if you care to walk "on the wild side" I'd say use LVM, create one big volume covering entire drive then do 50G for / and 20G for /home . I use ext4 since it offers live resize2fs. So the drill is: you set up OS etc. and whenevr you get closer ti the allocated limit bump it by 5G with lvresize + resize2fs which allows you to "grow into" your setup. Also allows snapshots of running OS in cases of iffy updates OR parallel second distro install with subsequent distro removal and space still being at your disposal after it's gone. BTRFS is fun but offers less flexibility than LVM IMO.

Try either one and see for yourself. I would recommend to partition carefully isolating /home so that you can wipe distro but keep your files and settings. Distro pick is rather personal thing - folks find their groove in various ways. I'm on Fedora and have been with Fedora for ages, never owned Windows machine so I'm not your average user, BUT looking at self-starters today I do see a lot more gravitating towards Fedora whereas previously I saw more Ubuntu jumps. YMMV, but distro-hopping is not a bad thing. Partition wisely and pains of distro-hopping won't be as pronounced 😃

Kelley is artisan, Sumner is a factory manager. Indeed they cannot be using same tools or work on the same floor or within the same building. Blind trust in AI (even with guardrails) is a recipe for disaster. They have jumped to Rust to add more guardrails to their AI lunacy but it won't hold for long. At this point there's no single human who actually knows or understands the code and AI code is proven to have durability issues at scale. So direct rewrite gives a quick boost as code is ported from somewhat reviewed base onto new platform, but as new code gets added this will dissipate. It sounds like Bun issue is systemic Zig Rust or Pixie dust won't fix it.

minor annoyance with the title: while article acknowledges that extremism already exists on right end of spectrum left is only catching up, title make it sound as if left is the only wing with extremist leniencies

bailing will commence, in... 3...2..1...

use their cheapest plan, burn their tokens, burn the hole in their budget. could backfire though as then "clever analysts" will claim that demand is up and eager bankers will shell out more cash

an unpopular opinion perhaps: out of all Dem presidents on memory Biden did the most in terms of progressive agenda and by extension so did Harris. But that duo never went full-in on progressive values or anything else, really, so they have mainly half-assed it. So I have no compelling reason to believe that they were progressive as much as they are anti-progressive. Her reaching out to Mamdani could be interpreted as a genuine reach out trying to escape typical DNC tether. Fact is her lackluster performance last time does indicate she's a poor "performer" thus a poor choice to win against raging republicanz.

exactly that. It's about personal attachment of sorts. If you don't feel passionate about it chances of you sticking around are slim. Depending on what your setup is - attempt to expand range of OpenSource tools you use daily, and in the process you may find tools that look great to you but lack function or polish or something else, so that would be the first "dive" and from there it would be easier to expand further

favella dwellers are people with virtually no rights, i.e. no "democracy" for them, fact that someone would weaponize democratic processes to get rid of democracy is the problem with latest scandals. In terms of corruption, anecdotally I hear stories from (ex)Brazilians that I cannot draw parallels to in Canada

[–] droopy4096@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

we can start with favellas which have no equivalent in Canada (treatment of indigenous people is a separate issue and looks to be similarly bad in both cases). Then we can look at Brazilian latest election scandals etc. which have no equivalents in modern Canadian elections. Then we can look at corruption levels in politics.

I'm a bit put off by our rating now placing behind Brazil as I'm pretty sure in practical terms Canada is still more Democratic in many aspects. Does it mean we're not sliding? I'm certain we are,but I think methodology might be flawed and as a result we've got sensational-ish content.

TBF - yes democracy is sliding in Canada, just look at recent government moves i Quebec and Alberta as a sample. Meaning we have to fight for it at the polls and on the streets. It's far from "game over" but it could be at some point.

 

I want to host some LLM's locally and use more advanced models. Since new hardware is out of the question, I think I should be able to pull something off buying some yesteryear equipment on ebay etc. Did anybody attempt such a project? Does it scale horizontally? (I.e. can I connext two boxes to overcome single box slowness?)

 

Fedora 40 running on Dell laptop with KDE spin has done it twice on separate occasions: after rebooting for updates it just hangs after applying them. Is this something known? I've looked on google but could find only similar queries in other places with no answers or "just hard reset it" answers. I've been running Fedora for over a decade now and haven't seen such behaviour until recent releases. Some config drift? something else?

 

Pi Cap has everything I need for my project in terms of function, however their howto page has 2022 update stating that Bullseye does not work with it and one needs to use Buster. I would appreciate any pointers.

 

Is there an abridged version (1-2 pages) of main game math mechanics for v3.5 or v5?

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?

 

I haven't looked at youtube content for a while, however lately I can't watch any videos using libretube. Something about "prove you're not a bot" which I assume is a consequence of google's crusade against add-ons and 3rd party tools. Is there a way around it or are we done with YT?

 

I'm trying to make my own window sills in our new house. We have windows rather deep so depth is around 9in and wide - 42/60in. I'm looking at read oak vs douglas fir. Red oak is mainly available in sub 8in cuts. The only one I found in 9in is 3/4 thick. Would that be sufficient to support plant pots or potentially human sitting on them? However Fir I can get in various sizes so I was looking at 1in thick.

Which one would be more practical? Oak at 3/4 or Fir at 1in?

My reading was that fir is sufficiently softer so plant pots may leave imprints etc. or am I wrong there?

 

I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

 

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.
