In June of 2026, Arch Linux experienced a real hurdle: a large number of packages were taken over and turned evil. Orphaned packages (as of writing, 1,935 known packages; roughly 1.8% of the AUR) were hijacked by bad actors and loaded...
Well, it's finally here. The second Mortal Kombat of the Cole Young saga has been released. And just like the video game of the same name, it's a major improvement over the first installment. // General Review One thing I appreciate...
On the six month anniversary of the day I quit drinking, I marked the occasion by attending a meeting. It seemed appropriate, plus I wanted to get my coin. Getting the coin for six months was important to me; it signified that this was...
Continued From Part 2 The book repository was on Iron Street, a half-mile away from anyone who was still awake. The open industrial park was free of any traffic, and the air was still enough to hear the Orange Line pass by in the...
I ended 2025 on a hopeful note, mentioning seasonal work that could hopefully be turned into something more permanent. Sadly, it ended up being very temporary after all. As such, I'm back on the market for employment. I'm also trying to...
With the proliferation of automated content mills and sanitized, performative behavior online, you see this phrase a lot: "The internet is dead now; it's not the same as it used to be." And I don't agree, especially given that "the...

Celebrate the New Year with me as I recount the (read: my) wins of 2025, and toast to a hopeful 2026! Well, here we are. It's the end of 2025: a landmark year... for me. Well, not really; if I'm being honest, the year had its ups and...
Well, this is it. We've come to the final week of 2025. As such, that puts us right at Christmas Day. If you celebrate: MERRY CHRISTMAS! If you don't, then I'm sorry that most things are closed today. At least you got a day off... unless...
It's Christmas time again. It's time for people to discuss their gadgetry, typically in the context of wanting the hot new gadgetry out, instead of the old, busted and played-out gadgetry that they've been using for the last six months....
First off, to whoever is reading this: Happy Halloween. I hope you spent it watching the scariest movies you could find. This entry in the ledger is about the scariest thing of all: Goal stagnation, and how it's affecting this site and...
A year and a half ago, I had the three beams of security: A well-paying job, an apartment, and a car. I didn't have savings, but I was content; living paycheck to paycheck doesn't seem all that bad when the checks cover your expenses....
This'll be a bit of a controversial take and I may lose some of you, but hear me out: backing into parking spaces is potentially safer than pulling into them, and if you are able, you should opt into the former before the latter. Of...
When you can do anything, there's always that impulse to do everything. Or, at least, everything you have the means to do, whether it makes sense or not. And yes, this ties into hVmark. One of my favorite video game franchises is Max...
