Bullsh*t advices that people give every time

2026-07-21T00:00:00+00:00

Introduction</h1>
Have you ever heard someone saying “It happens for a reason” and thought to yourself really? wtf does it even mean in the current situation if yes trust me a lot of us does here them. In the following blog we would explore more of these BS advice that people give as believing them of being “positive” or “good” but in real life they are just BS.
And if you want to read more about a certain phenomenon or a effect i have linked up the references below each advice. So happy reading lets break some common thinking barriers today.
</a>

Be positive</h1>
Life can be incredibly challenging, and it is perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed at times. The goal isn’t to avoid negative emotions, but to become skilled at processing them. Learn how to truly experience sadness, happiness, anger, and grief. Embrace these feelings rather than suppressing them, and you will build genuine emotional resilience.
</a>

Book: Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life by Susan David.</li>
Concept: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes feeling emotions without letting them dictate your actions.</li> </ul> </a>
Manifest it</h1>
When you focus on something or practice “manifesting,” you naturally start noticing related things in your surroundings. It is not that these opportunities weren’t there before; your brain is simply highlighting them now. This psychological focus is a wonderful and useful tool! The issue arises when people rely on pseudo-cosmological explanations—the idea that the universe is magically handing you opportunities—rather than acknowledging their own brain’s incredible pattern-recognition abilities.
</a>
Reference</h4>

Concept: The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon (Frequency Illusion) and the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in neuroscience.</li> </ul> </a>
Money can’t buy happiness.</h1>
The old saying “money cannot buy happiness” isn’t entirely accurate. A better way to frame it is: “Money can buy away unhappiness.” The less money you have, the more a financial boost will improve your well-being by removing foundational stressors (housing, food, healthcare). However, once you reach a comfortable baseline where your basic needs are met, additional wealth provides diminishing returns on your overall, day-to-day happiness.
And as my friend describes it in one line as “Wealth doesn’t manufacture bliss; it just silences the anxiety.”
</a>
Reference</h4>

Study: High income improves evaluation of life but not emotional well-being (2010) by Nobel laureates Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton.</li> </ul> </a>
Never give up</h1>
While persistence is valuable, it is equally important to learn when to give up. We have countless opportunities in life, and for most people, it is futile to keep pouring energy into something that consistently yields no results. Quitting strategically is a vital life skill. If you are putting in the effort, you should eventually see some kind of return; if not, pivoting to a path better suited for you is a highly positive and proactive step forward.
</a>
Reference</h4>

Book: The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick) by Seth Godin.</li>
Concept: Overcoming the Sunk Cost Fallacy in behavioral economics.</li> </ul> </a>
Follow your passion</h1>
Passion is rarely the cause of excellence; it is actually the effect of becoming exceptionally good at something. Instead of blindly following a pre-existing passion, follow your potential. Build rare, valuable skills, and as you gain mastery and autonomy, genuine passion for your work will naturally follow. Studies show most of the gaming addicts can’t leave gaming not because they love the game but because they are at a point where they are too good in it and now they try to chase that feeling every time.
</a>
Reference</h4>

Book: So Good They Can’t Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love by Cal Newport.</li> </ul> </a>
Love conquers all</h1>
Love alone does not fix a bad relationship, nor does it resolve deep-seated trust issues. Love doesn’t magically turn someone into a healthy partner if they lack the necessary interpersonal skills. Love is not enough on its own; it acts as an amplifier for whatever dynamics—good or bad—are already present. True connection requires effort, compatibility, trust, and mutual respect alongside love.
</a>
Reference</h4>

Book: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck (Specifically the chapter titled “Love is Not Enough”) by Mark Manson.</li> </ul>* </a>
Everything for a reason</h1>
The phrase “everything happens for a reason” can sometimes act as an unhealthy coping mechanism for those who want an easy way out of dealing with reality. The universe doesn’t necessarily have a pre-written plan for every setback. Instead, it is a highly empowering realization that it is your job to learn from the painful moments in your life and forge your own meaning, rather than waiting for the universe to send a signal.
</a>
Reference</h4>

Book: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl (Logotherapy, which focuses on finding personal meaning in all forms of existence, including suffering).</li> </ul> </a>
Cut toxic people out of your life</h1>
Many people are quick to label others as “toxic” and cut them off, sometimes failing to realize their own role in the conflict. It is genuinely difficult to gauge the difference between healthy friction and actual toxicity. We should maintain a high threshold for completely banishing people from our lives, especially family members. Part of being a mature adult is learning how to get along with difficult people. If you cut people off at the slightest inconvenience, you risk isolating yourself.
</a>
Reference</h4>

Book: Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg (A guide to healthy conflict resolution and developing empathy).</li> </ul> </a>
You need to find closure.</h1>
The neat, perfect idea of “closure”—where you completely understand why you were hurt and wrap it up with a nice mental bow—is mostly a myth. Life is messy, and going back to exes or digging up old traumas in search of this elusive closure often causes more pain. True closure is internal; it happens naturally after you have moved on and found more meaningful pursuits. Once you have healed, you might look back and understand why things happened, but you won’t feel the need to reopen those old doors.
</a>
Reference</h4>

Book: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb (Explores the psychological reality of healing and moving forward without receiving perfect external closure).</li> </ul>
Conclusions</h1>
These are few of the common BS that people commonly gave to me at some point of my life (which as you have guessed were pretty useless). If you liked my blog or want to share some of common life advice people have given to you which didn’t really made any sense you can comment it below I would be more than happy to listen.See yaaaa meet you in the next blog.

Just a short update on my life, Been very busy in past few weeks (and yeah I got 2 blogs pending ). Uni starting soon (fortunately to be honest I am too bored). And I hit pupil in Codeforce . and my dear gf gifted me new books yayyyyyy

would be writing their review once i finish them

Install Artix on ZFS THE CHAD WAY

2026-04-08T00:00:00+00:00

Introduction</h1>
So it happened like always i woke up one day and decided that life isn’t really fun I SHOULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT and as I had lot of free time(the most important requirement for installing Linux is basically being unemployed jk</del>) I decided making the most chad Linux setup that ever exist and it would be Artix with ZFS1</a> you may ask why? That’s what we would find in next section and if you dont wanna hear my yap you can directly skip to Installation</a> section .

Motivation</h2>

If you don’t know the systemd controversy (well congratulations you have a job and a real life) Its just people don’t really like systemd , most of the folks take it as an init system 2</a> but instead its like a glob of pretty much everything which includes networking, containers(somehow but its true) etc. Basically we can say systemd isn’t just an init system—it’s a platform, and that’s exactly why people argue it breaks the Unix philosophy which says “Do one thing and do it well” so instead of you getting “one tool per job” you get “one ecosystem for many jobs” which some of you can think is a good thing i don’t know what to tell you to be honest . You can read more about it on nosystemd</a> PS: its major contributor is redhat iykyk
And as I have previously mentioned my friend Gaspar3</a> suggested (or you can say motivated) me to make the switch and yeah OFC MY ARCH INSTALLATION WAS BADLY BLOATED 
All of this lead to my journey of wasting a week reading 69+ wiki’s just to know how does ZFS even works…and yeah i still failed many times after it
Why ZFS and not BTRFS?</h2>
ZFS is a file system with volume management capabilities which means no more fixed size disk partitions yayyyyyyyyyyyy (you get this in btrfs too btw) but the thing what i wanted was encryption…alright i hear someone shouting LUKS but LISTEN HERE YOU , ZFS supports native encryption which gives you pretty badass freedom to manage your data. Like you can have a unencrypted pool named `tank</code> and have a dataset games</code> which is unencrypted but in same pool you could have personal</code> dataset which would be encrypted.. which for me was mind blowing I could just have a unencrypted pool which some encrypted dataset to have my data.`
`Other features like self healing ,raids and snapshots you can pretty much find anywhere but for me the native encryption was the main feature i was looking for`
`Well some of you may argue that zfs module dosen’t even come in the linux kernel by default its bad V: well then use whatever you like i dont mind as long as its linux (tho we wont call you cool here) . And for people wondering ZFS will never be integrated into the Linux kernel due to it’s licence.`
`Why Artix and not Arch?</h2> `Because Luke Smith4</a> said in this video</a> that Artix users are superior than arch users ZFS Drawbacks</h2> ZFS is an out-of-tree dkms module, and while people use it due to it’s features and because of that, you should not ask support on Arch/Artix Linux forums. </blockquote> The following information is taken from Nwildner’s</a> post as he had compiled everything in a great way Most of the disadvantages of using ZFS</code> on Linux are higlighted on this</a> Arch Wiki article, but, let’s reiterate them: ZFS does not encrypt metadata, meaning some basic structures of your pool like dataset, snapshot names, snapshot hierarchy, and deduplication tables (although deduplicated data is encrypted) might be visible with the adequate tools.</li> Pool creation requires knowledge of disk geometry. With nvmes, some of the pain point for tuning are gone, but not all of them. Swap inside a zvol is not possible and it is an old and well-known issue</a> and you should avoid using it as well as using swapfiles inside ZFS.</li> ZFS has some caveats due to it’s implementation of aes for cryptography and had some performance issues in the past that are now fixed. They had to implement their own mechanisms since they can’t touch kernel algorithms because the module is not licensed as GPL.</li> out-of-tree kernel module. Pretty obvious but, if you don’t want any surprises like your module not being added to the initramfs, pay attention during kernel install procedures or just use linux-lts</code> for better compatibility.</li> If you are a laptop user, disable hibernate(suspend to disk) entirely. Waking your laptop, importing your zfs pool and after that bringing data that is hibernate from swap back to your disk will likely break your zfs pool</a>.</li> </ul> I would only recommend you installing ZFS if you got atleast 16gb of ram as the ram usage for ZFS is higher than a normal traditional file system. </blockquote> So now you know the caveats lets get into the process of installing it. For me I would be installing Artix with Open-rc on ZFS you can adapt this to pretty much any init system. PS: I myself had install artix reading this guide. Installation</h1> Setting up the SSH service</h2> sudo -i # Become root echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config rc-service sshd start # Started the ssh service ip -4 address show scope global # would show the ip ssh root@192.168.1.10 # SSH into the account</code></pre>Adding arch archzfs repo</h2> # Would make installation faster by increasing parallel download sed -i 's/#ParallelDownloads/ParallelDownloads/' /etc/pacman.conf # Add zfs arch repo to /etc/pacman.conf tee -a /etc/pacman.conf << 'EOF' [archzfs] # TODO: Change this to `Required` once it's announced that the signing system is finalized. SigLevel = Never Server = https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs/releases/download/experimental EOF pacman -Sy --noconfirm archzfs-dkms && modprobe zfs</code></pre>Setting up env variables for smooth installation</h2> # timezone INST_TZ=/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kolkata # Hostname INST_HOST='artix' INST_OS='artixlinux' # Mount point INST_MNT=/mnt</code></pre> Choose which kernel you want to install: linux</li> linux-lts</li> linux-zen</li> linux-hardened</li> </ul> INST_LINVAR='linux-zen'</code></pre>Setting up partitions</h2> Now We need 2 partions (which you can create easily using cfdisk</code>): part1</code> = EFI (512mb as its only needed for zfsbootmenu)</li> part2</code>= Root (suggested to be type of solaris root)</li> </ul> Example of good partion: $ fdisk -l /dev/sda Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System /dev/sda2 1050624 83884031 82833408 39.5G Solaris root</code></pre> In your case if you use as SSD the sda1 would be nvme0n1 which parts like nvme0n1p1…p3 here p1 is part 1 and like that </blockquote> Set up the disk variabled as follows DISK=/dev/disk/by-id/nvme-foo_NVMe_bar_512GB DISK_BOOT=${DISK}-part1 DISK_ROOT=${DISK}-part2</code></pre> Assuming the part1 (which u saw as p1) is EFI partion and part2 is root. Setting up the Live ISO</h2> # Generate a host id zgenhostid # Passpharase is the password it would ask to decrypt your filesystem # assuming rpool is the name of root pool echo '<passphrase>' > /etc/zfs/rpool.key chmod 000 /etc/zfs/rpool.key</code></pre>Setting up partitions</h2> Setting up the root partion (with encrpytion)</h3> zpool create \ -o ashift=12 \ -O acltype=posixacl \ -O canmount=off \ -O compression=zstd \ -O dnodesize=auto \ -O normalization=formD \ -O relatime=on \ -O xattr=sa \ -O mountpoint=/ \ -R $INST_MNT \ -O encryption=aes-256-gcm \ -O keylocation=file:///etc/zfs/rpool.key \ -O keyformat=passphrase \ rpool \ $DISK_ROOT</code></pre> Can’t explain every option but here we are creating aes-256-gcm</code> encryption^{5</a> which would be unlocked using the key present at the keylocation , using zstd compression , using 4K sector alignment for performance and ssd correctness which rpool</code> as name of the pool mounting at the $INST_MNT</code> variable we set.} I suggest you using keylocation flag as its not unsafe your key is stored already in an encrypted disk this would just allow use to boot more smoothly into our system else you have to type your password 2 times while booting if you dont want that you can do keylocation=prompt</code> </blockquote> Boot partitions</h3> Format the boot partition to be a fat32 mkfs.fat -n BOOT $DISK_BOOT</code></pre>Setting up datasets</h2> I would be keeping my root and data in different dataset so as if i wnat to snapshot only data if could do it Create container datasets: zfs create -o canmount=off -o mountpoint=none rpool/ROOT zfs create -o canmount=off -o mountpoint=none rpool/DATA</code></pre> Now we create a dataset with the OS name you are installing Why? If in future you want to dual boot a different OS on same pool you could do that by just creating a dataset named after the OS you are installing zfs create -o mountpoint=/ -o canmount=noauto rpool/ROOT/$INST_OS</code></pre> Mount root filesystem dataset and boot partition: zfs mount rpool/ROOT/$INST_OS mkdir -p $INST_MNT/boot/efi mount $DISK_BOOT $INST_MNT/boot/efi</code></pre> Important to not mount to boot partion to /boot as it would let u have a unbootable installation, the boot partion wont container kernel or anything you would just need it to contain zfsbootmenu</code> </blockquote> Create datasets to separate user data from root filesystem: zfs create -o mountpoint=/ -o canmount=off rpool/DATA/$INST_OS for i in {usr,var,var/lib}; do zfs create -o canmount=off rpool/DATA/$INST_OS/$i done for i in {home,root,srv,usr/local,var/log,var/spool,var/tmp}; do zfs create -o canmount=on rpool/DATA/$INST_OS/$i done chmod 750 $INST_MNT/root chmod 1777 $INST_MNT/var/tmp</code></pre> Now you should be ending up with a structure something like this: artix-live:[root]:/mnt# zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 4.02M 37.8G 192K /mnt rpool/DATA 2.25M 37.8G 192K none rpool/DATA/artixlinux 2.06M 37.8G 192K /mnt rpool/DATA/artixlinux/home 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/home rpool/DATA/artixlinux/root 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/root rpool/DATA/artixlinux/srv 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/srv rpool/DATA/artixlinux/usr 384K 37.8G 192K /mnt/usr rpool/DATA/artixlinux/usr/local 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/usr/local rpool/DATA/artixlinux/var 960K 37.8G 192K /mnt/var rpool/DATA/artixlinux/var/lib 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/var/lib rpool/DATA/artixlinux/var/log 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/var/log rpool/DATA/artixlinux/var/spool 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/var/spool rpool/DATA/artixlinux/var/tmp 192K 37.8G 192K /mnt/var/tmp rpool/ROOT 568K 37.8G 192K none rpool/ROOT/artixlinux 376K 37.8G 376K /mnt</code></pre>Package installation</h2> basestrap $INST_MNT base vim grub connman connman-openrc openrc elogind-openrc</code></pre> Install kernel and zfs kernel module: # intel microcode is optional only install if your device support it basestrap $INST_MNT $INST_LINVAR $INST_LINVAR-headers archzfs-dkms sudo efibootmgr wget intel-ucode # If your computer has hardware that requires firmware to run basestrap $INST_MNT linux-firmware sof-firmware</code></pre> Copying our config over to the new OS: cp /etc/hostid $INST_MNT/etc mkdir $INST_MNT/etc/zfs # please ignore if you get prompted it already exists # Replace rpool with whatever your name is cp /etc/zfs/rpool.key $INST_MNT/etc/zfs cp /etc/pacman.conf $INST_MNT/etc/pacman.conf cp /etc/resolv.conf $INST_MNT/etc/resolv.conf echo $INST_HOST > $INST_MNT/etc/hostname ln -sf $INST_TZ $INST_MNT/etc/localtime echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> $INST_MNT/etc/locale.gen echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" >> $INST_MNT/etc/locale.conf</code></pre> Setup mount points We dont need mounts of ZFS datatree’s and ZFS automatically handels them using zfs-magic</code> fstabgen -U $INST_MNT | grep "/boot/efi" >> $INST_MNT/etc/fstab</code></pre>Chrooting into our installation</h2> Chroot: artix-chroot $INST_MNT</code></pre> Generate locales: locale-gen</code></pre> Generate zpool.cache: zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool</code></pre> Set the root password: passwd</code></pre>Setting up Initramfs</h3> Edit your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf</code> and add these part # The rpool key is important to add FILES=(/etc/zfs/rpool.key /boot/intel-ucode.img) # Remove fsck as zfs dont really need it and also it wont let kernel compile for some reasons HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block zfs filesystems)</code></pre> zfs</code> should be before filesystems</code> in hooks else you would get rootfs error while booting up </blockquote> Then regenrate the Initramfs mkinitcpio -P</code></pre> Create a new user for yourself: useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/bash trix passwd trix</code></pre> Then edit visudo file: EDITOR=vim visudo</code></pre> and uncomment so your user can execute sudo commands: %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL</code></pre>Setting up ZFS services</h2> Clone the zfs-openrc repo and move the script where they need to be git clone https://gitlab.com/aur3675443/zfs-openrc cd zfs-openrc cp zfs- /etc/init.d/ chmod +x /etc/init.d/zfs-</code></pre> Then activate the service rc-update add zfs-import boot ## (This is needed!) rc-update add zfs-load-key boot ## (Only if you need it!) rc-update add zfs-zed boot ## (This is needed!) rc-update add zfs-mount boot ## (THIS IS IMPORTANT!! Otherwise the zpool(s) will be imported but not mounted!)</code></pre>Setting up Bootloader</h2> For our kind of setup ZFSBootMenu</a>(aka “ZBM”) is the perfect option. It is a pretty neat software which manages multiple aspects of ZFS boot environments and supports ZFS native encryption. It also supports directly booting into snapshots if things went wrong. Setting up the ZFS boot command line</h3> zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/artixlinux rpool</code></pre> Assuming you have the setup identical as this guide. Now setup boot commands zfs set org.zfsbootmenu:commandline="noresume init_on_alloc=0 rw spl.spl_hostid=$(hostid) video=1920x1080" rpool/ROOT</code></pre> video=1920x1080</code> flag should be according to whatever your screen size is. Installing zfsbootmenu</h3> ZBM is also provided by AUR</a> but it is a dead simple EFI executable and I prefer to manage it outside the package manager. mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/zbm wget https://get.zfsbootmenu.org/latest.EFI -O /boot/efi/EFI/zbm/zfsbootmenu.EFI</code></pre> Now setting up EFI menu to have entry of ZBM assuming disk</code> is sda (it should be disk not part and part</code> is 1 means the first partition edit it accordingly efibootmgr --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --create --label "ZFSBootMenu" --loader '\EFI\zbm\zfsbootmenu.EFI' --unicode "spl_hostid=$(hostid) zbm.timeout=3 zbm.prefer=rpool zbm.import_policy=hostid video=1920x1080" --verbose</code></pre>Exit and clean up</h2> exit umount /mnt/boot/efi zpool export rpool reboot</code></pre> And hopefully you would now boot into your brand new artix installation. What’s Next?</h1> There are somethings i would like you to read about and setup on your own: zrepl</code></a>: zrepl is a one-stop, integrated solution for ZFS replication. It would allow you to create snapshots automatically so you can backup anytime things went the wrong way. Here is my configuration</a></li> ConnMan</code></a>: a command-line network manager which would be your main networking utitlity in artix (its pretty easy)</li> Artix Wiki</code></a>: Great resource if you want to learn about anything related to Artix</li> zram</code></a>: Linux kernel module for creating a compressed block device in RAM, very useful while using ZFS</li> </ul> Conclusion</h1> The setup we just installed is pretty much GOATED in all aspect, you are getting a systemd free OS with Native encrypted root pool I mean what else do you want? Here is what my setup looks like: Xmonad Setup</figcaption> </fig> If you have read about my Dev Setup</a> you know i was a wayland user and yep I switched to X11, the switch was unavoidable. ZFS list</figcaption> </fig> While all of them are on same pool only one of them is encrypted which is pretty amazing.

Coding Principles I Follow

Minimalism</h2> In computing, minimalism refers to the application of minimalist philosophies and principles in the design and use of hardware and software. Minimalism, in this sense, means designing systems that use the least hardware and software resources possible.</p>

DRY (don’t repeat yourself)</h2> Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.</p> </blockquote>

YAGNI (you aren’t gonna need it)</h2> Always implement things when you actually need them, never when you just foresee that you need them.</p> </blockquote>

Dell G15 - Review

Setting up Bootloader</h2>
For our kind of setup ZFSBootMenu</a>(aka “ZBM”) is the perfect option. It is a pretty neat software which manages multiple aspects of ZFS boot environments and supports ZFS native encryption. It also supports directly booting into snapshots if things went wrong.</p>

Review</h2>
For me the book was more about how to manipulate others. Some ideas of this book are good but most of it is just not that useful for me( I am not into manipulating others and stuff).</p>
Read it more of like a dramatic historical novel about king’s men gaining power.</p>

Review</h2>
Didn’t really like it, it was weird. Weird trauma Not really my type</p>

Load usbmon module</h4>
Run</p>
`sudo modprobe usbmon</span></span></code></pre> It would load the kernel module</p> STEP 4 - 6</h2> Capture USB packets</li> Do the thing thats told to you</li> Name the file and send it.</li> </ul> Voila, you have captured your USB packets 🫡</p>`

STEP 4 - 6</h2>

Capture USB packets</li>
Do the thing thats told to you</li>
Name the file and send it.</li> </ul>
Voila, you have captured your USB packets 🫡</p>
