Hello, fellow Linux enthusiasts! Today I want to share with you my experience of using Redcore Linux for the last few months. Redcore Linux is a Gentoo-based distribution that aims to provide a user-friendly and stable system without sacrificing performance and flexibility. Sounds great, right? Well, there is a catch: you have to build everything from source. Yes, you heard me right. Redcore Linux does not always provide binary packages for most of the software you need or want. Instead, you have to compile them yourself using the Portage package manager. This means that you have to wait for hours or even days for your system to be updated or installed. And don't get me started on the dependencies and the USE flags. It's a nightmare! But why would anyone subject themselves to such torture, you may ask? Well, I have a few reasons. First of all, I like to challenge myself and learn new things. Building from source is a great way to understand how Linux works and how to custo...

Black Tongue Reverend's debut album, Northern Burden, was released on February 27, 2022. The album is a four-track EP that blends heavy psych, blues, and stoner rock. The album was written and recorded in the summer of 2021 in Willow Glen Studio (aka Eric's living room) for very little money and a vague idea what they were doing. The album has been praised by critics for its gritty sound and its ability to bring the atmosphere of the past into a modern and personal context. One reviewer called it "a wonderful debut release" and "the embodiment of grit." Another said it was "a good debut EP" that "offers a granite sound that mixes Heavy Psych with Blues, passing through Stoner." The album opens with the track "Texas Freeze," which is a heavy, bluesy rocker with a driving beat and a catchy melody. The second track, "Northern Burden," is a slower, more atmospheric song with a psychedelic edge. The third track, "D...

The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979. Initially a hardcore punk band, they are one of the main pioneers of alternative rock. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its existence. Following several acclaimed albums, including Let It Be and Tim, Bob Stinson was kicked out of the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist. Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output. The band was known for their energetic live performances, which often featured drunken and chaotic behavior. They were also known for their eclectic mix of musical styles, which drew on punk rock, power pop, and country music. The Replacements released 10 studio albums during their career, as well as several live albums and compilations. They disbanded in 199...

Have you ever wondered why humans are so different from other animals on Earth? Why we have such advanced intelligence, language, culture, and technology? Well, I have a theory that might shock you: we are not native to this planet. We are actually aliens from deep space who crash landed here around the time of Neanderthal man and thrived. Sounds crazy, right? But hear me out. There is some evidence that supports this idea. For example, did you know that humans have more genetic diversity than any other species on Earth? That means we have more variations in our DNA than any other animal. This could be explained by the fact that we came from a different star system where there were many different races and sub-species of humans. Another clue is our blood type. Most animals on Earth have only one blood type, but humans have four: A, B, AB, and O. And some people have a rare antigen called Rh factor that makes them Rh positive or negative. This could be a result of interbreeding betwe...

I wrote this about 2009. The Rot Within: the time of american hegemony is over. the fractured state of american society and bilateral disfunction of the political apparatus are the main contributing factors. collective guilt, bankrupt corporate ethics and the lack of personal accountability fuel the disease that is killing the amerikan republik. the global neighborhood has caught a whiff of the decay and the buzzards are starting to circle. the potential for increased societal control of a mistrustful and mutually fearing population already divided by class and economics is at hand.
