  • You are right, I wanted to do some nodejs and realized that the package in the repo was Node version 12.something while latest node is version 20.something.

    Also they still ship Python 3.10 which is ancient technology by today’s standard, luckily nothing major is added between 3.10 and 3.12

    Their mirrors are worst, ALL OF SELECTABLE OPTIONS FROM MIRROR SELECTOR which shows up at 47 KB/sec which just hurts your area spanning from asshole to large intestines.

    I use bridgetide linux mint mirror btw

    So why am I not switching?

    Here is why: Linux mint is based on Ubuntu meaning that you can add Ubuntu repos or ppas or whatever they need directly into Linux Mint and dont have to worry about it breaking.

    Say that you need to have some software for a reason and you cannot find one in Flatpak or an appimage, etc. You will be happy to realize that many of these software are built for Ubuntu and provide their deb package with own repo with updates.

    I run Linux Mint 21.3 and that means I can just use a program built for Ubuntu Jammy as Linux Mint Virginia is based on Ubuntu Jammy. If I need to install something out of repo, I can just go and install Ubuntu jammy deb package and it will work normally.










  • It seems that Telegram is the most popular among cat abusers in China. And before I write further, there are people in china currently taking huge risks in demanding the government to pass laws that give them harsh punishments.

    And as per inflammatory content about the president goes, well, when these cat abusers are not busy abusing cats, they are busy putting pig snout in his face. The government is busy trying to silence journalists trying to make people aware of the cat abuse situation because they think that this action of making huge noise will harm the reputation of China while turning a blind eye on all the cat abuses happening within the borders.

    Telegram is known to not cooperate with other governments at all. Like how they did nothing to help South Korea with nth room situation. I am sure they dont care to provide information about these cat abusers either.


  • If you are a high value target, you should not carry normal phones made for normal people.

    Its sad that none of the dumb phones were built with security in mind. Linux phones are the second best option, GrapheneOS and CalyxOS would be the least you should go.

    Alot of people told me “No these old phones cannot do modern crypto” and I am like they managed to put in full 3d games for Nokia 5130c2 and 5300 such as “1916 Dogfight” and “Need for speed carbon” I am sure these phones have enough processing power to do all the modern crypto if someone tried to.
