Debian-head here, daily driving it for the last 5 years. I distrohopped a lot before but Debian made me stay, mainly because of its stability and the fact that it's community driven.
It's getting harder everyday making your needs fit your ethics, but this is one of the few cases and it makes me feel good with my choices.
I'm gonna pet it anyways

I used to be in no speaking terms with my mom for a long time, but as I said I didn't want to be angry anymore, it's tiresome and ruins your life.
She didn't improve, but our relationship did because I learned to set boundaries without some sort of "violence escalation" from both sides. It took time and patience, but I think it's one of the fundamental steps to become a real adult and not just a grown up child
The alternative is to be angry your whole life and that, in my opinion, is even worse.
My dad softened a lot lately, seeing his parents go made him realize how important the relationship with his own children is.
On my mum's side, I'm afraid she will always be tone deaf and self absorbed, but I learned not to resent her for that
Oh gosh I really hope no one could have predicted this and used these information to make themself and their friends short the market to gain an incredible amount of money

I'd say Gnome, since I'm so used to it that I feel it doesn't get in the way of the things I'm doing.
Because that would be my aim: something that doesn't interfere with the work I am doing.
Is there really a line which isn't quotable in this movie?
If you have the possibility to work remotely, this might help a lot.
On a side note, there is something I feel I have to be honest towards you: Jure Sanguinis is a gimmick of the fascist party (they are so fond of Latin names).
They think you have more right to be Italian if your grandfather left the country, because it was a shit place job-wise as it is now, and you know fuck all of our culture than if you lived here your whole life, perfectly integrated, went through school here, work here, pay taxes here but just happened to be born in another country: a friend of mine from Albania had to jump through incredible hoops and managed to get citizenship at 26 despite living here since she was fucking 2 y.o.
Do what you will with this information.
I meant "Bruxelles" as a figurative "European Union" since the EU headquarters are there.
I make it clear because I don't want to be mistaken for empowering Belgium. /s
Italian living in Italy here.
Yes we have fascists but the americans who commented this post ignore a couple things:
- our form of government is different from yours, the multi-partisan system helps keeping those things in check;
- Italy is a founding member of EU and is financially depending on it, so even the fascist know that they cannot just do what they want, otherwhise Bruxelles might pull the plug.
Thus said, the problem here is another: jobs. There is a high level of unemployment, expecially among people that don't work in super specialized environments, like engineering, CS or healthcare, just to make some examples. I have a lot of friends and relatives that had to move abroad just to make a living.
And I mean A LOT: my best friend lives in Australia, my brother in Ireland, literally half of the company I hanged out with as a teenager lives in Holland and I myself lived in Spain for a couple years before getting an opportunity here. So, unless you work one of these jobs I suggest you to priorityze another country.

Build a Pedal - Series on loops.video
I wanted to test the new federated social loops.video and since I gifted myself a new holiday project I though it would be cool to document it and share it with the FOSS community here on Lemmy.
Let me know what you think, Happy Holidays to everyone.

Ibanez RC320 electronics upgrade
As I said in the last post I made, I had the intention to upgrade the guts of my newly bought guitar. I switched out potentiometers and pickup selector for something that wouldn't feel as cheap, added a coil split mode through push/push pot and added a treble bleed to brighten up the tone. Everything I needed I found on Thomann.
Here's the schematics I made with DIY Layout Creator, which is a really cool piece of free software that I can only recommend if you're into this sort of stuff. You can find it on FlatHub as well.

Did a walk-in tonight and I picked the most beautiful of them all
To be honest, I didn't need another guitar...
... but I had such a good deal with this guitar that I couldn't miss the opportunity.
I started being interested in this kind of design since Squier reissued the Toronado in its Paranormal series, based on an old Fender model discontinued in '06.
And I found out that Ibanez gave such a design a chance in 2012 with the Roadcore Series and in particular with this mid-tier model: the RC320.
While searching some information about it, I found a listing of a guy selling one not far from where I live. It was a really, really good bargain so I ended up buying it.
The guitar is a distillate of features from all the most iconic guitars manufactured in the last century: it has a mahogany body and humbuckers like a Les Paul or a PRS, an offset shape like a Jazzmaster/Jaguar, a 648mm scale and a bolt on ma

New pedal on the board
Following the post of this week, I'm really happy of how it turned out.
Now I can retire my old Beringer TO800
Birthday present arrived
For my birthday I gifted myself a DIY Pedal Kit: it's a clone of a quite famous effect, can you guess what it is?
Terminator voice: I'm back!
So, I had this amp lying around in my father's basement for a while now. 13 years to be precise: It was my first practice amp back when I bought my first electric guitar. The circuit wasn't half bad, had a cool gritty marshally sound with an analogical spring reverb, but unfortunately the speaker was trash.
30 watts RMS are hard to handle for an 8 inches cheap speaker, so one morning, after an intense early '00s punk rock rehersal it simply went BZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz..... and it was gone.
And finding a new speaker that wouldn't blow up again, expecially one with such required specifications, was something I couldn't achieve 13 years ago. So eventually I gave up searching for spares and I bought a new amp.
Fast forward to a couple months ago, I need a small practice amp to carry around, now that I have a new band after a log time.
I remembered the existence of this relic from the past, went to my dad's house and I was surprised he didn't throw it away after all of this time.

Still together, almost 15 years later
This friend was gifted to me by my next door neighbour in 2009, when I was 17 and it has been love ever since.
Today it was it's cleaning day: I cleaned it all up, scraped the gunk from the fretboard and polished the frets with car scratch remover and at the end it came out so fine that made me want to share a picture with the community.
Take care of your instruments and they will last for a long time.
Suggestion please: overdive pedal
Hi everyone who's reading: I'm looking for an overdrive pedal that can go into distortion as well when pushed to high gain (or vice versa). I'm using a TS9 clone now and while I love the sound it provides, it cannot go into full distortion. Is there something that woulf help my needs? Plus point if it's a "budget" one
Today I'm upgrading my guitar
Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode.
Wish me luck.

My latest project is done
Last month a friend of mine gifted me his 1997 Epiphone Les Paul 100. He bought it at a pawn shop 15 years ago, played twice and left it at his parents' house since.
It was all beat up and dusty, the wood was so dry and brittle that when I poured olive oil in the truss rod shaft, it made the sound of someone taking the last sip of soda with a straw.
The stock electronics were really cheap to begin with and all this time made them disgustingly crunchy.
And one of the previous owners swapped the stock knobs with four Strat style tone knobs, which should be enough to be condemned for war crimes and be waterboarded for years.
So I spent the last month rummaging second hand websites and shops for spare parts. The best deal I got was finding these w
