I went camping once with my dad and a few of his buddies when it was frigid cold outside. We piled 5 adult bodies into a camper, and they also left a Coleman gas lantern lit inside the camper all night for warmth.

I couldn’t sleep for two reasons:

1. One of my dad’s buddies had horrible snoring, and

2. I could feel myself choking on the stale air. I ventured outside every so often and would hold the camper door open for a few minutes (or until I would get yelled at). I don’t remember 100% but I think I had a persistent headache that night.

I’m still convinced we could have all died.

Iirc the original steamOS was Debian based and you really had to be an experienced Linux user to use and enjoy it.

With the new steamOS (arch based?) it’s a much more streamlined experience and opens up the user base because of it

On my machine, the L2 cache is 256KiB

Is this a typo or are they running on a Pentium 3?

But my boomer aunt told me it means ‘Lots Of Love’!

Reminds me of an IRC snippet from the now defunct bash.org site -

user1: I ATTACK YOU WITH YAWGMOTH’S SODOMITE. DO YOU BLOCK? Y/N

user2: n

In the future, you should look into using LVMs for your partitions. I ran into a similar problem recently where my /var needed to be increased - I was able to run a simple lvextend -L+4G /dev/myvg/var --resizefs to grow my /var by 4 gigabytes.

Before I was using LVMs though I used a gparted live disk a lot

I’ve been a decades long Gentoo user, but now I’m experimenting with NixOS as I’ve gotten older and value my time more. The 12+ hours of compiling when there’s a chromium / QT update is no longer a badge of honor. I haven’t fully converted though, Gentoo binary packages are working as an acceptable stopgap

I don’t think he knows about second gun, Pip

I’m using Gentoo with systemd and a customized kernel, and additionally I have the /usr partition LUKS encrypted. Because /usr is absolutely essential for systemd to function, I configured dracut to make a specially crafted initrd which activates the luks lvm and prompts for the password to decrypt and mount /usr on startup before systemd init tries to run.

About a year or two ago, some update to dracut or some other dependency (assumption) caused the dracut generated initrd’s to kernel panic. After multiple days of troubleshooting, I discovered that just copying forward an older initrd in /boot and naming it to match the new kernel, e.g. initramfs-6.6.38-gentoo.img , allows the system to boot normally .

So, my Gentoo is booting a kernel 6.6.something with a ramdisk generated in the 5.9 kernel era. I am dreading the day when this behavior breaks and I can no longer update my kernel 😳

The doctor thought I might have brain damage.

Whoa oh oh oh, I’ll never give in

This is great on so many levels - from the context of the original show it also implies Zelenskyy is banging Putin’s mom 🤣

Wtf I can’t unsee this shit

Yes

This is the way (as in this is what I do). Every once in a while you’ll have to hard reset the laptop because Windows.

A thread on the site which shall not be named convinced me that a majority of the books are recently published and with above average to highly scored on reviews, so I bought it.

Why the Linux Firewalls book hails from 2007 is a strange outlier.

Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.

This tool is written in go and is a 7.8 MB compiled binary.
