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
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
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’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.
Thanks, I completely forgot about Sláine. The Horned God was awesome. I think my copy is long gone but I did find an old 2000ad on the shelf with this:
My only issue with kids on a flight is if I’m responsible for them. If they are someone else’s problem, all is well.
Must of taken Henry quite a while to come up with the name for his band :)
The tune is heavily influenced by The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
Michael Franti was the driving force afaik, a year of two after that he went on to form Spearhead. A less silly name, no amazing tunes but a few albums of nice chilled music.
Just checked and surprised to see a new Spearhead tune just dropped, still the same sunny vibes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxJDXEzkRSM&pp=ygUObWljaGFlbCBmcmFudGk%3D
Likely Mastodon.
Similar too Twitter/Bluesky and able to follow Lemmy, Kbin and lots of other areas of the Fediverse.
I got this album a year or two after it came out.
Have just realized right now they are The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy not Hypocrisy.
Doh.
Was worried for a minute I might not even be running linux, but neofetch has saved the day.
Shit, you’ve just reminded me I’ve been running this install for months now and I don’t even have neofetch installed.
Sorting immediately, not sure how I’ve managed these last few month.
imv looks good, thanks for the link
I’m a bit confused, I left Reddit to escape emacs users…should I be on kbin instead?
Thanks, will give dwl a spin as I’ve been quite comfortable on dwm.
Void is my plan. I went with Fedora last time as I couldn’t be bothered setting up Void properly and Fedora was the only distro with a generic kernel that seemed old mac trackapd/keyboard friendly at time. I’ve not tried Puppy for a long time, I tend to opt for AntiX or Porteus in that kinda area.
Thanks, I have i3 & kitty atm so not a huge leap.
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.
