New review: Red Hot Chili Peppers' original line-up finally reunites on their third album, and they deliver an album that's both an enthusiastic party soundtrack as well as proof of their growth. 1987's The Uplift Mofo Party Plan - https://grumpfox.yorniq.xyz/artists/rhcp#rhcp_tumpp

What are The Social Medias people use these days besides Neocities? Is it still bluesky?

i use lemmy sometimes which is like a federated version of reddit, it feels like you get the same content served to you no matter what on most of these platforms so i only get on it like once a week to catch up on niche communities. Bluesky seems to be the big one right now though.

I like using Instagram to keep in touch with my irls and family but I rarely post. Apparently a lot of artists are using Twitter/Bluesky but that style of social media has always been really confusing to me. Twitter is especially confusing now because of all the AI shit/Grok/whatever it's not even really worth it to use social media in the big 26 imo

I only use Tumblr, Bluesky and Instagram but mostly to promote my shit and look at other artists while i'm there. I don't really use social media, as made evident by the fact i don't have any personal social media accounts.

i only really use insta/tumblr, twitter is nightmarish and bluesky never really appealed to me. insta is where i talk to my IRL friends and tumblr has a lot of great artists

I usually use Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit, and Newgrounds but I'm mainly active on the former two.

New review: the Peppers get a second start under the tutelage of George Clinton as the funk gets funkier and the punk gets punkier, resulting in something as scattershot as it is entertaining. 1985's Freaky Styley. https://grumpfox.yorniq.xyz/artists/rhcp#rhcp_fs

Thank you for the welcome! I loved looking through your site when I came across it, can't wait to read through more of your reviews. We have very similar Death Cab opinions, so I'm excited to see your thoughts on the upcoming album if/when you get around to it. (:

I'll definitely get around to it but it'll take a while! Should be arriving through post for me today and I'm excited to give it a listen, but I set myself a boundary of not reviewing anything until I've owned it for a good while so will probably write my thoughts down about it sometime next year.

I actually love void, its probably my one of my favorite distros out of the ones i tried. I'm currently trying out Arch and NixOS because I want to give those more of a shot, but Void and Arch are my favorites. The only negative to void is that theres not as many packages and that a fair amount of packages require more setup because of relying on systemd, but if you don't want to use systemd then void's great.

Thanks for the follow and the shoutbox comment, really appreciated! Always lovely to touch base with fellow Sonicheads. Out of curiosity, did you ever visit any of the Sonic forums around the early 2000s, like SSMB? For some reason the Sonic2k moniker just seems so familiar.

Yep I did, and this handle has been mine since at least May 2000. Before then I had a different handle for a short time but this has been associated with me ever since. A few popular Sonic fans knew me then too, we used to hang out on AOL Instant Messenger a lot

And it's time for a brand new discography project - and I told you I'd pick an uncool one! It's the funky monks the Red Hot Chili Peppers who, among many other things, were one of the very first bands I fell in love with. And that's a huge reason *why* I wanted to cover them, to explore what their discog means to me in 2026 and to balance the critical and nostalgic sides of myself.

I don't listen to them much these days but there was a period in my early teens when they were a daily presence in my CD player - and that's why I'm kinda hyped to revisit this stuff and see how both they and I have grown, warts and all. So we start from the beginning, with the scrappy and troubled self-titled debut: 1984's The Red Hot Chili Peppers, https://grumpfox.yorniq.xyz/artists/rhcp#rhcp_rhcp

I take everything i have ever said about any linux distro back 1000 times. Void Linux is my absolute dream distro. They were NOT joking about Runit being faster

been thinking about giving Void a try. I've heard some stuff about compatibility issues due to the lack of systemd or the fact that some programs have to be compiled from source code due to Void's package manager. Still, if you're still going strong after a few weeks i'll probably give it a try this summer

have they added full-disk encryption to the installer yet? i remember testing and really liking it a few years ago but that put me off using it as my main distro

just-a-husk 1 month ago

@taibhse apparently yes: https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/fde.html

krongulus 1 month ago

I will likely eventually post about my experience later on but so far i haven't seen anything missing. Anything i couldnt find i just got on flatpak, you can also double check here https://voidlinux.org/packages/ I want to say it was easier to install then arch, but a little tougher then something like fedora/mint that has a visual GUI.

taibhse 1 month ago

@just-a-husk i know about that, i meant in the installer. i don't want to have to do it manually. i remember there was an issue or PR about it like 5 years ago but i don't think they've done anything with it to this day

New review, and we return to the world of Manic Street Preachers for a bit to look at bassist Nicky Wire's second solo album, which appeared one July morning in Bandcamp and then has proceeded to kind of just exist. 2023's Intimism: https://grumpfox.yorniq.xyz/artists/manics#nw_inti
