  • Islam gets around this the same way they get around no sex before marriage. With a bullshit workaround that god is totally cool with because it follows the letter but not the spirit. You can marry someone for an hour and then divorce them. Totally halal prostitution.

    A loan with interest these days for 1 million USD at 6% interest over 20 years will have you end up paying 2.5Million for that 1 Million house. It’s bullshit but it is a system that somewhat works. If interest goes up you pay more, interest go down you pay less unless you have locked in at a fixed rent.

    In Islam the banks still want to make money of course so they just pre calculate this and call it a fee. It ends up being interest, baked in at a fixed price.




  • Cringe take. I’ts just a fun pretty system monitor tool. I work as a senior cloud architect. I have 10 years of pretty heavy professional and home Linux usage and I just installed it on my home server because I have a unused 1/3 on one of my monitors at home where it can just live forever inside tmux.

    It’s fun to see Plex take more resources because someone started a stream, or see the different parts of kubernetes working when I start a few containers. I have also added a drive to my btrfs raid so I was interested in seeing what kinda load the re balance did on the system over time. Turns out not much. It’s a fun tool.

    I use different tools on the several Azure environments I am part of maintaining lol.









  • I currently have four Linux installations:

    Worklaptop: Ubuntu 22.04

    Personal Laptop: Fedora 38

    Home Server : Fedora 38

    Raspberrypi: Raspbian

    Happy with all really. They all nice and stable.

    They are running defaults. So Gnome Desktop, very few changes. I have started always installing Tmux and forcing myself to use that since I often log into a server and that helps a lot with managing multiple tasks and coming back to tasks later. Using it locally is also sweet since switching between windows is nicer with the keyboard in Tmux than in Gnome-terminal.
