  {% blocktrans %}I'm crazy about trains. My grandfather is a retired train
64
64
  operator, and from there I got passed on a certain love for these
65
65
  machines.<br />
66
66
  I see trains as thé solution for transportation of both passengers (day) and
67
67
  cargo (night). They're fast, convenient, large, all that while being
68
68
  ecologically only second to bicycles for transportation, and the all-out #1
69
69
  choice for public transport (provided it's reasonably used). In Europe, I hope
70
70
  that air travel will be replaced by HST travel, which would allow a lot of
71
71
  people to travel the continent easily, affordable, and ecological. Trains are amazing!<br />
72
72
  My favourite is the
73
73
  <a href="MW41PIC">MW41</a>, a
74
74
  <abbr title="Diesel Multiple Unit train">DMU</abbr> that's frequently used on

  corridor. This is also the route my grandfather did, as he was stationed at
80
80
  the depot in Mol. It's a very versatile train:{% endblocktrans %}
81
81
  {% blocktrans %}<ul>
82
82
	<li>It can drive on non-electrified tracks</li>
83
83
	<li>The middle provides a big compartment for wheelchairs, luggage, and
84
84
	  (non-folding) bicycles, as well as a comfortably big toilet</li>
85
85
	<li>The top speed is relatively low (120km/h), but it makes up for that with
86
86
	a relatively high power-to-mass ratio. Combined with its low capacity, this
87
87
	  makes it an ideal train for frequent stop services.</li>
88
88
	<li>It doesn't waste an extra set of doors in the middle of the train, like
89
89
	  the MS96 does</li>
90
90
	<li>There's enough space for luggage storage, the seats all have smileys,
91
91
	  and the whole train has A/C</li>
92
92
	<li>The space is optimally distributed, which can easily be seen when you
93
93
	enter the doors at the front or back, which curve inside to give room for
94
94
	the driver's compartment.</li>
95
95
	<li>The train can be coupled to meet high demand, increasing the capacity to
96
96
	  +600 people</li>

    {% blocktrans %}I'm an omnivore, and eat everything that I like to eat. I like
104
104
        a variety of different things, but the things I like most are nicely prepared
105
105
        beef, yummy vegetables, and fish. I heavily dislike pureed food, beans
106
106
        and peas, and
107
107
        desserts that are not simple. I'll seldom turn down things like
108
108
        hamburgers, pizzas, ...<br />
109
109
        Spaghettis (and other pastas) are extremely satisfying for me to eat, because
110
110
        practically
111
111
        everyone knows how to make it, but almost every time I try someone's version,
112
112
        it's a different taste. I love how many varieties of all the pastas exist!<br />
113
113
        This is quite the opposite with fries: Only Belgians seem to know how
114
114
        fries are served properly. I've seen (and sadly, tasted) the ways fries
115
115
        are prepared abroad, and it's often an insult against our national
116
116
        pride, so much so that I avoid eating them outside of Belgium.<br />
117
117
        I enjoy Belgian fries a lot, but I am picky about them. I consider my portion
118
118
        "great" if fresh potatoes are used, they're medium sized, and well baked,
119
119

        I might eat vegetarian when an attractive option is available. That is: It
124
124
        has to be tasty, not expensive, and shouldn't make me miss meat. If those
125
125
        conditions are met, I'll probably take a vegetarian dish, but not because I
126
126
        want to <em>be</em> a vegetarian. I believe this
127
127
        helps to reduce my carbon footprint. I started doing this when I went to Ghent
128
128
        University, where there's often a tasty vegetarian dish available.

<p>
135
135
    {% blocktrans %}I'll never be a vegan and I firmly believe that veganism is not
136
136
        necessary to prevent animal abuse. Humans have lived with animals for
137
137
        centuries, sometimes even in a way that proved beneficial to both the animals and humans
138
138
        (for example: chickens, sheep, and goats provide eggs, wool, and milk, while we provide them
139
139
        adequate protection from predators). I've had chicken coops for my entire life
140
140
        and I think that eating eggs does not amount to animal cruelty, contrary
141
141
        to veganistic beliefs.<br />
142
142
        While I know that animals are abused in big farms, a system called "laws" can
143
143
        effectively stop those practices, way better than veganism. It's also a very
144
144
        radical lifestyle for most people to attempt.<br />
145
145
        That's not to say that veganism is bad; delicious meals are easily made in a
146
146
        vegan way, and within a healthy and varied diet, it's possible to be a
147
147
        lifelong vegan, starting from adulthood: due to health concerns minors
148
148
        mustn't be vegans.{% endblocktrans %}

155
155
  I do this for multiple reasons:
156
156
  <ul>
157
157
	<li>I don't believe drugs are necessary to have fun. When I'm with friends
158
158
	they may be drinking alcohol, but I enjoy my time just as much with
159
159
	  non-alcoholic drinks like sodas.</li>
160
160
	<li>Drugs are unhealthy. Most of them cause damage to organs, and can badly
161
161
        affect the body long-term. I have no desire for any of that.</li>
162
162
	<li>For social purposes, it's always easy that I am the person that's
163
163
	sober. This can be for multiple reasons; an emergency, being the driver of

	  the evening, ...</li>
165

167

169
169
  cannabis is sometimes used for medical purposes (which I would do as well
170
170
  should I need it, since that's not recreational), so I don't oppose to others
171
171
  using them, nor do I refrain from buying them if I know they will be consumed
172
172
  in moderation. I do oppose to usage that inflicts harm to others, or in

  general, forces other people to use it as well in a passive way.{% endblocktrans %}

272
272
        <li>In addition to my poor social skills, I am also a very bad speaker;

274

275
            issues that I (think I) understand very well. I would like to inform

276
            people, but if I can't talk in a convincing way, I might do more
277
277
            harm than good, so I try to avoid "live debating".</li>
278
278
        <li>Politics can be a sensitive topic. While I'd love to talk about
279
279
            sensitive issues with my friends, I don't know if the reverse is
280
280
            true, and I do not want to look annoying to be friends with.
281

            Therefore I try to refrain from bringing up political

282
            discussions myself. However, if one of my friends were to bring it

283
            up, I will gladly partake, because I take that as a sign that there

284
            is some mutual interest.</li>

        <li>I have a website on which I can talk at length and in detail about

286
            these things. This also offers an easy "getaway" for friends, but
287
287
            also other people; they can decide for themselves whether they want

288
            to know about my opinions, without awkward social interactions. It
289
289
            also allows me to directly link to source material, correct

399
        network up and increase the security. If you really want to, you can also
400
400
        help by becoming a <strong>non</strong>-exit node (because exit nodes
401
401
        may get blocked by some websites, I don't recommend doing that 
402
402
        unless you know what you're doing).

<p id="adblocker">
406
406
    {% blocktrans %}I normally would not use an adblocker to browse the web. As much as I
407
407
    resent the use of advertisements, I understand that keeping a website up
408
408
    costs money, and advertising is an easy way to fund that, a practice of which traces
409
409
    can be found back until the Roman empire. Because their existence is not
410
410
    harmful to society either, I see no valid ethical objection to an
411
411
    advertisement on a website, and I don't want to block them. (I also don't oppose the
412
412
    use of adblockers by others: I think people have a right to decide whether they
413
413
    want to see ads or not.)<br />
414
414
    However, I do use
415
415
    <a href="https://noscript.net" target="_blank">NoScript</a>,
416
416
    which is a <em>script blocker</em>. It helps me stay anonymous on the
417
417
    internet by blocking (mostly client side) scripts that may reveal my identity.
418
418
    Unfortunately, a lot of websites have started using tracking scripts to
419
419
    trace what I see, what I do, what I surf to on the internet, and use that
420
420
    for advertising, profiling, and identifying me, which is ethically wrong.
421
421
    Because I oppose this practice, I block these scripts,
422
422
    and that often means that I don't see advertisements
423
423
    either.<br />
424
424
    There's a small annoyance to this (but I don't mind that): Some websites require some scripts to
425
425
    operate at all; therefore I have to manually pick for these websites what
426
426
    scripts to allow and which to block. The fact that these websites are
427
427
    erroneously built (i.e. they can't work without client code scripts)
428
428
    is annoying, but I don't really care that much: For some websites, that's worth it.
429
429
    For others, I don't bother and I don't read what's on them.<br />
430
430
    However, as a practical advantage, blocking so many scripts means my browsing
431
431
    is much better (which partly offsets the speed deficit caused by using Tor):
432
432
    A lot of websites load within a second for me, whereas with
433
433
    unblocked tracking, it takes easily 5-10 seconds before some webpages are
434
434
    fully loaded in. Additionally, the page gets sprinkled with ugly bars,
435
435
    elements pop in randomly and shift the page layout in grotesque ways,
436
436
    (a)social media buttons left and right, and often a popup regarding their
437
437
    use of cookies, which blocks what I want to do in the first place. What a
438
438
    terrible state of affairs!<br />
439
439
    If you think the increase in speed, security, and safety while browsing is
440
440
    totally worth clicking "Allow this script" every once in a while, then I
441
441
    urge you to install NoScript as well, and activate "Block scripts globally".
442
442
    It will make your browsing a lot better in almost every way.{% endblocktrans %}

448
448
    movement and organizations that battle to preserve our computing freedom,
449
449
    which I regard as a human right. I go out of my
450
450
    way to find replacements for any proprietary software, and have a high
451
451
    tolerance for practical ease of use I'm willing to sacrifice.<br />
452
452
    Very seldom, I use Windows (often in an emulated environment) for some

    programs that I need to

455
455
456
456
    I also voluntarily help people move from using proprietary software to free
457
457
    software. I feel responsible for doing so, because I'm an informatician, and
458
458
    not many people understand these subjects well.
459
459
    If you want to try it (on your own), you can find a lot of GNU/Linux distros on the
460
460
    internet that are pretty easy for novice free/libre software users. You can
461
461
    also install them alongside an existing operating system, giving you the
462
462
    chance to make an easy transition to computing freedom (which I admit, is
463
463
    difficult when you're not used to it). For your freedom's sake, I implore
464
464
    you to give it a shot too.{% endblocktrans %}

<p>
469
469
    {% blocktrans %}Although I avoid proprietary software, I take a mild
470
470
    approach to proprietary video games. This is because games
471
471
    serve a cultural/entertainment purpose, not a general/functional
472
472
    purpose. They're a form of art, so to speak. That's a fundamental
473
473
    difference from other types of software, and that reflects in how I
474
474
    experience the (lack of) freedom in games.
475
475
476
476
    I do draw the line with
477
477
    <a href="https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-games.html" target="_blank">games that
478

    are distributed with malware</a>, most often taking the form of

482
482
483
483
    <br />
484
484
    However, I still think that games also ought to be free software, because
485
485
    that would also make them free cultural works.
486
486
    Proprietary games can get
487
487
    lost because of technical changes (ranging from instruction set architecture
488
488
    to a specific high-level library), making them unplayable as time goes on.
