when it could also be said on pretty much any other rule (e.g. spam)
Spam is much easier to evaluate objectively. Feeling insulted isn’t. Especially when some people make it their whole personality to feel insulted by any opposing viewpoint or opinion. Which then leads to constantly getting reported for not sharing their views, which leads to more scrutiny if anything you said could actually be perceived as insulting. Add mods becoming tired or just plain old statistics… you can probably follow my train of thought.
PS: And as any other cynic will tell you… that’s not cynical but just speaking from experience.
We are clarifiying the rules regarding acceptable behavior in discussion: be kind & argue in good faith.
I have seen that idea so many times over the years, yet the simple fact is: it does never ever work.
There will always be one side actually arguing (in good faith) and one side reporting every opinion they don’t like. And wheather it’s mods just becoming tired, subconciously influenced by the fact how often some people got reported already or just a simple matter of statistics with a lot of reporting… in the end the former group will get punished and stop to contribute while the latter doesn’t give a fuck and will just circumvent the rules with a new account should their bullshit backfire for once.
TL;DR: hard rules work, wishy-washy nonsense like “be nice to each other” doesn’t.
A “conservative” opposition that made a sharp turn to right-wing populism and is spending the years since they got voted out by parroting far-right AfD narratives while also adding their own take on desinformation at every corner… and sadly the media has failed for quite some time to provide context and is only slowly waking up and starting to publish fact checks for all their bullshit demand and statements.
So you might think you found a problem with my statement. But there isn’t one. The former center-right conservatives are indeed the right populists I was talking about. Because that is exactly what they degerated to the moment they lost power.
For reference see for example: here, here or here
That’s your so-called “conservative opposition” right there…
“German government -as always- rejects solutions (or even honest discussions) in favour of bullshit symbolism pandering to right populists”
Fixed the headline…
“See! You voted for the left, but they don’t solve your problems because we won’t let them!”
One of the most popular strategies in Europe… Followed by total confusion when neither that ‘ineffective’ left nor the obstructionist center to center right gets votes anymore and the far-right rises.
Stick to a specific distro and train your staff
Linux is Linux. Train your staff to properly use one and they can use them all. “Distro” is just a fancy word for “which package manager and update cycle to we chose and what logo do we put on our pre-installed wallpaper”.
Many Europeans know first hand that the streets are less safe than they used to be and which groups are causing it.
No. Many people* believe* that streets are less safe than they used to be, although actual facts and statistics show the opposite and it’s much safer now.
They also believe which groups are causing it, because both lies are told by the same right-wing propagandists (and amplified by media giving a shit about facts, context or anything else but attention and clicks). The actual groups causing more crime are also in the actual real statistics: far-right crime and xenophobic assaults are on the rise and massively impact total numbers.
Yes, I actually just use Wine with a default prefix and pray it works. If it doesn’t (rarely) then the game gets his own prefix to tweak the settings.
you didn’t say what file system your /boot partition was using, so I don’t want to guess
It’s actually easy to guess. There is exactly one filesystem UEFI has to support by its specification, everything else is optional… so unless you produce for Apple -because they demand apfs support for their hardware- no vendor actually cares to implement anything but FAT.
When you say system drive this will also have your efi system partition (usually FAT-formated as that’s the only standard all UEFI implementations support), maybe also a swap partition (if not using a swap file instead) etc… so it’s not just copiying the btrfs partition your system sits on.
Yes clonezilla will keep the same UUID when cloning (and I assume your fstab properly uses UUIDs to identify drivees). In fact clonezilla uses different tools depending on filesystem and data… on the lowest level (so for example on unlocked encrypted data it can’t handle otherwise) clonezilla is really just using dd to clone everything. So cloning your disk with clonezilla, then later expanding the btrfs partition to use up the free space works is an option
But on the other hand just creating a few new partitions, then copying all data might be faster. And editing /etc/fstab with the new UUIDs while keeping everything else is no rocket science either.
The best thing: Just pick a method and do it. It’s not like you can screw up it up as long if your are not stupid and accidently clone your empty new drive to your old one instead…
misinformation != desinformation
Both exist plenty…
And just lke with the war on drugs, countries will realize it’s a lost cause. And will then instead try to coopt the system to spread their own desinformation. If you can’t win, exploit it for your own gains…
Welcome to our wonderful post-factual age.
Btrfs can mostly fo everything you would normaly use LVN or raid for natively.
Btrfs raid0 lets you combine any number of differently sized drives into one (just without the speed boost of traditional raid0 because with flexible drive sizes data is not symmetrical striped). And btrfs raid1 keeps every data duplicated, again with flexible number and sizes of drive (also with metadata on every drive).
The sytemd hooks (instead of the traditional busybox ones) then manage the one other task you use LVM for: unlocking multiple partitons (for example multiple raid partitons and swap) with just one password. Because the systemd encrypt function tries unlooking all luks partitions it finds with the first password provided and only asks for passwords for each partition if that doesn’t work.
PS: btrfs subvolumes are already flexible in size and don’t need predefined sizes. So the only things that need to be created separately are non-btrfs stuff like the efi system partition or a physical swap (which you can also skip by using a swap file instead of a partition).
BTRFS raid on LUKS-encrypted devices (no LVM, all unlocked with one password via SystemD encrypt hooks).
But -just to provide some context as I often see those stupid arguments that electrification cannnot work when we need that much elelctricity- the “total energy use” includes production losses and transport of fossil fuels as well as comparably very low efficiency (in heating and combustion engines in particular). So despite having 80% of the energy use to replace with electricity it’s not a factor of 5 but more closer to ~2,5 (even less for countries with a lower amount of heavy, energy intensive industries).
The main trash you accumulate are config files in you home directory because they stay after the package is uninstalled. And they just sit there not hurting anybody.
Which is a good point to remind people to install pacman-contrib
and make running pacdiff
regularly a habit…
Which btw is the reason many people ended up with Archlinux… after the x-th time looking up some configuration issues on another distro and landing there.
