Deckweiss , to linux in Convert second disk with OS to pure data storage

I feel like you are overthinking this.

Option 1 is what I would do. Seems very straight forward. And additionally:

Moving files around or deleting files is a very quick operation, because the filesystem will only edit the “metadata” and not have to copy the whole file bit by bit to a different disk.

Maybe delete the OS files first (everything except /home). So it’s not cluttered from the start. Then copy stuff from /home/user/stuff to /

Take special attention to the /boot partition. I don’t know which drive the bootloader for your nobora os is installed. It may have been automatically put together with your Ubuntu to your HDD.

luciferofastora OP ,

I feel like you are overthinking this

Yes, most certainly, but given my own inexperience I figured I’d rather overthink than fuck up because I didn’t know about some detail.

Take special attention to the /boot partition. I don’t know which drive the bootloader for your nobora os is installed. It may have been automatically put together with your Ubuntu to your HDD.

Fairly sure the boot partition is on the new SSD, but I’ll check and leave it untouched if I’m not sure.

Thanks for your advice!

ouch , to linux in backups for SD card disk image? that don't take up tonnes of space and can be rolled back?

I recommend just backing up the files.

But if you really have to back up the disk image, dd a copy of it, mount the copied image as loopback device, write the loopback filesystem full of /dev/zero, sync, delete the zero file(s), unmount, cp --sparse=always and store the result.

The reason for using the loopback image step is to prevent wearing out the SD card with writing the free space full of zeros every time you make a backup.

There may be an existing tool for this, but I don’t remember it.

Sharex. The ultimate scree shotting utility. There are dozens of post capture tasks like upload to website, copy to clipboard, save to file, etc. You can do all of them at once, and it even caputes gifs!

From (www.themoviedb.org/tv/124364-from)

Season 3 should be done by end of September.

Other suggestions in this thread are pretty good.

And one of my preferred show; Utopia (the UK version) warning it is unfinished, only two seasons but this is just a great show. Take care of not watching the cropped version. Also it is so cool this TV show aired before COVID19.

It’s the male version of adding -lin to the end of a name.

christophski ,

Never heard of this, what are some examples? Maybe caitlin? Just looked that up, it’s an Irish name.

Croquette ,

You take a common name and add “lin” or any variation of that sound at the end.

The only example I have at the top of my head is Jessica-Lyn because I knew one person with that name in the past, but you get the gist.

I don’t think there’s any history, it was just popular in the midwest in the 2000s

Caitlyn, Kaylin, Ashlin, Jaylin, Roselin, Jaquelin, Shaelin. Same with adding “leigh”

bionicjoey ,

The English name suffix -in comes from the french name suffix -inne which is a feminine modifier. Eg. Jacques is a masculine name, Jacqueline is a feminine name.

Has crypto failed?

Yes

BTC 130% up last 365 days. 10% up last 30 days

But seriously if everybody would use crypto, the up and downs wouldn’t matter. The value/pourcentage is only VS Fiat.

bionicjoey ,

Newsflash: currencies shouldn’t wildly fluctuate in value. The fact that people use it like a stock market investment, (and an idiotic one at that, since there is no underlying business), is exactly why it has failed to be a currency.

dmegatool ,
@dmegatool@lemmy.ca avatar

It fluctuate vs the Fiat value, not with itsleft. The supply of BTC is determined, not like the printing machines we got now.

bionicjoey ,

Nothing’s value fluctuates with itself. Money supply is controlled through interest rates in modern economies because it works better than directly controlling the money supply. Your comment betrays an unsurprising lack of understanding of the most basic concepts of economics. You’re just parroting some talking points you’ve heard from techbros.

hglman ,

No, you think economics is a physical science and it isnt. It works like it does bc its been made to work that way. It could work differently.

Also Bitcoin isn’t the only way cryptocurrency could or does work.

lynndotpy , to asklemmy in What email provider do you use? Would you recommend it?

Fastmail, 100%. Reasons:

  • “Encrypted email” only works between encrypted providers. ProtonMail and Tutanota are both very inconvenient, and all I want is an email that’s not scanned for marketing.
  • Since 2018, ProtonMail kept getting worse, especially with the recent AI stuff. Dodged bullet, IMO.
  • $6/month = Custom domains, and any amount of emails under those domains. I can send and receive from any domain xxx@yyy [dot] lynndotpy [dot] dev, for example.
  • CalDav and CardDav provider = Contacts, calendar, and reminders sync. Works perfectly on iOS too, if you like that.

It replaced my finnicky NextCloud for half the cost.

lynndotpy , (edited ) to linux in Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech?

Learning Linux was probably the very best thing for my career.

The fact that I use Linux as my primary OS has been a positive in almost every interview I’ve been in as the interviewee. Linux has been used everywhere I’ve been, and that represents a huge amount of upskilling they can skip.

As an interviewer, I’d say that developers who use Linux generally understand their development stack better.

trilobite , to selfhosted in Pfsense, Opensense and OpenWRT - what's the deal?

This thread has reminded me that I have Ruckus APs that mesh. But support had been dropped because they are “old”. Presumably there is no open source solution that I can flsh these with, still allowing me the meshing?

anamethatisnt ,

OpenWrt with 802.11r and 802.11s configured will work as a mesh network with roaming functionality.
