If you're reading this there's a high chance that you have multiple online accounts; each having usernames and passwords. If this is the case you either have multiple passwords memorised or have them saved somewhere. Considering you've memorised passwords, it might be that the passwords are either the exact same, or similar or you tend to forget them. Do you think you're this person? For those who answered yes, it's time to use a password manager to manage your passwords.

Finally, I managed to solve the issue that I was facing with the Linux upgrades. I can now upgrade and start both the LTS and the non-LTS build of Arch. So I will now write what went wrong, what I missed, and what can be thought of in the future. Every time I force & resolve an issue like this, it's always something new about Linux that I end up learning.

Almost over a year back I started reading the long-awaited book from my bucket list, "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs". When I was reading the book, quite a lot of the things in the book were already known to me and therefore it started to get boring. But then I searched on the internet why so many people read the book SICP. The problem was not the reason behind reading the book but the problem was the approach towards the book. The book is not designed to be just read as if it is a novel but you also need to solve the problems in the book.
