It’s a really simple system meant to ‘just work’ and provides an idiot sheet you can copy and paste from for those who don’t ever want to RTFM

as long as the system isn’t doing anything important Arch is great for noobs fucking around, it’s high grade spoonfeeding and doing what you are told.

Power users use RHEL, Ubuntu, Gentoo. Governments, armies, tech giants and that kinda stuff, Arch is more for newbies karma farming on r/unixporn for lolz

Thanks, I do have backups of important stuff.

I think bcachefs is what I’m looking for, but I’m gonna wait a bit until development calms down a little and keep on the way I am at the moment.

Thanks,

bcachefs could be the answer but I don’t really want my data on a fs I need this week’s kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.

I’m not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff…but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don’t fail at the same time.

doh

will just keep on keepin’ on then

Nice pic, been a few years since I’ve seen any but always a joy to find ☺️

I think that’s part of why he is being so careful with language, it’s in line with him coming out to say homosexuality is not a crime earlier this year.

Hopefully this is just paving the way for further change but when the Church holds a lot of power in countries where lgbtq+ people are outlawed and heavily oppressed I can see why he’s slowly introducing ideas like it’s not against the law and being permissible to baptise.

I’m no fan of the RCC but if the pope quickly does a full 180 on these issues the church will likely fracture and the countries where things are pretty extreme will break away and, double down on the persecution and allow it to become an identity marker.

I’ve been using the ‘Open With’ extension on Firefox to play video through mpv with a click

picked a random peertube, does this work?

no pooping, i promise

I don’t think popping them was an issue, it was a few hours before the rain hit, they were ready to pop and my son was eager to help them.

I think the idea is that raindrops hit the mushroom which expels the spores, suspect my son’s finger does the job better than the fungi was expecting…but perhaps it would be better to leave them alone.

Have a few video clips of pooping, but not sure how to post/share them

I’m not aware of any utility, but am a novice.

I have seen hundreds of puffball mushrooms recently, my son is big fan of popping them, but these are a little different. It looks like an average puffball on a futon that turns into a star.

Thanks.

Yeah. It was on the west bank of Loch Lomond, on the forest path with loads of birch all around.

Nice shot.

No idea about this stuff, hopefully someone knows. Will take a guess on some sort of slime mould.

I am a moron and in no position to give advice but.

Afaik.

Ok to touch.

Traditionally, feed it to your reindeer and drink the reindeer piss. Then you can drink your own piss 6/7 times.

I’ve opted for the tea/tincture route and pass on the drinking piss.

What’s the deal with these?

I’ve used a few cheap disposable straights, or the ones with disposable blades, are these much different to the ones you just snap a DE in half and pop it in?

Why?

Triple booting is a pita, moreso if you don’t know how to partition a disk. I’d want any laptop encrypted, which adds further complexity to the triple boot.

If you wanna browse, research, watch videos and tinker just install a distro. If you wanna spend time switching your system off and on again over and over and over again to find out what’s working/broken go for the triple boot.

Docker could be worth a shot. You can ‘docker pull fedora/arch/debina/whatever’ and can play around with the base systems. Alpine takes up about 6mib so isn’t too resource intensive if you need to nuke it a few hundred times to get up and running.

I hone my own. My edges are not on par with pro edges I’ve used but I’m often a few weeks between shaves and I like it a little forgiving on the flesh. I’m not too fussed about billiard ball smooth

I only ever sent one razor out for sharpening, it was for some comedy level sharp from someone using Ken Schwartz sub-micron sprays. Glad I tried it, not for me.

In the first few years I bought maybe ten or more cheap vintage razors from people who seemed to know what they were doing, was a nice way to try different blades and edges.

Good to know, thanks

I’d put the 1gb ram laptops to server/kodi/retroarch/something mode and focus on the three decent machines for anything that requires a modern web browser, or add some ram. Porteus might be worth a shot if you’ve not tried it and want to push the Firefox on a potato idea.

I don’t think this is a one OS fits all situation, unless maybe Gentoo.

How bad is really bad?

AntiX is a good choice. Other option is a usb3 drive for each family member so everyone has their own portable AntiX on a stick.

MX is the related project with a more standard install and could be worth a look, the Fluxbox option should be quite light.

Each user could have a personal AntiX system on persistent usb3 and each system could have a bare metal MX Linux install. Just see what wins out via natural selection over time.

LXQT is another option for a full desktop environment that will run on a potato. If family members are mainly just users and you are admin, the base OS may not matter much. They could switch between a potato running Alpine and a good system running Fedora and if they are just logging into LXQT to launch browser, office, email etc the internal system plumbing is not gonna concern them.

thx
