Modern tech, retro tech, 80s/90s music & nostalgia. I live in northern England so most things I post about have a UK slant.
Elsewhere on Fedi:
Linux doesn’t really know about drives, it knows about partitions and mount points.
Obviously this is a simplification, but in general it’s close enough. It also could well be your problem - timeshift doesn’t know or care that /boot is on the same physical drive as the rest of your system: if it’s a different partition, it’s separate.
It’s a little more than 100€
It’s half as much again! If your budget is that flexible you really should have mentioned it in the original post so that people could give you a wider range of options.
Translate it up by a couple of orders of magnitude and you get “I want to buy a car, I have €10,000 to spend” … “I found one for €15,000, it’s a little bit more but …”
Why not? What’s different about chicken meat compared to, say, beef or lamb, which most people like to cook so it remains at least a little bit pink (i.e. raw inside).
DigitalOcean’s guides in general are pretty good for all sorts of things, whether it’s a generic discussion of a concept like the ones you’ve posted, or a step-by-step guide for installing and configuring specific systems or software. Even if you’re not using DO as a host, much of what they suggest is still very useful.
It’s not a numbers game. “They killed one of our children” does NOT make it OK for us to kill one of their children.
Neither sausage-on-a-stick fast food nor sausage-in-a-bun fast food bear any resemblance to the traditional German way of serving wurst. Neither is “closer” they are both a million miles away from the original.
How is this supposed to be enforced? In a decade’s time are shopkeepers going to have to challenge anyone buying a packet of fags who looks under 28? And then later it’ll be “sorry mate, can you prove you’re 44?” and so on.
That looks amazing. In the last year or two I’ve found a pretty good, reliable dough recipe, but I’m never really satisfied with the tomato sauce I use. Do you have a recipe you stick to?
markdown support
If you are on (or migrate to) a server using the Glitch-Social fork of Mastodon, you’ll get markdown support. It’s a game-changer, in my opinion. (glitch-soc has lots of other nice features too, btw).
While true, I think most people’s concern is that their laptop is stolen and along with it all the access details for their email, online banking and so on.
If you’re doing things that mean you’re going to be the target of people with the knowledge, time, and technology to freeze the RAM and attempt to recover the data, you’re presumably already well aware of those (and other) dangers anyway.
systemd [is] a niche
Maybe in the wider world of all the operating systems installed on all the computers, but for Linux-based computing it is, like it or not, near ubiquitous these days. And in particular for server systems (and this is, after all, /m/selfhosted), good luck finding something that isn’t systemd-based unless you’re deliberately choosing a BSD or aiming for a system which has ever-decreasing amounts of support available.
what if I’m not using CoreOS?
Podman runs on any distro (or more strictly: any distro that uses systemd). It’s essentially a FOSS alternative to Docker.
This post is generating waves of nostalgia for /r/Fryup for me. We need somewhere on the Fediverse to post, lust over and critique other people’s fry-ups.
“Black pudding”, surely.
Blood sausage sounds yuk, black pudding is … well I’m not a huge fan (hands in passport) but at least it sounds like it should be palatable.
Your photo makes me feel a little bit unwell. Sorry.
GRUB (or any other bootloader) doesn’t care about and in fact doesn’t even know about X, Wayland, or any other userland GUI system.
There is a long abandoned (but it still runs) project called eDEX-UI (https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui) which basically provides a working, useable terminal surrounded by all sorts of the crap visual appearance of hacker terminals in the movies. Pair that with a terminal editor and you’ve almost got a movie IDE!
It’s kinda fun for a while although I’d be amazed if anyone actually used it as their main terminal emulator program. But you could.
have you given the Long Earth series a go that he did with Stephen Baxter?
As this is a telly thread I got all excited and wondered if someone had created a TV series of the Long Earth books … but you just mean the books don’t you?
I’m not the person you wrote that reply to, but I definitely enjoyed them, but then I’m almost as big a fan of Stephen Baxter as I am of Terry Pratchett.
I don’t know if this will help you but when that annoying 500 error occurs on kbin (and it can be for almost any action it seems) I find it sometimes helps if I hit the back button so I return to where I was and then refresh the entire page and immediately try that action again.
Good luck, I also have 196 and various other meme mags blocked.
I enjoy Sara Cox’s evening drivetime show. I sometimes wish I didn’t, but when you’re doing yet another 4-hour slog up the M1/M6 in evening rush hour traffic it’s perfect company.
And Zoe Ball can be OK in the mornings, although I’ll often tune into something with a bit less chatter unless I’m feeling particularly enthusiastic. Other than those two shows, R2 doesn’t really do it for me. And yes, Jeremy Vine is utterly off-putting.
