38383939Well, to answer your question, again you are not supposed to do anything but tha-
4040···78787979What do you think you have been doing till now :) The problem isn't you asking me a question, the problem is you asking an answer. You refuse to think about it, you refuse to take on that burden because you are afraid of what your answer could be
80808181-…
8181+But if others hate me, what will I do? How will I live completely alone?
8282+8383+Why do you live?
8484+8585+What do you mean why do I live?
8686+8787+I mean why are you still alive, if you don't have any hope, why haven't you killed yourself?
8888+8989+Because people I care about, my parents, my friends, would be sad if I died
9090+9191+So you live for others?
9292+9393+Isn't that good enough?
9494+9595+You are making excuses, just like you always do. Pretending to be the forever victim, the one who couldn't have done any wrong, the one who fate has robbed at every turn.
82968397…
84988585-So I don't need other people?
9999+You like having othes depend upon you, even if for the very smallest of the things, it satisfies that twisted little mind of yours, it makes you feel worth something.
100100+101101+That could be…
102102+103103+If you want real happiness, you have got to find it for yourself, not wait for somebody to give it to you! Isn't that what you have been doing?
104104+105105+I am worthless, nobody needs me.
106106+107107+You seek your value in the perce
108108+109109+AHHH SHUT UP!!!
110110+111111+ption of others. Do you fear being alone? You're afraid that you will lose your identity if others leave you
112112+113113+JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!! HOW CAN A FLOATING VOICE EVEN DARE TELL ME THAT!!
114114+115115+You're afraid that you will disappear from the mind of others. Each conversation they have that doesn't involve you, each inside joke that you are not part of, each knowing glance that you can't decipher scares you. Isn't that right?
116116+117117+No it is not, I want to be alone, I don't feel emotions since a long time, I have not cried in 5 years, I have always been alone and I like being alone. That is the reason I left my home and came to a new city for school. I want to be alone.
118118+119119+Was it really that or did you just want the attention to yourself? Tired of the fact that your brother was the one your mother has always liked more? What about when your entire family had that car crash and your mother kept looking for him, not even bothering to look at you? Or how your father was so focused on getting your mother in the hospital that he just left you with a stranger, with a broken and bleeding foot and a detached ear? How old were you then, 13?
120120+121121+I did not do it for attention. And anyways, nowadays they DO focus more on me!
122122+123123+Yes, after your brother disappointed them for 5 years straight. Huh, the same amount of years that took you to regain their trust after exactly two lies!! Do you think things will remain the same once he regains it too, as he is currently doing, or will they revert back to how things actually were? A 3 year old boy getting beaten up because he wanted his favourite song to play, a 8 year old getting beaten because his hand writing is not that good, a 15 year old getting beaten up because somebody stole the handle grips from his bicycle?
124124+125125+Even if they do, I don't care, things have always been like that and I have made my peace with it
126126+127127+Have you really?

1111-1212-But who am I?
1313-1414-You are me
1515-1616-And who is speaking?
1717-1818-I am you
1919-2020-Well that doesn't make any sense
2121-2222-It doesn't have to
2323-2424-But it has to! What am I supposed to do if nothing makes sense?
2525-2626-You are not supposed to do anything
2727-2828-How am I even supposed to live then? If I am supposed to do nothing, what am I even here for?
2929-3030-You use the word "supposed" a lot, don't you?
3131-3232-...
3333-3434-One of the quiter ones huh
3535-3636-I am not quite!
3737-3838-Well, to answer your question, again you are not supposed to do anything but tha-
3939-4040-So I am not even supposed to live then?
4141-4242-Let me complete first, yes you are not supposed to do anything but that is different than "supposed to do nothing" you know
4343-4444-You are just confusing me, if I am not supposed to do anything, what is the point of doing /*ANYTHING*/?
4545-4646-Again, there is no point
4747-4848-So it doesn't matter if I die?
4949-5050-Death is the only certainty in life as you people say, why do you think yours will be any different this time
5151-5252-Even my parents won't remember me?
5353-5454-They will, but they too will move on
5555-5656-No they won't! They love me!
5757-5858-Yes they love you, but they WILL move on, the same way you moved on from that doll you loved as a kid
5959-6060-I just grew up...
6161-6262-So will they. The same way you continue to live on, they will too
6363-6464-If there is no point to anything then why even bother doing anything? Why should I eat? Why should I sleep? Why should I love? Why should I care?
6565-6666-The fact that there is no point, is THE entire point. Nothing needs to make sense because sense is not needed for you to function. You fear things out of your control, that is your bane
6767-6868-Of course I do! I am a human you know, of course I am going to fear things that can hurt me
6969-7070-But you fear things that have no impact on you. You dress up just so people on the street don't mock you, you fear being yourself just so others will like you. Just consider that girl you have a crush on, you analyse every move, both yours and hers, trying to find a signal that may or may not even be there!
7171-7272-So what! Should I just stop caring about others? If nothing matters, should I just go around punching random kids on the street!
7373-7474-You are still doing the same, just dumping the responsibilty of that answer on me
7575-7676-I can't even ask you a question?!
7777-7878-What do you think you have been doing till now :) The problem isn't you asking me a question, the problem is you asking an answer. You refuse to think about it, you refuse to take on that burden because you are afraid of what your answer could be
7979-8080-...
8181-8282-...
8383-8484-So I don't need other people?

55-#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
66-77-* Déjà vu?
88-The three people that may have read a previous iteration of this blog on the previous iteration of this website, that I accidentaly nuked while changing the framework from hugo to astro, are requested to pretend this is some fresh piece of writing.
99-1010-:::caution
1111-Yes, I am THAT stupid
1212-:::
1313-1414-Regardless, if you want to hear me ramble more about a topic I don't fully understand, continue on!!
1515-1616-* What is Guix?
1717-In its own [[https://guix.gnu.org/en/about/][words]],
1818-1919-#+begin_quote
2020- The GNU Guix package and system manager is a free software project developed by volunteers around the world under the umbrella of the GNU Project.
2121-#+end_quote
2222-2323-#+begin_quote
2424-Guix System is a distribution of the GNU operating system. It uses the Linux-libre kernel, and support for the Hurd is being worked on. As a GNU distribution, it is committed to respecting and enhancing the freedom of its users. As such, it adheres to the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines.
2525-#+end_quote
2626-2727-#+begin_quote
2828-GNU Guix provides state-of-the-art package management features such as transactional upgrades and roll-backs, reproducible build environments, unprivileged package management, and per-user profiles. It uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, but packages are defined as native Guile modules, using extensions to the Scheme language—which makes it nicely hackable.
2929-#+end_quote
3030-3131-#+begin_quote
3232-Guix takes that a step further by additionally supporting stateless, reproducible operating system configurations. This time the whole system is hackable in Scheme, from the initial RAM disk to the initialization system, and to the system services.
3333-#+end_quote
3434-3535-Guix is a distro intended for geeks, incidentally pronounced that way too. There is no way to sugarcoat it, there is an inherent difficulty to these things, if you find Arch difficult to use, you shouldn't use Nix, if you can't use Nix, you should probably stay away from Guix, and if you can master Guix... you still won't be able to use Windows without borking it!
3636-3737-** Story Time
3838-I have been on linux since I was 13 (2018) and in my 7 years of using it, it has been exactly 3 times when I was hugely excited about linux itself, not some tooling related to it or any work I did using it, linux itself.
3939-4040-4141-*** The Beginnings
4242-First was when I discovered Linux, in the form of Ubuntu which at that time had not gone down the drain. My laptop was a brand-new Dell laptop with i3 6th gen CPU, 4 gigabytes of RAM and a whopping 1 TB of Hard Disk capacity, I had worked with PC's before this (I learned how to play /Surma Sarela/ and /Bhalu Lagdu Bhanuli/ on my father's computer when I was 3) but it had been mostly superficial with only a little dabbling in the Front-End development space due to the encouragement from my /Chachu/ (Uncle). But I digress, as you would expect this did not lead to me being an expert in all things computer and I borked that laptop many times on Windows. Eventually I read a little about Ubuntu on the internet and figured well why not?! What do I have to lose! The process was not very difficult and I managed to install it. Suprisingly, the transition was very smooth (it speaks to its quality that even a 13 year old ME was able to install and use it) and I would wait for every update, and this would lead to me becoming addicted to this excitement, becoming the ill-fated *Distro-Hopper*.
4343-4444-*** Mid-Life Crisis
4545-When 2020 with its Covid Craziness^TM hit, I found myself with a lot of free time on my hand
