You may want to ask a member of the cult of the subgenius the difference between “real” midnight and “conspiracy” midnight.

Microfiche.

Those people who pronounce it ‘nitch’? The word for that is WRONG. Those people deserve ridicule.

Fuck yeah.

Also missing from sub-clauses, at least in America, is the trailing delimiter comma.

“Do you need a sign to wear?”

If you guessed Drill Sergeant, saying it to me, you’d be right.

Also a bonus:

• don’t change, mister guppy. I’ve got a bet riding on you!

(They had to say mister)

Family can be SUCH a challenge. You need to limit your exposure to the bad elements and increase exposure to the good ones (who likely suffer like you with those bad ones).

It’s okay to ghost your family a lot, my dude, if it keeps ya sane. They may love you in some weird broken way, but they aren’t you; take care of you.

Everyone should have the opportunity to work where it suits them best.

I’m glad I have a great environment, and I wish everyone else could find and get into their best workflow, as it’s a waste otherwise.

It’s fun to first expand on initialisms the first time you use them.

I have a sleep issue and my latest job has a standby/on-call component I can’t avoid right now. I’m dramatically affected by even the potential to be awakened and it’s been a challenge.

I’m looking forward to avoiding that again, as I can usually recover about a week after that all ends.

Skype is still a very good voice chat app, despite a succession of cluttered and pointless updates. It’s clear and clean in sound, and has an excellent gain tuner.

I will use it until the day it dies, and then switch to WhatsApp or something else. It’s all shit by comparison, so I’m not too chuffed as to where I go. Yeah, it’s all junk.

But with my contacts on Whatsapp, signal, teams, slack, and zoom, this feels so much like the pre-jabber days where pidgin was the only sane app. Now we don’t even have that.

This is lame.

Whither Jami ?

Hey. Thanks for the update! As someone whose experience was heavily windows apart from some failed Linux attempts, your experience switching now is an excellent comparison.

Glad the story got better in the second act.

Keep the story going. Please update.

Thanks for persevering also.

Still requires docker?

Once set, you cannot resize them properly

This is untrue.

I’ve resized and moved partitions on a remote host during a reboot – i.e. doing the change in a batch during that boot.

It’s possible, and for most other resizes it’s easy enough and worth it for the benefits. Do you want to do it daily? No. Do you want to half-ass it and not pay attention during? Also no.

whatever the OS suggests.

Ew. Then you get XFS.

not actually seen any benefit of the separation in practice.

The first time some big download hoses your root, you will be enlightened :-D

EFI
83:boot(e4fs)
8e:lvm(e4fs)
bf:zfs

This is just for /dev/sda or so, and implies non-redundant root disks because mirroring is done by the hypervisor. I’ve been 20 years doing virtualization, and I’m really starting to forget the last vestiges of my mdadm fdisk layout.

So many people in this thread have no idea why you’d want separate allocation for /home and /tmp and others. Are we missing proper mentorship?

Containerized packaging is toxic. Let them learn on their own time and not take you down with them!

dreamed everyday

every day. Two words, my dude.

go through the compile-flash-boot agonising process just to debug a config file.

Overlayfs was a thing since; what, Kernel 2.2? We had debugging and in-situ mods where required.

And I live in a very country.

Very country! Many joy! So people!
