Thanks,

bcachefs could be the answer but I don't really want my data on a fs I need this week's kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.

I'm not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff...but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don't fail at the same time.

I don't think popping them was an issue, it was a few hours before the rain hit, they were ready to pop and my son was eager to help them.

I think the idea is that raindrops hit the mushroom which expels the spores, suspect my son's finger does the job better than the fungi was expecting....but perhaps it would be better to leave them alone.

Have a few video clips of pooping, but not sure how to post/share them

Nice shot.

No idea about this stuff, hopefully someone knows. Will take a guess on some sort of slime mould.

Why?

Triple booting is a pita, moreso if you don't know how to partition a disk. I'd want any laptop encrypted, which adds further complexity to the triple boot.

If you wanna browse, research, watch videos and tinker just install a distro. If you wanna spend time switching your system off and on again over and over and over again to find out what's working/broken go for the triple boot.

Docker could be worth a shot. You can 'docker pull fedora/arch/debina/whatever' and can play around with the base systems. Alpine takes up about 6mib so isn't too resource intensive if you need to nuke it a few hundred times to get up and running.

I hone my own. My edges are not on par with pro edges I've used but I'm often a few weeks between shaves and I like it a little forgiving on the flesh. I'm not too fussed about billiard ball smooth

I only ever sent one razor out for sharpening, it was for some comedy level sharp from someone using Ken Schwartz sub-micron sprays. Glad I tried it, not for me.

In the first few years I bought maybe ten or more cheap vintage razors from people who seemed to know what they were doing, was a nice way to try different blades and edges.

Cheers, never had Five Finger Nug Punch b4 but 5 Deadly Venoms is one of my favourite movies, might stick it on.

Wonderful painting, I spotted it in a charity shop a few weeks back and was very tempted to buy it, but the colour was rather washed out.

I sent the pic to my friend who said it's one of his all time favorites, I put the snap on Pixelfed and someone appeared almost instantly to tell me this is in fact terrible art.

New to linux, think she needs a gui. I will look into UTM.

I'm not sure there is a need to run linux on bare metal, or carry around a second laptop.

Sounds good, is there a simple guide to UTM on MacOS?

I don't doubt that relying on Red Hat's code makes life easier.

My needs are minimal. I can get by on openrc, runit, systemd or sysv.

Curious to see where s6 goes.

I lost interest in Arch when Tom Gunderson was aggressively promoting systemd whilst being funded by Red Hat, I was sad when Debian made the decision to rely on Red Hat to take care of the low level system plumbing.

My tinfoil hat from around 2010 still seems relevant.

I'm trying to be generous, whilst being largely ignorant, and consider he is responding to a hierarchy that have an 'over my dead body' approach to changing the traditional ways and perhaps he is just informing them that tradition has an option for that sort of thing.

and/or it does seem like he could well be a horrid person.

On the plus side I was both shocked and happy to learn Japan has very recently changed the age of consent from 13 to 16 whilst also recognizing consent in the context of rape which does seem like a step in the right direction. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-65887198
