So I’ve heard that Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is one of the more misunderstood and misused books out there. I work with young men and boys and would like to know what actually is in this book since it’s often quoted in the manosphere. However, it’s quite hard to read and understand.

I had fewer problems when reading The myth of Sisyphus. I think this is partly because it’s more contemporary but also because it’s easier to find what philosophers think about the book. When googling Marcus Aurelius I get a lot of the popular quote mining that doesn’t help me understand more about what he is writing about.

So, does anyone here have any suggestions on resources that could help me when reading this book? If you could recommend some reading companion book or similar that would be awesome!

So I've upgraded to trixie and it comes with apt 3. For some reason the new apt insists on opening the output of some commands in less. For example, "apt list --upgradable" or "apt search" opens the output i less. I can't find how I turn this behavior off. Any advice?

Say that you suddenly wake up in the year 1875. You end up talking to someone and you want to convince them that you’re from the future. How do you do that?

At long last I'm finally switching operating system for my gaming PC. I have a lot of photos and such saved that have been moved from an NTFS drive. Is there any tool out there to help me fix the permissions of these files according to file type in bulk?
