with some pretty well done music, sometimes very well done animation, and an entertaining cast of characters.

Helluva Boss

Same creator, same universe as Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss stars Blitz (the “o” is silent), an Imp in Hell who founds a company IMP, which provides the service of Assassination for any in Hell who have a grievance with someone still among the living. Helluva Boss is also a musical, though admittedly has far fewer musical numbers. It is also a comedy (some of the comedy is very very raunchy), and also a drama. This one you can watch for free on youtube.

Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty is probably familiar to most at this point. Rick and Morty stars the titular Rick Sanchez and his grandson, Morty. They go on wacky sci fi adventures with some overarching drama along the way. The show is definitely a dark comedy that occasionally delves into some deep existential nihilistic moments. If you haven’t watched this on yet, get on it. It’s a solid win.

Solar Opposites

Solar Opposites stars Korvo and his family of Alien Invaders from the recently destroyed planet Schlorp. They come to Earth with their “baby” Pupa, which will eventually evolve to consume the planet and provide resources to create another planet Schlorp. The show has it’s dramatic moments here and there, but is generally a comedy. If you enjoyed Rick and Morty, it’s likely you’ll enjoy the style of humor this show has to offer. Make no mistake though, Solar Opposites is distinctively it’s own show and even has some great side stories around miniaturized humans and some intergalactic policemen.

Inside Job

Inside Job sadly only lasted two seasons. It was a comedy about Reagan Ridley, a technologist/scientist that works for The Deep State, covering up and interacting with the various classic conspiracies we’ve come to know through popular media (think the Lizard People, Illuminati, etc.). There was of course a bit a drama thrown in as well. Overall a great comedy.

Steven Universe

Steven Universe was a great show that is one of the few on this list that I wouldn’t classify as Adult Animation, but perhaps Young Adult appropriate. Steven is a young boy living on an Island with his Three Aunt Characters. As the story progresses, Steven comes to realize that he is an alien/human hybrid and his Aunts are magical space creatures called “Gems”. Together they fight monsters that come to threaten their planet, and Steven eventually comes to empathize with even his greatest foes. The show is about growing up, gender identity, empathy, and familial love. It’s a real tear jerker at times, but it also has a lot of laughs and a lot of sweet moments.

Infinity Train

Infinity Train deserved more seasons (it got 4 though, pretty good run). Each season is it’s own stand alone story, but the common theme is the characters explore worlds within each cart of a moving Train. The Train is a sort of magical entity that holds entire fantasy worlds inside each cart. The characters are usually trying to address some kind of interpersonal trauma they have experienced. While humorous at times, the show is closer to a dramatic epic and you can tell the creator had a unique vision for this fantastical world. I’d say this one is probably teen friendly, but not entirely for kids.

Scavenger’s Reign

Scavenger’s Reign is a science fiction story about a group of humans who become stranded on an Alien Planet and struggle to understand it’s sometimes beautiful, sometimes terrifying, sometimes bizarre, and usually dangerous ecosystem. The art style in particular is worth mentioning as it is quite beautiful and is obviously inspired in part by famed French Graphic Novel Illustrator, Mœbius. Just for the visuals alone, Scavenger’s Reign is worth a watch, but the story is also very intriguing as the alien world is unlike anything you’ve likely seen in media.

Pantheon

Pantheon was a great show that covered a lot of ground for having been only two seasons. It stars two main characters, Maddie and Caspian, who navigate a world where death is overcome through uploading of the consciousness into a digital world. Obviously inspired by various futurism thinkers as well as various other anime tropes, Pantheon starts off with a very basic premise and draws it out unto an unexpected by very satisfying conclusion. It explores the nature of consciousness, identity, immortality, and freedom. This one I highly recommend, the ending goes really really hard.

Chicken Soup from scratch imho.

First make stock. Roasted chicken bones and spine are thrown in with a pound of chicken feet (adds collagen, stock is richer tasting). Carrot tops, parsley, bay leaf, and a tablespoon of vinegar thrown in. As much water is added as needed to submerge chicken, make absolutely sure not to overfill pressure cooker/pot. Stock is made in pressure cooker (fast) or large pot (slow), then strained.

Then soup. Add whole deboned chicken (previously roasted tastes better), carrots, Yukon potatoes (I like purple ones for cyanocobalamin), garlic, onions, thyme, sage, rosemary, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Optional to add a freshly beaten egg per serving (just pour slowly into soup to prevent clumping). Simmer for a few hours or just pressure cooked again.

Serve over quinoa with freshly chopped cilantro and green onions on top. Add more salt/pepper to taste.

Los Santos in GTA San Andreas. Heck, their versions of San Francisco and Las Vegas were awesome too.

Currently playing Project Zomboid and I know their Louisville Kentucky will be etched into my nightmares for decades to come, lol.

Yes, also fair enough. Alpine as well.

So let’s see. This adds us up to:

Arch, Debian, Alpine, Slackware, Opensuse, Gentoo, Void, Fedora/Redhat, Nix.

And yeah I’ve used docker with Alpine before. I think i used ot as a base to setup redis, postgresql, and some other service a while back. I’m not hating on any distro, just very forgetful of even what I read 15 sec ago.

Very fair. Forgot about OpenSuse. Thank you.

Fair. I suppose adding on Slackware, OpenSuse, and NixOS is in order, as they each have their own package management solutions, which to me is the discerning factor for most of the base distributions. That said Gobo Linux is a weird one I’ve simply not heard of until now. Thanks for the heads up.

There are only five distros. Arch, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora/Red Hat, and Void. Pretty much all others are just Arch or Debian with preinstalled desktop environments, theming on top of said environments, and preinstalled packages depending on the intended use case.

Not a knock nor a praise, just a truth.

Well I wasn’t too young, but Requiem For A Dream still haunts me as one of the most depressing movies ever made, it’s just…really sad and disturbing. I think I saw it when I was 18.

Even Grave Of The Fireflies was more uplifting than that.

Until you have a distro that has the “Please wait while we update your system, do not turn off your computer”, and “something went wrong, please contact” screens and actual customer support, Linux won’t be ready for prime time with the majority of users.

The majority of computer and phone users are used to their asses being wiped and their bottle being fed to them.

And as soon as daddy Cook, daddy Nadella, or daddy Pichai started shoving piss poor UI, exorbitant prices, invasive advertisements, and extreme privacy invasions far up their anus, they start to complain.

But lo and fucking behold, all you have to do to get them to stick some lube up there and beg for more is show them a Linux shell. What a fucking surprise.

I’ve dome Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga. Hatha is the most accessible, though there’s a huge range in quality and difficulty in classes and it depends on the instructor.

Don’t bother with Ashtanga unless you’re very fit and flexible. I’ve never done Bikram/Hot Yoga, but check it out if it interests you (I’d personally try Hatha first).

Anyways, imho, yes, Yoga is worth it, but it obviously isn’t for everyone. Most classes I’ve been to have a meditative and mild spiritual aspect to it while building balance, moderate strength, and of course, flexibility.

I’ve always been an active person in various disciplines in the past including bicycling, running, strength training, calisthenics, and court sports. Yoga has always been a nice experience in the way it incorporates meditation with movement and stretch, and it complements many other disciplines nicely.

Artix has the most amount of alternative init systems available.

I would recommend Devuan, but it just wraps SysV in runit as a service manager rather than just using runit as init.

Gentoo has options for systemd or openrc. You can get runit or s6 to work on it if you’re pretty familiar with how /sbin/init works,or so I’ve ascertained from researching, but have not done this yet.

Void is very interesting as it uses runit and also uses musl instead of glibc. I don’t think it has quite as many packages as Artix though due to lack of AUR, and I can only estimate that the use of musl instead of glibc necessitates the need for some interesting workarounds from time to time.

I use Artix with runit. Have been daily driving this for around 6 years now and have been very happy with it.

If I were to use anything else I’d go through the trouble of installing Gentoo and configure it to use s6 init. Just to get more granular control.
