  • Occasionally find myself envying people with faith and wonder how my life is different than theirs.

    The thing is, there’s nothing stopping you from having faith. But do keep in mind that you want to have faith in something that is not shitty.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong this one seems nice. Promotes meditation, physical exercise, as well as peaceful civil involvement in society helping others and doing good, which will help you reach spiritual enlightenment.

    So while I personally like and prefer having a yawning void where some other people have faith, I generally recommend this religion to people who prefer having faith. If this one isn’t to your liking, perhaps research what other non-shitty options are there.

    And as a general pro tip when going with the faith option: please, no fanaticism.

    Edit: I’ve read some more on this, and this religion has some shitty postulations too. Well, keep looking out.












  • What you’re proposing is creating a Frankendebian, which Debian explicitly warns against doing. The proper way of getting security patches from unstable would be to pull the source debs and compile it yourself against the current Debian testing base.

    This lane of thinking however seems to be completely misguided when it comes to the target audience here, that is, a user who is not even experienced with Linux in general enough to know about various rolling release distros. Telling a user this inexperienced to go with either of those is in bad taste at the very least.


  • Just keep in mind that you will not be receiving speedy security updates, and in some cases you will need to wait for quite a while before packages you have will be updated (weeks, maybe longer).

    If you want a proper rolling release distro that is not Arch/Gentoo/Void/Nix/GuixSD, you could go for openSUSE, which provides a rolling release distro with a system rollback feature by default. Nice, easy to use GUIs for whatever you need. Although openSUSE also is sometimes a bit slow with the security updates for some packages, it’s nowhere near as slow as Debian testing.

    Bah. This is weak. Try the real world stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

    Unit 731 was responsible for some of the most notorious war crimes committed by the Japanese armed forces. It routinely conducted tests on people who were dehumanized and internally referred to as “logs”. Experiments included disease injections, controlled dehydration, biological weapons testing, hypobaric pressure chamber testing, vivisection, organ procurement, amputation, and standard weapons testing. Victims included not only kidnapped men, women (including pregnant women) and children but also babies born from the systemic rape perpetrated by the staff inside the compound.
