Agony over?

For the past two months, I've been struggling with a peculiar issue on my main computer. It runs Debian Linux as its operating system, which has been a joy to use ever since I switched from Windows back in late August 2019. Alongside it, I rely on a sturdy Synology NAS primarily for backups, and a Raspberry Pi Model 4 equipped with an external hard drive for storing my video and music files. The Raspberry Pi runs DietPi with Jellyfin as the media server, allowing seamless streaming of my files to my TV.

When File Manager Hands You Lemons and How AI Turned Them Into Lemonade

Yet another nerdy post, but mostly at the end of the post.
Even though I love spending my spare time on my computer, I also must come to a conclusion that computers suck sometimes. I know, heavy words from someone who appreciates those pesky metal beings, but they also give us so many unnecessary headaches in most weird situations and times.

Twenty years of the blog

Some time ago, I set a reminder to write about what it means to have a blog that’s been alive for years now. It’s honestly amazing—and a little surreal—that I’ve been doing this for so long. Time is relentless, moving forward without pause, whether we’re ready or not.

I want to make clear that I am not talking about the domain avdibeg.dk, but the actual blog. I registered the domain on March 22, 2022, but the website with a blog section was born on November 11, 2024. Until then, I used to write single webpages, and there was no blog.

Prije 16 godina

Ovaj tekst sam napisao na Facebooku prije tačno šesnaest godina:

Nakon nepunih godinu dana, ponovo sam doveo kćerku u kino. Ovaj put smo se nas dvoje prijavili u Vejle Skolebio, kino za djecu i omladinu. Mi smo, naravno, u timu najmlađih koji imaju priliku vidjeti crtane i igrane filmove namjenjene njihovom uzrastu.

S obzirom da mi je još uvijek u jako dobrom sjećanju naša prva zajednička bioskopska pustolovina, očekivao sam svašta, međutim kćerka je ovaj put bila dosta mirnija, iako ni sada nije mogla baš u potpunosti da miruje, ali i kako će kada joj je tek četiri godine? Tako da sam zaista više nego zadovoljan njenim ponašanjem u kinu, ali i razočaran glavnim animiranim filmom kojeg smo gledali. Hajde dobro, nisam ja toliko ni bitan u ovom kontekstu, ali ni kćerkici nije bio zanimljiv “Bennys badekar” koji joj ni u jednom trenutku nije privukao veću pažnju. I zaista, kao da su ga pravili ljudi sa malo više hašiša u krvi, slaba animacija, loši i isprekidani dijalozi, mješane boje… Niđe veze.

Sreća pa su prije glavnom filma prikazali nekoliko kratkih filmova, koji su bili dosta zanimljiviji: Per Flyov “Den lille ridder”, Den lille gris flyver” i još jedan crtani kojem sam, nažalost, zaboravio ime.

Switching back to Devuan?

After running Debian almost continuously for two and half years, I've decided to switch to Devuan. You might wonder why I’m moving away from Debian after such a positive experience. The truth is, I craved a bit of excitement in my life, or maybe I was just feeling bored during my fall break. I even wrote recently that I wasn’t looking for new adventures anytime soon, and while that was true, Devuan feels like a familiar territory—it's essentially Debian, but without systemd.
