Have you ever tasted Nordic potatoes when they’re freshly picked from the ground?

Their creator, Tove Jansson was living with her partner on this isolated island and growing potatoes. So makes sense.

Talking about Stephen King, Misery is a great movie.

I never really watched any horror movies until this October we binge watched almost 40 movies from that genre.

I agree, some of the absolute greatest films are from that genre, and you can find very interesting stuff from there if you dig a bit.

I’m now kind of mad at how I didn’t find Evil Dead earlier in my life. Or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre…

I didn’t like The Dark Knight at all. It was just kind of boring and the acting didn’t do anything for me.

I also think Nolan is highly overrated.

I would love to spend a night with him, sitting together at a kitchen table, him constantly ranting about movies and giving anecdotes, me pouring more wine…

I think this is the beauty of Tarantino.

It takes a lot of shelf space for enough mugs to have a Maß every night.

Aurora Borealis!

If you ever visit Hamburg, this place will blow your mind:

www.miniatur-wunderland.com

I don’t even have words to tell you how cool that place is. We went to an art exhibition in Hamburg, and kind of accidentally went to see that place too. Like, they have day/night cycle there. They have trains with little cameras on top of them so you can travel in them. They have model planes landing and they have cruise ships going in real water.

So damn cool.

Some people don’t care about organizing their music and all that. They just want their playlists and an algorithm to tell what to listen…

Me? I enjoy my properly tagged Plex library.

pimeys, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?

I borrowed an installation CD from the local library around 1998. It was RedHat 5.x, and I started messing around with it due to me being interested in alternative operating systems. Before it, I had OS/2 Warp 3.0 in our IBM Pentium 100 MHz family computer which didn’t really do it for me to be honest.

It took weeks to get anything working with Linux. I went to the library, borrowing books. In our middle school we had an internet connection, so I utilized it to learn how to configure modelines correctly to get X11 running.

When it did finally run, the default window manager was FVWM95, almost like Windows 95!

I used OSX a few years in the power PC times, just to switch back to Linux around 2008.

Edit: my real love for Linux started when I got Debian running. RedHat didn’t have anything comparable to apt those days. You needed to download RPM packages manually with all the dependencies, while apt just worked with one command.
