Sukob bez kraja

Izraelsko-palestinski konflikt.
Tako je teško napisati nešto o ovoj temi, a da se pri tome ne stekne mnoštvo neprijatelja. Ne postoji konflikt na zemaljskoj kugli koji više polarizira ljude tokom političke diskusije. Ako neko kritikuje Izrael, proglašavaju ga antisemitom, a ako se kaže nešto loše o potezima palestinske vlade ili njihovih političkih organizacija, vrlo brzo te proglase cionistom i islamofobom. Smatram da je tako jer je dopušteno da ovaj sukob traje više od osam decenija, a u njemu učestvuju, osim Izraela i Palestine, i brojne svjetske i regionalne sile. Cijeli svijet je imao dovoljno vremena da zauzme stav i svrsta se uz jednu stranu, ali je se vrlo malo uradilo da se dođe do trajnog rješenja. Dugotrajnost ovog sukoba je radikalizirala milione ljudi po ovom pitanju, na obje strane, tako da se jednostavno nema razumijevanja za stajalište suprotstavljene strane. Drugim rječima, mnogi su i oguglali po pitanju ovog sukoba, a nerijetko se i dehumanizira druga strana.

Debian is home

Like many Linux users, I occasionally get the urge to distro-hop. It's part of the fun. It's a genuine feeling of freedom. All these different Linux distributions are basically calling you to try them out. Exploring different philosophies, package managers, init systems, and communities.

So I recently stepped away from my trusty Debian setup to try Arch Linux, Void Linux, even Fedora and Manjaro. All excellent in their own ways. I wanted to explore other options, because, you see, I've got a new hardware a few months ago, and initially Debian stable was not very good friends with it. The kernel could not recognize my Ethernet and wireless cards, for instance. I was devastated, knowing that I might have to look elsewhere, even only temporarily, in order to have a working computer with optimized hardware. So, I looked at alternative solutions within Linux universe.

Zim, my PKM of choice

I have always been interested in knowledge, both acquiring and retaining it. That's the reason I am obsessed with organizing my files and folder into logical structures. Previously, I wrote about my latest organization of my digital files.

Prague, once again

For the third year in a row, I found myself heading to Prague with my students. At this point, it’s starting to feel like a tradition, one I’m secretly happy to keep. This trip was smooth from start to finish. The students behaved wonderfully, which meant I could actually enjoy the city instead of worrying about logistics and annoyances. The trip itself was traditionally a bit exhausting, since I am never able to sleep in the bus.

Burger

Man, I'm not going to lie: I make great burgers. This is the result of my effort this afternoon. The girls were happy.
