  • Just finished Death's End, by Cixin Liu which is the last volume of Remembrance of Earth's past trilogy (better known from the title of the first book The three body problem). I enjoyed very much the 3 novels, great Sci-fi and I also learned many things about Chinese culture through translator notes. (note: I've not seen the Netflix show before reading it, because I hate watching movies about novels I have not read, it block too much the mental image I do reading the book, therefore limiting the amazement of reading).

    Next, I decided not to read the fan fiction sequel but rather what is presented as a prequel: Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu.

  • So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works... Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it... Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on

  • As of now, I backup stuff (mainly pictures) from my phone to a linux file server using rsync in termux (launched through the tasker plugin and automate). I search a replacement to get rid of the automate application that I need only for that, is not Foss and require to run in background in order to use it. Do you think Syncthing can deserve my use case ? Of course I can RTFM but...

  • Not sure, people outside IT world, at least in my country, still speak about the "Microsoft crash" and don't know at all about Crowdstrike. Now that make me think that MS will probably try to sue them for the "ravages" to their corporate image.

  • About 1/3 in The three-body problem, by Cixin Liu. Enjoying it so far, the only drawback is that I'm a bit lost between characters names but that's not so rare for me. I think I'll read the trilogy this summer.

    I take note of The Passage for future, as an amateur of S. King stuff I might enjoy it, thanks.

  • Just finished Behind her eyes, by Sarah Pinborough. Found it very nice, a good page turner. The ending was unexpected.

    I don't know yet what will be next (probably I'll find in this conversation or another from this community as almost always).

    Edit: Started The three-body problem, by Cixin Liu. Seen a comment about it in this post and I remember having heard about it at the radio or so. Plus I'm thrilled to discover Chinese literature.
