“home grown” Ubuntu spin, got it

Very neat! Definitely a project I’d like to follow.

Makes me wonder if something similar could be implemented using frr, ospf, and ansible.

Always backup.

Everytime I do anything with filesystems or partitions, something goes wrong and I end up having to utilize the backup.

That’s not to say btrfs-convert won’t work; I have no idea as I’ve never used it. Maybe it will work perfectly, but at least you’ll have a backup for a fresh fs if it doesn’t.

Give it time

Yeah

You have an unlimited amount of water in that glass, assuming you don’t drink it all.

Ender’s game is a book I can always pick up and read through in one or two sittings. The rest of the serieses maybe not as much.

Also anything Jonathan safran foer.

Edit: foundation and anathem are also gems.

Haha, I always thought that was the point.

East of Eden definitely has a place in my top 5. Having been forced to read grapes of wrath in highschool, I didn’t touch another Steinbeck for quite a few years. I think being told to read something immediately changes your opinion about the book and author.

East of Eden was a perfect book about humans. Definitely changed the way I think and feel about Steinbeck. Worth every page.

If I get to about 40% of a book and I don’t care about what happens to any of the characters, I’ll just drop it.

I’ll usually flip to a random page in a new book and read a few paragraphs to see if I like the way the author writes. If it doesn’t click with me; phrasing, vernacular, etc, I won’t bother with it disregarding whatever the story is about.

The stranger. Cannery row. Catch 22. Extremely loud and incredibly close.

Some of my favorite depression books.

I use Manjaro only because it makes others upset.

Also, I installed it a few years back and it just keeps working fine for me.
