  • My test of Timeshift was pretty simple and straightforward.

    1. Fresh install Linux Mint

    2. Install most of the main software I wanted.

    3. Do a Timeshift backup.

    4. Install some extra software I didn’t necessarily need, but might want to use someday.

    5. Restore the backup from step 3.

    Results: Everything from step 4 was still registered as installed, but almost nothing from step 4 actually worked.

    So I brute force reinstalled everything in place, and haven’t used Timeshift since. I’m perfectly comfortable using the terminal, and at worst a live boot media, to fix any issues that might come up.







  • One time, I had a dream where I was eating something (I totally forget what it was), and the smell and taste was like the most putrid mix of vomit and sewage.

    When I woke up, even though I hadn’t actually eaten anything, that smell and taste sensation stuck with me all day. I had absolutely no appetite that day.

    The very next day I was extra hungry, and the bacon, eggs and biscuit I had for breakfast tasted so damn good, it was almost as if I had never eaten an awesome meal before.
