A British wizard travels to New York City, but his case full of endangered magical creatures causes trouble in a city that already has its own creature problem.

Weak characters, a shit plot with lots of filler and generally unlikeable. Especially bad in light of the earlier movies set in this universe. God that main character is fucking terrible to watch.

I will forever misremember this title as Fantastic Breasts and Where to Find Them. No fantastic breasts were found in this movie.

Avoid, especially if you like the Harry Potter series!

Based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – (2001 book), by “Newt Scamander” (J. K. Rowling)

Having fallen from grace, two friends are reunited in their pursuit of ghosts, eventually forming a band of four who fight them. And stuff.

This is neither a sequel to the actual Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), nor is it anything in its style or quality. It’s just a theft of the franchise. It shits all over it. Ignoring all of that, it’s still an awful movie on its own.

This is not a comedy! Don’t mistake it for one! The only funny scene had nothing to do with the main characters.

This is a steaming pile of shit. Do not watch it!

This is officially non-cannon.

Smart synchronization / excellent mirroring program

Though legendarily-difficult to comprehend, it does work well.

If you are a beginner, AVOID THIS PROGRAM! .. you will hate your life.

NOTE – I have included some very old notes.
- I’ve been using rsync with good success for backups. See my backup project.

My policy in general is to have as few moving parts as possible. The few inter-dependant projects, the simpler the software, the more straightforward the setup is the easier everything becomes.

PulseAudio is a steaming pile of shit which I’ve never had working correctly. Even finding basic documentation on how to use it isn’t out there.

Brought to you by the author of systemd, so you know it’s Evil.

A keyboard-oriented window manager.

Clunky in places, and some things were non-obvious and needed some reading.

My hands hurt after using it for a little while, because the default hotkeys are Wrong. Heck, the defaults aren’t just “not for me”, the defaults are bad. Because of poor documentation, it’s too much work for me to figure out how to customize it the way I want.

Abandoned – No longer under development, forked into notion

A documentary-style mini-series that touches on bunches of the history of western science, but then gets absolutely horrifyingly abysmally wrong. So wrong as to be a bunch of lies.
