A web browser which is essentially a fork of Firefox. Pale Moon keeps the simpler UI before the astonishingly terrible changes Firefox made.
A very good browser. Newer addons targeting the latest Firefox which are addicted to its new interface will not work with Pale Moon, since Pale Moon lacks that interface. Older addons or proper UI-agnostic addons will work fine.
TODO – add additional notes

A cryptographic filesystem.
A fantastic concept and program which I used heavily for a long time across multiple Linux distributions.

Be aware that attacks on people, hardware and implementation are the go-to methods for defeating encryption. Some points:
- A legal or physical threat, lies and other social engineering.
- A hardware or software keylogger. Are you typing your password on a keyboard and computer you control?

eCryptfs-mount.sh is my helper script.

Music has some notes on my taste, which apply to Trance.
I have a particular love of female vocal progressive trance. It’s lighthearted and romantic. I’ve been listening to this style and sub-style of music for a while now. I intend to keep listening, and I like to share the things I love. Isn’t that what love is? If you like my curating, then you’re in for a treat.

A filesystem I use because of checksumming and de-duplication.
Very good, although I’ve had a sketchy history with it. I’ve used multiple versions of it, sometimes mounting the same partition with different versions of it.
I stopped using it because I lost trust in its reliability.
- B-tree file system
- I have some btrfs scripts in git
- Checksumming helps with The Chain of Trust.

A down-and-out traveler discovers a pair of sunglasses which let him see through the illusions aliens have been using to control mankind.
With overtones of the manipulation of the everyman, I would easily put this movie in the same class as Nineteen Eighty-Four. However, the otherwise weighty impact is cushioned by comedy, great characters and a great story. Though old, this movie stands the test of time. Easily considered satirical-horror, there’s much more to it.
This is, in a sense, a bubblegum movie that delivers a subtler message. It tickles the viewer’s cognitive dissonance. Some viewers will easily “get it”, and some will merely find it entertaining. I hope those between those two groups will be particularly intrigued.
Mandatory viewing.

Highly recommended – Mnemonics, multiple pictures for stroke order and details for each character’s difficulty level give this book a completely different approach from the others I own.
Feel free to change the Amazon.com URL from .com to your language of choice. Odds are good that it’ll be available from another amazon.foo website.
