It’s boring and predictable, which is precisely what I want from a distribution. It also benefits from not being a desktop OS, or a server OS, or an embedded OS, it’s all of those: learning Debian is useful even if you hate it and don’t run it personally because you will encounter it somewhere.

You have swap, which is pointless in this day and age, and will just burn a hole in the flash and delay the OOM killer doing its work. Look at ntfsresize to shrink that Windows partition down to the minimum. Then maybe image the partitions and obliterate them from the SSD. Use LVM instead to give yourself future flexibility. 1TB NVMe SSDs are so cheap these days they might as well put them in boxes of cereal.

I don’t seem to be able to upvote this twice.

Yes, Debian.

Wow is it still a thing? I had no idea. It always seemed to sit in this weird limbo between Spotify and YouTube Music (for people who just want to listen to music) and Qobuz and HD Tracks (for people who just want to listen to their new £250 power leads). Never sure what it was actually for.

Air is fundamentally a terrible conductor of electricity and is full of noise. Use a wire.

ext4 because I value my data and don’t want to lose it. I used to mess about with ZFS for mass storage but it’s a university course to learn how to use and have decent performance.

I used to use XFS, but ext4 caught up.

And I used to use XFS… on something other than Linux.

Helix. It’s modal like Vim but the defaults just work, and a quick “hx --health” will list every mode and what package you need to install for the language server.

He missed “Drew DeVault forking maintained packages and abandoning them”

node-ip not ip. If you’re just a Linux user don’t worry, it’s just some Node BS going down - again.

I ask because that repo says “The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.” and yet it exists only to abuse other people’s creative rights.

Then then why not buy the CD?

Why not just use cdparanoia with the original CD?

This reads achingly like an advert pretenting to be a social media post. BitWarden works fine for third party pass keys on every site I’ve used it on, ta - and I can self-host it.

Big Clive has done teardowns of IKEA chargers before and rates them highly for quality and safety.

I’m glad I noticed this is “techrights.org” before actually clicking. Don’t bother with anything on that site.

Shouldn’t this headline read “Apple fixes bug”?

At this point, the differentiator is the inconvient shape, not the performance.

I struggle to be interested in any bling project written by C++ “coders” since they were 9 who don’t even know how copyright works so use a pseudonym there instead - they’re almost always inexperienced children. And children are almost always sociopaths.
