    This is going to be unpopular, but you can easily compile both Python and R and configure them to your liking. For Python you can even use Anaconda3 and forget about installing most packages by yourself.

    As for Julia, I usually just install the precompiled binary package.

    So, any distribution you feel comfortable with will do.

    Fedora, maybe?

    Edit to make my point:

    • It is free and open-source.

    • Fedora has a rather fast release cycle. It offers new versions roughly every 6 months, along with regular package updates.

    • Has been using Wayland by default since Fedora 25, so it aligns with your preference to avoid X11.

    • Allows you to set up full-disk encryption.

    • Doesn’t freeze its regular releases for more than a year.

    • Supports a wide variety of hardware and aims to offer the latest kernel and drivers.

    • It is a large project.



  • I understand your perspective on questioning the gender assigned at birth, and it’s a valid point of view. However, it’s important to remember that the concept of gender is multifaceted, involving biological, social, and cultural elements that have existed long before modern governments. For a significant number of people, their gender identity aligns naturally with their biological sex and the societal roles they’ve been assigned. For these individuals, there may not be a pressing need to question their gender, as they feel a sense of congruence. The experience of gender is complex and varies from person to person, but it’s not surprising that some people don’t find it necessary to question their assigned roles.

    Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Long are gone the days where I used to tinker with different Linux flavors.

    Fortunately, I can afford powerful enough systems so I do not have to be worried about optimizing every single aspect of the OS.

    I want things just to work out of the box. I am aware that this applies to more distros than Ubuntu, but I just do not have the time and energy anymore.





  • Inglorious Bastards ain’t your average war flick or history lesson, it’s Tarantino doing his offbeat thing. The humor’s not mocking the war, but poking at the villains. The Basterds are soldiers, not a hit squad against innocents. The cinema cheers? That’s just folks enjoying seeing the Nazis get some comeuppance. If you didn’t dig it, cool. But remember, Tarantino’s all about pushing buttons and sparking chatter. If it got under your skin, maybe it hit the mark.

    netcup’s VPS services are worth a look. Great pricing and options, though the interface isn’t super beginner-friendly. The management panel’s a powerhouse if you know your stuff, but it falls short on the billing/administrative tools. It’s got value though, especially for the somewhat tech-savvy.

    They are based in Europe.


  • I must admit that I eventually got used to it and even started enjoying this attitude, which I also took part in, but I was quite amazed by the Finns.

    For work reasons, I had to spend three months in Espoo and the interaction with my colleagues was strangely cold in social interactions. Examples:

    • In the office canteen, they would sit next to you and start eating without even greeting or making conversation. I wondered why they had chosen to sit next to me.
    • When they finished eating, they would get up from the table and not say goodbye.
    • The scrupulous respect for personal space: in queues, crowds, etc.
    • Small talk was generally non-existent. People often preferred to stay quiet rather than chat about the weather or other common topics. Even in an elevator, silence was the norm, not the exception.
    • During meetings, the Finns would often speak only when they had something substantial to contribute. The silence in between wasn’t considered awkward, but a moment of thoughtfulness and respect for others’ ideas.

    I ended up enjoying this way of social interaction. It seems to me that one uses less energy in social situations. There’s less stress about having to make conversation or engage in small talks.

    Love you Finland.
