that'll teach me to type in a hurry. I meant df, not du. Lookup man page for options

Am I missing something? He does say things out loud that many of us know (and barely talk about) and others ignore. He's got a talent for explaining hard concepts to teens willing to listen.

Yes the change may need to be induced from the top and we get to chose who's at the top and push things forward through exercising democracy. Read his books, listen to his talks then go and act.

I'd be curious to see du -i to see what's going on with inodes. Alternatively I did have an issue long time ago with docker containers, sparse files and dirty disk. Force-running fsck resolved my issues in the past.

given performance of Dems thus far Republicans won't need POTUS47 to sweep midterms. People still don't trust Dems. DNC insistence that "we just need to change methods of messaging" instead of revamping their platform does not bode well for democraxy

Sadly Brave was better behaving on my Android phone than Firefox. I suppose time to go back to roots

guy who is not authorised to make foreign policy decisions travels overseas on public's dime to.... make foreign policy decisions??? So couple of obvious themes:

  1. guy likes to travel with comfort on public dime
  2. it's a private bribe session
  3. he'll be asking US to kick some money his way to take over the "uncooperative" government

He should get it, only to create new fault line within GOP so fervently trying to erase vaccines. Disconnect dictator and his base. Also Nobel prizes are not what they used to be so there's no loss on chucking this under the bus

with CBC breaking news of him inviting "project 2025" person to speak to cabinet it might aswell be true

Did you look at Greener Homes Plan? It's a federal program and similar to First Home Buyer's program where you get interest free loan for 10 yrs and power companies for the most part have a program of "buying" your excess power so you can start with that. BC Hydro offers $5k rebate on battery systems as well, so now is a good time to jump in.

it's interesting to observe that Democrats are not stepping up their efforts to sway voters and win gerymandered districts, but rather "play politics". There's a distinct vacuum in US politics where working class has been completely abandoned by republicans and democrats, where republicans are busy enriching themselvesband democrats are busy enriching rich donors who in turn shower democrats (with small exceptions) in kickbacks etc. Whoever seizes workers can have next election, but no politician seems to be interested. It really looks like Idiocracy v1.0 is in the works.

Fun facts (that should never get in the way of PP rant) :

  • Solar is government sibsidised
  • Rural is the best location for solar (what with all those acreages, barns etc)
  • Full off-grid capabilities where you don't have to run to town for anything)... well.maybe dieselfor tractor
  • I see quite a few rural installs and when I mention to folks availability of Solar at slight premium for the first 10yrs a lot of folk are "sold" on the idea

so yeah, Armageddon and killing a way of life... maybe hillbilly's way of life but definitely not rural, 'cause we're down with full power independence baby!

you're forgetting that POTUS47 and Murdoch fell out, so this could be a deliberate piece of honest journalism done by Fox. She could be thrown under the bus at later date, but this bears marks of a planned attack on higher level.

 

Fedora 40 running on Dell laptop with KDE spin has done it twice on separate occasions: after rebooting for updates it just hangs after applying them. Is this something known? I've looked on google but could find only similar queries in other places with no answers or "just hard reset it" answers. I've been running Fedora for over a decade now and haven't seen such behaviour until recent releases. Some config drift? something else?

 

Pi Cap has everything I need for my project in terms of function, however their howto page has 2022 update stating that Bullseye does not work with it and one needs to use Buster. I would appreciate any pointers.

 

Is there an abridged version (1-2 pages) of main game math mechanics for v3.5 or v5?

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?

 

I'm trying to make my own window sills in our new house. We have windows rather deep so depth is around 9in and wide - 42/60in. I'm looking at read oak vs douglas fir. Red oak is mainly available in sub 8in cuts. The only one I found in 9in is 3/4 thick. Would that be sufficient to support plant pots or potentially human sitting on them? However Fir I can get in various sizes so I was looking at 1in thick.

Which one would be more practical? Oak at 3/4 or Fir at 1in?

My reading was that fir is sufficiently softer so plant pots may leave imprints etc. or am I wrong there?

 

I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

 

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.
