Anything KDE-related, it seems to me, makes you download a lot of other software that you don’t really need, and so I’d like to go another route if possible (not dissing KDE, it’s just not for me!).

Are you sure these aren’t just dependencies? That’s the way of linux, do one thing, do it well. Since KDE uses qt, you likely need to install the libraries and a few other packages it might rely on.

If it really is a bunch of stuff you don’t need, make sure you have “install recommended” disabled in whatever package manager you’ve got. I learned that the hard way when I installed texmaker and it tried to install 10GB of packages.

Jokes on you, I’m upgrading my IBM x31. No one in their right mind wants DDR pc2100 ram.

I was going to comment basically the same:

“There it is, the timeline is starting to correct itself”

I wonder which future historical figure was murdered or allowed to live by time travellers in order to get us back on the evil timeline.

For me, unattended-upgrade does it’s thing. Updating other packages happens whenever I think about it. Very few things are not containerized and there’s very little added beyond the base Debian install, so when I do update its maybe a dozen packages.

I would previously reboot during thunderstorms if we lost power, but now that I’ve got a UPS I probably ought to come up with a different plan.

It’s one of those movies that you never need to see again. You either saw it in theaters once, or rented it from Blockbuster or Hollywood video. Maybe you had that one friend that got it for $5 at a second hand store that wishes they grabbed The Matrix instead.

They do have options to show support that don’t involved putting yourself into a database, but yeah.

And the award for ugliest graph goes toooo…

Hmm, 3tb to mirror all the architectures I have around is very tempting. I have an unused dual bay external, and another one that desperately needs (wants) to have its 4tb drives upgraded.

I had the same thought. “Another one? …oh”

Having just dealt with something similar from Linux to windows, I’m 97% sure this is the cause. Mine was a “same file name” issue because capitalization.

Also, it could be a temp file or hidden file that’s created by a program, like the recovery files made by libreoffice/word. They sometimes use weird characters.

Ain’t that his hoodie?

Well, if you need to catch a snitch, you set up a few false operations. Tell each person something different and see which one is busted.

“Trying some things”

Then you end up liking what you slapped together with jank and a prayer to the temporary work-around and now there’s a new prod server!

He looks like someone in a cult. Wide open eyes, thousand yard stare, not mentally in the same universe as the rest of the world.

Seriously. I’ve often thought that we need a journal for failed studies and experiments, or at least have a journal that only publishes articles that have been confirmed by a third party. Make it worthwhile to publish failed results or results confirmed by another researcher. I’ve heard too many stories of grad students repeating tests ad nauseam until they get a result their PA likes. Publish or perish needs to be gotten rid of.
