  • Share your partition scheme!

    Jump

  • with the majority here, I just use distro default / automatic setup in installer

    LONG ago, I did the whole hand-crafted thing, obsessing over exactly how large each partition had to be, but with increasing speed and lowering prices of storage, this attention to detail now seems pretty irrelevant:

    • hda split into /boot, /tmp, (swap), /, /opt, /usr, /var
    • hdb split into (swap) and /home

    • international: Russia (and their puppet, Trump)
    • domestic: we have enough racist, fascist domestic terrorists (ex. Proud Boys, Patriot Front, etc., etc.) that pose far more of a threat to the US than MS-13

  • “Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

    Freedom of speech laws...

    Jump

  • from Mastodon:

    “At this point I assume ‘free speech’ just means you want to say slurs on a site someone else built.”

    Why isn't anyone talking about how much of a privacy risk Chinese tech brings.

    Jump

  • whataboutism – as long as you’re distracted by “China!”, you aren’t paying attention to the far more egregious privacy violations happening right here at home

  • this was me watching some of the cheering when neofetch got archived, people complaining “good, neofetch is too slow” – WTF were you doing with neofetch where speed was a factor?!

    • yet another vote for Debian Stable
    • second the comment on: if you need a newer kernel for hardware reasons, use backports
    • Xfce
    • stick to flatpaks when dealing with wanting to try out a new program (if you like it, then make the decision to use apt or not)
    • don’t confuse “hasn’t been updated” with “hasn’t needed to be updated”

  • Is there a federated or open source search engine alternative?

  • Email client for Linux

    Jump

  • this is one of the things that struck me about email clients on Linux – CLI and GUI clients have followed two very different evolutionary paths – the CLI clients went for the “doing one job well” path (where you end up assembling a whole system of apps for sending and receiving email) and the GUI clients went for the “everything and the kitchen sink” path (where you end up trying to hide half the options so they don’t get in your way)
