  • That time my cousin and aunt made a scene the first night in the funeral home after my mom died. That’s irreparable because

    1. My mom died that fucking day, 2 years after my dad and they were supposed to all be close.
    2. It was due to my personal life (my soon-to-be-wife). To add some context: she is a foreigner so there is a lot of racism and a bit of classism.
    3. Her only living sister.
    4. It’s been 6 months and they haven’t contacted me, apologized or anything,

    Don’t get me wrong. They are forgiven, but it hurts and it will hurt for the rest of my life so I don’t be able to ever open the door for them to come back into my life.

    My parents were my best friends too. I could talk with them about anything (they both died in the last 3 years) but I also had a network of friends, I grew up with them, then people I have known along the way and people my parents were friends with I am trying to keep the connection. Then there is the woman I am going to marry with whom I have a relationship like my parents but with obvious differences.

    It’s not bad that you dad is your friend but you need to know more people, you are young though.

    I jumped ship from windows 10 to Linux on August and it’s been smooth I have found alternatives for everything, but to be fair I used a lot of foss already on Windows 10.

    Started with Debian but although I love it for my homelab I didn’t like it being behind on KDE release so I switched to endeavourOS and I just love it.





  • I worked during my mom’s last months of life while taking care of her because the company allowed me to fully work from home, no question asked if I was available ok, if I wasn’t ok too. And I brag about that. Otherwise I would have taken a sick leave to take care of my mom (which my country allows), but working gave me a good, I don’t know how to say, sometimes when I had work and my mom didn’t need me I didn’t think about the situation and that was nice.

    People should make use of their rights, although in my case I found a compromise that, in my opinion, benefited me; but this company gained my loyalty for the time being.

    The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation…

    Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.

    Regarding software today it’s easier than it’s ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.

    Anyway there is this scene in the show “Bojack Horseman” where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: “It gets easier”, “uh?” answers Bojack, “It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that’s the hard part”.

    What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.

    Here is the scene from Bojack

    That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed, now I keep a journal when I change anything :)
