lobotomizing Windows for fun, diary of a masochistic Linux slime 

So for reasons I am looking into having a second, smaller drive for running Windows 10. However those who know me well can probably infer it will look nothing like a normal windows install (and be right). I like removing as many system components as possible, and replacing them with open source hobbyist replacements that don't rely on Windows update. You can probably guess a few defaults applications I will purge before I even let an installer hit my disk with I/O. I will modify the install with some tools used by IT administrators who customize windows images, find out exactly what is required to run a windows binary using GPU acceleration on my device, and then immediately begin making even more drastic changes before I even touch replacing the default userspace. Something I am looking into is using BTRFs for Windows. Yup. You heard me right. This will require replacing the bootloader with one that can load Windows off of Btrfs, so that once the ntfs to Btrfs in-place conversion is finished Windows can still boot. Here is the bootloader project for anyone else who has serious personal issues: github.com/maharmstone/quibble
Then at that point, I can take and manage btrfs snapshots of my Windows 10 install from my Linux drive, and not to mention easily mount files and folders from either OS. In practice I will be chainloading this homebrew bootloader from Grub2 which I already have configured to boot directly into snapshots of my Arch Linux. So while I might not get grub-btrfs automatic snapshots (for Windows) on the Grub2 menu, Linux will always be a rock-solid recovery option, and will be able to rollback irreparable changes I've made by grievously mangling the fundamental default Windows 10 userspace elements via snapshotting. I'm gonna delete explorer.exe with NO FEAR.

Dragon Ball Z, pregnancy mention, gay sex 

I bet if a saiyan guy goes super they can get another dude pregnant with anal via sheer willpower.

I am reading about the weird ancap seasteading fantasy stuff and looking at what these people think. Since crypto and finance bros are a big part of it now, somebody realized that ultimately people need to, you know, **dock somewhere**. So a user on r/seasteading has invented sealording, *leasing* out *pier space* to seastead buildings like shops. Of course since this is just some gullible american, they can only think of two types of businesses. Very funny to me.

At this point I guess the appeal is they can go offshore to somewhere else when their business gets in trouble with the law lmao.

Recently, I shared about the devastating, life-sapping experience of losing custody of my 6-yr-old, who I haven't seen in >3 years. Being erased from her life is a great tragedy for me and for an innocent kid being deprived of a loving, present dad. Racism constantly creates generational trauma.

I've found a lawyer I trust to help reunite us. I’ll need $3k for the retainer and quite a bit more to go the distance. THANK YOU for your support!

If GitHub is going to make a game of making development processes into social media then maybe I should get a little badge for all the issues I open which are deleted without being reviewed.

Trans George Costanza: You're in the middle of a date and you *chanced* it?

Trans Jerry: They had the vibe of a "she"!! I didn't know!

Trans George: Unbelievable. You don't do the pronoun peek.

Trans Jerry: What's to peek?

Trans George: You go to the bathroom and check their socials on you phone! The pronouns are gonna be there somewhere

Trans Jerry: What if you haven't interacted online?

[Trans George gives Trans Jerry an "are you kidding me" look, audience laughs]

that's very impudent and impatient small british child of you

Part of me wonders if this is linked to European politics of blood.

Why is "bloody" considered profanity? As the only counterpart to "fuck" in the very small category of "words English language can infix" it just seems so pathetic and childish. It is like a little pathetic English boy is trying his hardest to be rude, but is too scared to use a real curse every time I read it. Whenever I read authors who use it I am immediately losing immersion. There is simply no way an adult would say that as a curse, im-fucking-possible.
