  • what are you interested in? what do you find that you always end up doing, when youre alone? what do you think about? creative things? have any ideas about solutions to problems you find?

    here is a random list of skills that ive developed since around that age:

    • cooking (working restaurants of various types and doing Food Not Bombs direct action stuff)

    • naturopathic medicine and herbal remedies (studied and worked with/for a family business that produced, marketed, and sold homeopathic/naturopathic medicines, tinctures, etc.

    • sustainable residential construction (started with learning building Earthships, moved to high-end custom carpentry, to conventional remodelling and construction)

    • Trail building and forestry (spent 2 years doing forest thinning for wildfire management and trail building on the Continental Divide)

    • edible landscaping/local agriculture (Nashville Foodscapes designed and implemented landscaping that used native plants and fruit bearing and edible plants as beautiful landscaping)

    • Music and art (im self taught musician and artist using various medium. woodwork, pen and ink, graphic design)

    • IT, software development, systems building (self taught and AI assisted projects building production apps for various business ideas, building tools to help me in my day to day, etc.)

    • Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science Information Technology (I need the peice of paper that says im worth 100k salary)

    Just do shit, dont think so hard. Follow your heart. If theres something youre interested in, go seek it out and immerse yourself. Then see where it takes you.

    Ive travelled the world and USA building Earthships, met people from all over the world doing different things and the broader your experiences are the more oppurtunities you will find.

    Vibe coding.





  • yeah i was just thinking this the other day. i have alot of packages on my linux boot. i run mysql,postgres all kinds of stuff, many python versions, still fast as the first day i installed it. windows on the other hand starts bogging down fast. i keep my windows boot withonly the bare minimum of things and turn off almost everything from the start up, woth the hopes of keeping it useable.


  • thats strange, my boot menu has 2 kernel selections for pop os, the current one and one that is the previous running kernel. if a pop os update breaks my system i can just boot from the other kernel image. which has only happened once in 5 years. but was able to wait for pop to push fixes etc and then dist upgrade.

    since you dont seem to have that option, you may need to boot from live usb and investigate further.

    when you try to boot into it what happens?











  • im really impressed by the projects that continue to exist. since the “mainstream” dawn of desktop home linux (circa 2004?) so many open source projects that were critical for the user base ecosystem to find linux daily-able are still going. open source is awesome. from a user perspective, i am not a developer, i hate and suck at ‘coding’…but im so appreciative for the developers and maintainers of the vast amounts of code that exists in the linux open source space…badass




  • embedded linux! im too dumb to understand most of this but, im glad there are people out there with the brains and willpower to create projects like this. its not only like novelty value, but can really show potential future use cases for how we can make use of obsolete hardware etc. creative thinking is crucial in times like these, where mainstream is stripping away the value of art and creation. cool project!
