Potentialy dumb question here, is there any benefit to using btrfs on a non system disk? I’m fairly ignorant on file systems, asfaik btrfs largest benefit is snapshotting, not sure of anyothers.

I have a specific book I’ve been meaning to read for awhile. I’ve heard that while it’s a great journey, it’s a dense / heavy / slow read along the way. It sounds like it’d be fun to read it together with a group of likewise interested folks....

My instance has (already) decided to not block a particular instance, which in the majority I find to be divisive, at best. I keep missing the instance source in the user names, and it’s the single biggest source of bad lemmy experience....

Is there any keyboard which lets you configure the service used for voice input?...

For whatever reason about a week ago, the Jerboa app stopped opening links. It used to open up in Chrome, but now it just opens Chrome to the last page I was on and doesn’t load the link....

Hello. I’ve been a window user from win95. I’d like to learn more about Linux but don’t know where to start. I had a brief intro when I was in highschool and recently I’ve been seeing more and more talk here on Lemmy. Mostly memes....

Hey all,...

There are more efficient formats like JPEG-XL, HEIF and WebP. If you convert the RAW -> JPEG -> WebP you are losing more quality. I think iPhone uses HEIF format....

Like I live near a ranch (is that the right word?) of cows and I don’t want to see some 🐮 as my last image before death. Not a troll I swear 🙏

You know roughly where your body is at all times, but where in it is your “self”?...

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

Specifically in the USA, but feel free to share your status quo. We live in the internet age, doesn’t that cut overhead with filing and make things cheaper?

What evolutional benefit is that?

And what’s a good icon for all of the senses, collectively?

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldn’t find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?

I am interested in how pirates on the internet (which i am not) would get there hands on the files to a game, just, for example, Baldur’s Gate 3, without torrenting? Now, I have heard tell of a place where these nefarious no-gooders would do this, for example gog-games.to. But, once they have acquired the file, what steps to...

I’m using Gnome on Fedora and was wondering what terminal everyone’s using? When I had a Mac I really liked iTerm2 and was hoping to find a suitable Linux version, but so far no such luck. I’ve tried Guake but I can’t get the F12 binding to work....

I have enough machines on my network that I’ve long wanted to get better monitoring going on, and I finally bit the bullet and I’m trying to push through learning my way around grafana and prometheus/node extension. I have been following this guide: grafana.com/docs/…/docker-compose-linux/ (great, btw!) but after importing...

quick question for the community:...

Annotations for Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x02: “I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee”:...

I let people rate how much they like different things on a scale of 1-10. How do I actually tell if people like one thing more than another thing if the sample sizes are different? This is not about any real scientific study, more like a personal test :)...

And just, wow. I’m a bit disappointed they tried to cop out Ramza and Alma’s death, because it feels like that cheapens the whole thing, but it’s easy enough to head canon....

How can I allow a user/s to edit/update shared contacts in Exchange/Outlook 365?

Why are packages labled com.person.mypackage rather than just person.mypackage
