  • I started using Gentoo many years ago, and took a break from it for a few years. It has some overhead to maintain. Two years or so ago I went back to it and, no joke, it is so much simpler now. Dist-kernel, dracut, refind just sorted everything. I felt like I was cheating. I don’t have to write my own custom initramfs for my custom needs? Stuff just solves it? And compilation errors and conflicts even when running a bunch of keyworded packages: gone! What is going on?






  • The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
    The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined

    And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that’s bad
    Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad

    The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
    The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night

    The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
    But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal

    As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
    But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear

    Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
    Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush




  • Annie Lööf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Lööf

    While she is a crazy economically far right politician, who wants everyone to have higher rents, no welfare, and so on, the one thing her party (through many party leader switches since her) still stands against is the populist racist far right. While all other right wing parties adopted the far-right language and started collaborating with them, her party did not, and left their previous coallition to be in opposition instead. I have probably zero respect and understanding for her and her party’s politics, except for that one point. This position also led her to be a target of a planned neo nazi assassination, because of all the hate the far right (here I mean hate the actual far right party, which all the right parties collaborates with openly had for her) has for her and her party.











  • Får får inte får. Får får lamm.

    sheeps don’t get sheeps. Sheeps get lambs.

    Får = sheep/to get

    var tog vägen vägen? Ute på en åker och åker

    where did the road go? Out in a field and driving

    “Tog vägen” = literally “took the road”, meaning “where did it go”, sort of. And åker = driving and a farm field.

    I got a t-shirt from the Swedish Society for People with Anxiety. It came with a print on the chest.

    “print on the chest” would be “tryck för/på/över bröstet” having the double meaning “preassure over the chest”.

    Then there are endless of jokes from Gothenburg which all do not translate.

    Who is faster, Eminem or Taylor Swift? Eminem, he is a rapper

    “rapper” in swedish is “rappare”, meaning also “faster”.

    In stockholm a snake escaped the zoo and has not been found. The zoo is missing him a lot

    The last bit in swedish would be “saknaden är enorm”, “saknad” being the emotion of missing someone, “enorm” being large/a lot/great. But also enorm=en-orm=a-snake.
