Cybersecurity distro
I’m looking for a distro to start getting into Cybersec.
I know kali is the gold standard for the industry but I dislike the way it presents all its tools, you get EVERYTHING and I don’t generally agree with that philosophy.
ParrotOS seems like a decent alternative and I like how the whole system feels more cohesive and I really like the privacy aspects to it.
Blackarch is what I’m kinda leaning towards due to me understanding and daily driving Arch and arch based systems. I love the philosophy and...
New text editor
What text editor do you use? I need to replace Nvim
Quickshell
I started learning Quickshell. I planned on implementing a HUD to AstralOS but always intended it to come out later. Now though, since my server is down I decided to get a head start. I’m understanding the basic concepts of it but it is harder than Waybar. Having a good time though.
Nebula compositor
Despite my server being down I have been learning a lot about how Wayland compositors work. Instead of doing everything from scratch I just decided to fork the Cage compositor and make a few tweaks ti create the Nebula compositor. Still in progress but I’m excited and optimistic.
Man I miss my server
My server is still down, on the we other side of the planet.
I have been itching to work on AstralOS but the VM I am making it on is on my server.
Me: silent crying
Server down
My proxmox server halfway across the world went down during a reboot. Now I gotta get a friend to boot back into the previous kernel. Hope this goes well…
Internet rabbitholes
Im bored, share your most interesting internet rabbitholes.
They can be educational, creepy, something you would only find in the depths of 4chan, doesn’t matter as long as they’re interesting.
Ryoku
The Ryoku Linux distribution recently came onto my radar. It seems like an amazing alternative to Omarchy and looks beautiful to boot.
I recently ditched Omarchy on account of it being bloated and made by a right wing nut job.
Fuck you DHH
Has anyone tried out Ryoku? What are your thoughts?
Thoughts
Sometimes I wake up and can’t care less about my outward appearance and just want something practical so I end up in my usual T-shirt and jeans. Other days I wake up and am so appalled by the unimaginative and nature of my wardrobe that I want to go and wear a dress, do makeup and get piecings.
However society deems me unfit to wear anything feminine and my brain is more concerned if I can survive the apocalypse or a blue collar construction site. I loved working in construction, it was extremely fun to...
Phone OS
I’m looking to get a new phone next year and I’m wanting to put Linux on it. GrapheneOS is cool but I do a bit of international travel and that won’t work out well with crossing the boarder.
Anyone know of some good Linux phones?
Back to normal
My progress with Astral-OS has been incredibly slow and inconsistent due to various personal reasons and long drawn out application processes of getting a job overseas.
However I have finally gotten into my new job working at a school and things are somewhat back to normal. I have found motivation to resume work and actually have time for the project.
When I started Astral-OS, I had just started the application process and of course it was not smooth and neither was leaving my home. This caused the...
Misfortune cookies
I think it would be funny if Cyberspace had misfortune cookies…
Books
Any book recommendations? Looking for something with queer characters and preferably fantasy and not strictly romance. Not necessarily looking for a light read, I enjoy heavy reads with extensive lore that really requires you to pay attention.
I really enjoyed reading the entirety of lord of the rings including the Sillmerilion (yeah I can’t spell it to save my life) and the Inheritance cycle twice. The stormlight archive is on my list and downloaded on my kobo and I’m about halfway through the second...
Going through a real hard time right now, a very close immediate family member recently passed. I was at a bar last night with some friends and I had a good time but that was easily the most amount of alcohol I consumed in one sitting.
I’m not really the type to get high or drunk but man, I would have gotten utterly wasted if my friends weren’t there.
Kinda scared the fuck out of me. I know my limitations when it comes to alcohol and I passed them and would have kept going.
It’s been very difficult for...
Server name
The other day I realized I had neglected to name my server. I need to fix this so please reply with suggestions.
cyberspace games
Anyone playing payback on the cyberspace terminal? how do you upload the disk for the quest you get from the stranger in the lybrary?
uninstall the french pack
Just ran sudo rm -fr / in the Cyberspace terminal, cool easteregg @genghis_khan
Book recommendations
Looking for some new books to read. I have been working my way through the Linux basics for hackers, the Linux bible and the LFS manual just for fun. I’m also a massive enjoyer of Lord of the Rings and the Inheritance Cycle, t he Stormlight Archive is also on my reading list and I loved The motion Martian
Any suggestions whatsoever are welcome!
