Since I often re-install Linux systems, I spend a lot of time doing repetitive tasks and often forget some steps, which leads me to waste even more time figuring out what&amp;rsquo;s wrong.
2These instructions allow you to get a fully functional and modern-looking XFCE desktop on a fresh install of Void Linux (even though they can be adapted to work in any distro).</description></item><item><title>Update your mirrors!</title><link>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/reflector/</link><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jan 2023 12:48:40 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/reflector/</guid><description>Nah, I&amp;rsquo;m not talking about bluetooth mirrors. Mirrors are what powers all distros: they&amp;rsquo;re a (de)centralized solution for downloading pre-compiled binaries and scripts for your operating system.
3Suspicion I like always having the most current version of packages, so I usually update my system several times a day. When, after a day, I ran sudo pacman -Syu and it reported the system being up to date, I was pretty weirded out.</description></item><item><title>My opinion on FOMO</title><link>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/fomo/</link><pubDate>Sun, 06 Mar 2022 11:21:41 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/fomo/</guid><description>What are you even talking about Let me preface this by saying I know nothing about psychology and behavioral studies, so anything you read here is just my personal opinion.
4Let&amp;rsquo;s start with defining FOMO, to make sure we&amp;rsquo;re all on the same spectrum.
5Fear of missing out (FOMO) is the feeling of apprehension that one is either not in the know or missing out on information, events, experiences, or life decisions that could make one&amp;rsquo;s life better.</description></item><item><title>GGVG01 - Fran Bow</title><link>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/ggvg01/</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Feb 2022 11:29:15 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/ggvg01/</guid><description>While I&amp;rsquo;m a free software enthusiast, I love videogames as an art form (even if playing them involves messing with ugly DRM). That&amp;rsquo;s why I&amp;rsquo;ve decided I will start talking (spoiler-free) about my favorite ones in my new series: the Geminaut&amp;rsquo;s Guide to Video Games!
6Context Fran Bow was developed by Killmonday Games, a Swedish indie studio composed of Natalia and Isak Martinsson. This game was suggested to me by my ex-girlfriend.</description></item><item><title>Data volatility</title><link>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/data-volatility/</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Jan 2022 10:31:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/data-volatility/</guid><description>I tried to access my domain at smol.pub yesterday and I noticed the service went down. Fear started rushing through my veins as I noticed I would have to choose another platform and, most importantly, write everything back from scratch since I don&amp;rsquo;t have a backup. This made me think about the importance of always having a backup stored somewhere.
7Why though Creating a backup of your important data is crucial.</description></item><item><title>You should probably use Linux</title><link>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/you-should-use-linux/</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://birabittoh.github.io/articles/you-should-use-linux/</guid><description>Why are you writing this? As you probably know, I like using free software (free as in freedom, not free of charge). Most people see users with this mentality as a group of paranoid psychopaths who circlejerk about their custom systems. While that&amp;rsquo;s in part true, there&amp;rsquo;s much more to it.
8I often get asked by Windows or MacOS users about why they should think about switching to a GNU/Linux OS (which I&amp;rsquo;ll be referring to as Linux); I&amp;rsquo;m just going to address everything here so I don&amp;rsquo;t have to repeat it to everyone who asks.</description></item></channel></rss>
