partitions are used for organizing, the downside is that more partitions make each one smaller

I end up running 1 btrfs partition sagred between all my installed Linux distros on one system

lvm is also awesome for resizing and moving partitions

my desktop right now has nvme0n1p1 as my efi partition and p2 as a lvm pv

inside that lvm I put everything else as it’s very easy to resize and move them (I also have p2 encrypted with luks2)

my phone does single tap to toggle and tap on the down arrow or longpress for settings page

I have two ssds for raid1 boot,it’s very nice

just wish my bios would stop making phantom uefi boot entries every boot

/run contains all sorts of virtual stuff, it doesn’t persist over a reboot,

I would advise against deleting anything in it as those files are used by programs running as whether user has the ID of 1000 (most likely you)

it contains things such as sockets and lock files so that programs can interact with each other

ah I misunderstood, thought you talking about underload, not idle power use

all the laptops I’ve ever had have been able to reliability pull the full power (like within 30 watts) of their power adapter rating so that’s a good estimate

lsof is a good tool would recommend it whenever something weird is happen, tho you gotta be root for it

another roart of the thread suggested using the Celeron box as an OPNsense router

OPNsense is a gateway/firewall/DHCP/router my network looks like this

optical to Ethernet conversion (the isp’s things) -> opnsense box -> network switch -> all other device (including wifi APs)

all traffic gets routed thru the opnsense box as it is the gateway to my network, runs the ipv4 nat and DHCP server

router in their comment refers to the the one that actually touches the Internet

so it would be like you say I want Firefox to go thru the tunnel, you would want the DNS requests made from it to go thru as well, in this case they weren’t tunneled and were just going to the normal dns server

not sure your exact case, but I would highly recommend using pipewire, Bluetooth audio devices were nothing but pain for me with pulse audio and they just worked on pipewire

I’ve used Sony xm4s

you can work for your parents in many places regardless of age

what do you mean? they’re fine unless you want to read or write to them… wait a minute

one of those pi kvms or the like could turn on any system even if it doesn’t support wake on lan

man it crazy I switched to Wayland on my laptop and docking to 3 monitors just worked on Wayland and it would remember all my monitors settings

I hand like 2 or 3 scripts setup to try and manage that on x11

virt-manager can also connect to remote hosts over ssh

I think you can already do this in one shortcuts, not sure of any standalone program that does, if definably accidentally bond like Ctrl+d, Ctrl+s to screenshot before

risk of rain 2, game is sooo good just pickes up the dlc survivors of the void and it adds so much new stuff, def recommend if you like third person shooters and rougelites, it’s quite hard tooo which makes wining all that more satisfying as well as endless mode as an option

babyrage

systemd is an init system that is super popular because it is so not shit and does what people want, and has adjacent projects that interface with it nicely

some people want more variety but put their effort in an unproductive direction

I think at one point I had like 2.5 tb of stuff stored on my 2 tb drive in my laptop, deduplication and btrfs compression is fun
