Also, mammals evolved around 300 million years ago, and being generous, clothes were first used 3 million years ago. So the number of generations of your ancestors who didn’t see tiddies everyday is a rounding error to the number who did. And they were ALL successful *vaguely waves in your direction*

I’m imagining you’re actually using the vintage computer and its just screaming at having been connected to the internet

That’s all handled with adding the x-systemd.automount option to my fstab entry. If it disconnects it’s unmounted, when it’s available again it mounts when something tries to access it.

I have occasionally needed to restart some services if they didn’t like getting disconnected, but as far as mounting goes it’s handled pretty smoothly with that option.

I brought my 2003 laptop back to life for shits and giggles recently. It’s made me realize how bloated software has become. It’s still just as usable as it was 20 years ago when you remove all the fancy crap and use programs designed for tasks rather than living in a web browser. Sure its not fast, but once I replaced the spinning drive with an ssd, it became pretty damn usable in a modern day scenario. I really thought I would just upgrade as far as I could for fun, then slap an old archived distro on there from my college days for some good old PTSD/nostalgia. But it’s actually usable so I occasionally pull it out and do stuff on it. I’m ready to slap jaunty jackalope on it and relive going to my uni’s library to write a 10 page research paper thats due the next day, but it’s still ready to rock in modern times.

Do you mean a hang on boot when trying to mount? For that I use the nofail option in fstab. I also use the x-systemd.automount option so if something is not mounted for whatever reason, it tries to mount it when something attempts to access it.

I’ve found that around 70% of my connection’s max upload speed is the sweet spot for keeping things speedy, but I only do that if I want something fast and there aren’t many seeders. I typically download at 20% of my bandwidth and upload at 10% so when it’s rocking I don’t affect anyone else on my network. I don’t have symmetrical up-down so my upload limit is a little above 10% of my download limit.

For Linux ISOs, of course.

I have a wait-for-ping service that pings nas A, once it gets a successful response it tries to mount.

I lifted it from a time when I needed to ping my router because Debian had a network-online service bug. I adapted it to my nas because the network-online issue eventually got fixed and mounting my shares became the next biggest issue.

It seems like this person might have grabbed that same fix for what I eventually did because our files are…oddly almost exactly the same.

Meanwhile, my 10 year old dog struggles with “sit”

I’m not great at any init things, but systemd has made my home server stuff relatively seamless. I have two NASs that I mount, and my server starts up WAY faster than both of them, and I (stupidly) have one mount within the other. So I set requirements that nasB doesn’t mount until nasA has, then docker doesn’t start until after nasB is mounted. Works way better than going in after 5 minutes and remounting and restarting.

Of course, I did just double my previous storage on A, so I could migrate all of Bs stuff back. But that would require a small amount of effort.

They could have easily quoted something for a proper x-pass data wipe, or cost a of a new drive and destruction service, plus a cyber security consulting fee. I would be surprised if it wouldn’t hold up at least a little bit in court (I know very little in the way of dutch courts) but if your response is “this is the proper way to destroy data, if you actually want it securely wiped I’ll need you to foot this bill, otherwise it’s hitting my recycle bin”. But there’s probably some details missing of this guy being a complete dick to get an officer to want to do paperwork over it.

The indicator turns into a “manager’s special”, no need to pay an employee to slap them on anymore

This happened last year. This isn’t a new occurrence, I can’t see anything referencing anything new except maybe the lawsuits.

Edit: never mind, I just skimmed, saw lawsuits section, and checked sources, there aren’t even any lawsuits referenced in this

This is the event that happened last year.

And honestly, a couple hundred dollars for a good knife (I’m assuming it’s at least better than Walmart knives, with “government tax” added) is pretty typical if you know your knives. Having a good knife if you use it often is so much better than a box cutter.

Edit: I did the math from the info in article. It’s $350 per knife. That’s honestly pretty low considering how much “government tax” is usually added.

They’re saying that even when it bursts and there’s all these components laying around, they’ll still be useless for consumers.

…“We don’t just dump production applications in $HOME like crazy people”

Hey, I don’t dump them in home, I test them in home and never move them.

It sounds more like you want to have fun distro hopping, and believe me: I can tell you from experience that distro hopping isn’t fun if you have to rely on that machine.

This is 95% of my use case for VMs. Want to check out opensuse? Set up a VM and try to do something in it.

Which is what makes it an excellent server distro. And also why I don’t tend to use it on anything with a screen.

The most messing around I’ve done with my server after setting it up is update to trixie. I think I might have had to reset it two or three times in the past 6 months for the reason of “I didn’t feel like actually troubleshooting”

Was wondering why this isn’t a thing. Have far more efficient heating until absolutely fucking cold, then oh gosh now it happens to be as efficient as baseboard heating. Instead of NOT WORKING AT ALL.

I can agree with this. My internet is trash, and I refuse to go with the faster provider in the area on principle (they took municipal funds to bring faster internet in the mid 2000s and didn’t do a thing until over a decade later), so I can’t feasibly share anything outside of my household users. I’m seriously considering setting up some hosted services if I can’t get fiber when I’ve nailed down my setup. I’d rather host everything at home, but I’d much rather offer my relatives access to something that isn’t selling their info to anyone with a checkbook. If I’m maintaining it and I’m the one who can accidentally lose everyone’s stuff with a bad command, I’m self-hosting it.
