In light of the most recent elections and the chaos and tension that accompanies it, I think it may be important to talk about the way the democratic system works and one of its key flaws, both in the United States and in other places (like my home country

I'm giving a head's up that my site is going to undergo a massive migration (relatively) soon.

Recently there has been a scandal within the Church over footage found in the recent documentary "Francesco" on Pope Francis.

"The Catholic Church never suits the particular mood of any age, because it was made for all ages.

A while back I had read an article by The Art of Manliness on why we shouldn't be authentic, but rather artificial. [1] The logic was that being authentic drives us towards commodity and effeminacy, seeking only what we find pleasure in instead of what is…

As I had mentioned in a previous post about ARM boards, I have recently acquired an ASUS C201P chromebook which I have started to use more on a daily basis.

I'm not sure if I've touched upon this subject before, but e-mail is perhaps my favorite means of communication, especially for in-depth discussions.

In light of the COVID-19 crisis and the rising trend of digital technological solutions to our social confinement efforts, I thought I would take the opportunity to go over the issue of what I call technological slave mentality.

In the past I've mentioned both ARM and even the ARM-based laptop currently in development, the MNT Reform.

Living independently in an apartment, I've learned to make quite a few meals out of cheap ingredients and leftovers.

So, for maybe several months now I've been running Gentoo as my main distribution, keeping a dual-boot with ArchLinux.

If you've ever had to learn Spanish for class (especially in the US) you're probably utterly confused as to why there would be anything useful in Spanish that a language like English could adopt.

A while back I was searching for a new terminal and browser to use on Gentoo that wouldn't take ages to compile and didn't have a million dependencies.

I had not noticed this until someone thankfully brought it up to me last Friday, that my website was down.
