With the size of modern linux kernels, I think 1GiB for a /boot partition is the absolute minimum I would go for a current full-sized distributuon. You’ll run into these out-of-space issues on updates all the time otherwise.

I’ve used an old, out-of-support phone as a permanently plugged-in homeassistant control panel. Not quite self-hosting as in phone-server, but a fun easy project and a great way to keep an old device in use.

The bang syntax makes duckduckgo easily the best search engine - it’s a shortcut to everything, the perfect gateway to the internet.

Can you give us the full output of the following commands?

ip addr

sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6

I have a playlist of the allegro movements from a bunch of baroque violin and harpsichord corcertos that is really nice to do intense head-down work to. Mostly Bach.
Baroque for the structure - feels mathematical and easy to predict and follow, making it easy to listen to while focusing on something else. The allegro movements for the pace - upbeat and invigorating. And a concerto has a great balance between large-scale blended orchestral sound and the melody of a lead instrument which also lends itself to supporting your focus on something else from the background.

It’s kind of a dead square, since it’s hard to be arch-based without being pacman-based, and I figured “well, it still technically fits” haha 🤷‍♀️

“alpine as arch” is the kind of radical anarchy that deserves its own alignment chart, so here’s the best I could do on my phone.

Toldinstone (classical history youtuber) has a great video on ancient Roman wine that talks about this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4rhT7EkTgu0

Edgelord atheist mad at christianity and islam: “every religion is genocide and hate, and I hate them.”

Buddhists , jains, pagans, etc: “hey excuse you buddy.”

I use heads firmware, which seals an otp key in the tpm to let you verify the integrity of the firmware, which then uses your gpg pubkey written into the firmware to verify the integrity of the boot partition.
An open, self-controlled equivalent to secure boot that relies on the tpm and your own gpg key, instead of on vendor secure boot signing keys. Very cool project!

Fuck outta here with this bullshit.

The “frontpage” is whatever you make it - don’t join low-quality meme and news communities if you don’t like their content.

Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima - Krzysztof Penderecki

10 minutes of eerie, menacing beauty.

I use Vanadium/Trivalent (GrapheneOS fork of mobile Chromium and its desktop equivalent) for general internet use on a general-use system, and Firefox inside of specific qubes for specific purposes otherwise.

On a general-use system, the additional security of Vanadium and Trivalent give me a bit of peace of mind when using the same browser for admin work, sensitive stuff like banking, and general browsing.

With the Qubes model, everything is segmented and isolated anyway, so I can use Firefox, which despite its flaws has been my favorite since the Netscape days.

The dystopian part is being required by law to use a specific form of authentication tied to your real identity by the government in order to access the internet.

That sounds like a horribly dystopian solution to a horribly dystopian problem.

Four Weddings and a Funeral is a movie I adore entirely for the side characters, and pretty much ignore the two main characters and storyline completely.
The main friend group feels so real and alive and lovely, they’re charming and funny, and watching them be friends at their weddings and funeral feels like optimistic slice-of-life escapism. And beyond that, pretty much every other side character is memorable and funny and a joy to watch, especially Rowan Atkinson as the anxious priest. Great movie, 10/10, can’t remember the main characters at all.

Yep exactly! Setting up a raspberry pi low-performance computing cluster with secondary usb nics, going slowly insane trying to figure out why the vlan interfaces wouldn’t work when their base interfaces worked just fine, and going down all of the wrong rabbit holes along the way.

ifupdown2 has a 15-character interface name limit, and the systemd predictable interface naming system uses the mac address for usb nics (giving them a 15-character name), so if you try to create a vlan subinterface of a usb nic using the standard interface.vlan naming scheme on a systemd host, it will fail, and you’ll have to set up systemd network link files to rename the base interfaces to something shorter.

Yes, with the official M16A4 unit being defined as 1/100th the length between the goal lines of an American Football field.
