Fixed Icons + URLs I finished updating all the apps to get the icons working properly. I’ve also changed all the release pages to no longer have the version name in the file name, and use the release title for the version instead, which works better with Obtainium anyways. HyperGames AKA Platformer is still being fully upgraded for the most recent version of Android. All the other apps should be working properly. ...
I recently got the van stuck in some super slick mud and was able to easily get out once I realized what the problem was. Tires: Yokohama Geolandar A/T’s Van recommends a PSI of 35, I keep them between 25 and 32 since I spend most my time off highways, and they were somehow set all the way near 40.

Introduction Sometimes when logging in to my Artix installation I’d get an array of dconf errors from multiple programs. i3’s status bar would not show up, certain programs like Codium would not launch, and the system would just behave in peculiar ways. dconf-CRITICAL **: 07:54:25.230: unable to create directory '/run/user/1000/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly. Checking logind would show that it was running, and loginctl list-sessions would list the session, but the /run/user directory would be completely empty. Any attempt to manually create the hierarchy would cause the new folders to get immediately and completely nuked. Restarting and enabling logind did not seem to have any effect. ...

Introduction After installing Artix with LXQT and runit on my NovaCustom laptop I was finding that many GUI applications were failing to run properly. When running them via terminal to see the error output there were all sorts of dconf related errors. These were related to issues in the /run/user/ hierarchy, such as the 1000 directory not being created. When trying to get it and elogind working properly the directories were just getting deleted if created manually. ...
I collected way too many lobster mushrooms and decide to bring you along for my first attempt cooking them. AI Disclosure “Recipe” is courteous of Ask Brave based on these prompts and responses: How to saute mushrooms in an instant pot. Set the Instant Pot to the Sauté function and add oil or butter.

Intro Artix’s installer runs fine on my mid 2010s Macbook Air, but on my early 2020s NovaCustom the Calamares installer was hanging at ‘Gathering System Requirements’ as soon as it opened. Rather than use the CLI installer for doing all the disk encryption and other setup, I chose to resolve these issues so that the environment is as identical as possible to my other laptop. Here’s how I ended up getting around it. ...

I discuss a concept I see pushed in a lot of media, including the recent movie The Running Man (2025). Freedom in a system of covert slavery comes from the inside. External anarchy requires internal monarchy, not the death of the ruling class. Murder is immoral and any system built on that will continue to be immoral. There will always be more evil people to replace the current ones if we do not educate each other first. Learn to live in ways that involve their systems less and less in your life, and achieve Freedom within yourself and your local community first, before trying to take it to the large scale. ...

My apps are now available via an F-Droid repository! Obtainium is my preffered way (see instructions below), but some may like the simplicity of using an app store like F-Droid.

Societal Obsessions, Let’s Talk About Feces! Have you ever stopped and noticed how much human society interacts with the feces of other animals?
