Re: /dev/null

Not much around lately, I know, but I have been very busy with a couple of exams.

However, they are about great stuff, and I could not resist write about it (which turns out to be a nice way to revise as well): https://manueluberti.eu/posts/2024-03-1 ... e-tension/

Re: Distros of interest

^ I think I won't upgrade to the new LTS this time. I've been on 22.04 since it was released and, by avoiding snaps altogether, I only had minor issues that I have eventually fixed. Still, I don't use my home laptop for anything that requires Ubuntu in particular. I pretty much end up with the same ...

An ex-Unsane in this should be enough to tickle your curiosity. And by "your" I mean Ivan's of course.

Freud: The Secret Passion
I love John Huston and I love Montgomery Clift. This is a lost gem, if you ask me, although I prefer by a large margin what they did the year before.

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

Yes, the idea is sending the audio from the TV to the amp. The S2+ has some filter settings, I'll see which one sounds better.

Re: VPN and DNS Nonsense

^ I have noticed that as well. I have also noticed uBlock breaking more and more websites for me, but that's fine, it's the WWW's fault anyway.

Re: EDC, gadgets and gear stuff

Due to a welfare thingy that has been going on for some years here, I had some extra credit to spend on Amazon, so I ordered a DAC to link the Samsung QLED to my Denon amplifier. I went with a Pro-Ject S2+ , mostly because I have never had anything to complain about them. To my humble ears the sound...

Re: TV series

^ To be honest, I was disappointed at the end. It felt rushed and out of ideas, but also way too much on the safe side (i.e. let's put this and that to please everyone otherwise we risk become unpopular).

^ Yep, Fassbender did work on this material. So far it's a crazy book, somewhere between Joyce and Kafka.

A Murder at the End of the World I started this much discussed and praised series last night. So far I am not that impressed, I would just call it good entertainment and that's it, but since it's just a small number of episodes I will stick around to check how it turns out.

The International
This fell off my radar back in its time, but overall it's a good political thriller. I would not go nuts about it like some critics, but still, they kill Luca Barbareschi at a certain point, something I have always wanted to do.
