Color Out of Space

A couple of days ago, I watched a film that in some ways was the most intriguing cinematic experience in a very long time, not because it was overtly shocking or even original occurrence.

“Color Out of Space”, directed by Richard Stanley, is a visually captivating journey into the realm of cosmic horror, drawing heavily from the surreal, unsettling worlds of the American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. The film's strength lies in its vivid, almost hypnotic imagery, prioritizing a sensory experience over a straightforward narrative. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this is not a conventional horror film but rather a deep dive into a psychedelic, otherworldly nightmare.

My distros

More than five years ago, I made the switch from Windows to Linux, and since then, I’ve explored and used four different Linux distributions for at least some months. My first stop was Linux Mint, which provided a fantastic experience and served as the perfect bridge between Windows and the Linux world. I stuck with Mint for 13 months.

AI getting better and better

It's amazing to see how the AI technology is getting better almost every day.

Last year, I wrote an article on Artificial Intelligence and Plato's cardinal virtues—though I originally wrote it in Bosnian. Recently, I came across an intriguing claim online that Google's NotebookLM can generate podcasts featuring virtual hosts who discuss a topic based on an article or video. Naturally, I was curious, so I uploaded my article on the cardinal virtues and Plato's ethics, and asked NotebookLM to create a podcast episode about it.

In Prague again

I just got back from a trip to Prague with the M5 classes from my school. As always, Prague was amazing. I can honestly say it’s one of my favorite cities, and one of the few places I don’t mind visiting over and over.

Just like last year, we took a bus that took about thirteen hours. At around 2 p.m., we had a guided tour of the Old City. Later, we had dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant called Paprika, located in Holešovice. I had chicken skewers with French fries. It was pretty good.

Using Linux for five years

2024-09-06 by dino

Five years ago, I made the switch from Windows to Linux, and I haven’t looked back since. I started my journey with Linux Mint, where I stayed for a while. It was a great introduction to Linux, and I still recommend it to anyone seeking a Windows alternative. After Mint, I transitioned to Ubuntu for a bit before finally settling on Debian, which I’ve been using since late 2021.

Currently, I use Debian, though not the stable version. I prefer the Testing branch (codename Trixie), which is essentially a testing ground for what will become Debian 13 in about a year or so.
