Als je nagaat hoeveel regels we in ons huidige belastingstelsel hebben, voor een groot deel om mensen niet teveel te belasten, denk ik dat hier ook wel een mouw aan te passen is.

I dislike having the hyphens key as a dead key

Yeah, that sucks. You can have the best of both worlds in Linux by using the US keyboard with the "English (intl., with AltGr dead keys)" keyboard variant. This way, all your qwerty keys will work normally, but you can tell it a key combination is coming up by tapping AltGr. So you can for instance type

<AltGr>

<u>

<AltGr>

<s>

<s>

And in KDE at least, you can use any key you like to perform the function of AltGr. I suppose other DE's can do the same.

I remember I had over one hundred floppies to install it all. And those were just for the stuff I was interested in. This was circa 1996. I bought Red Hat 5.0 a year or so later. It came on 4 CD-ROM's and was cheaper than that pile of floppies had been.

My son's Windows laptop did the same. Turns out there is a setting to make Windows truly shut down when selecting "shut down" from the menu, because normally it secretly sleeps or hibernates or something to have faster start-up times. There's also the power another device via USB option that you may have to disable in BIOS / EFI settings.

Jeez, are they still using mail pigeons?

Because having more ticked boxes than the competition sells. Doesn't matter if it's of any relevance.

Jeez, next time just use a knife my dude.

They made it free so they could sell courses and consultancy hours. Can't do that if it's all straightforward. It's the death star of complexity.

Jammer dat een artikel van de kinderombudvrouw achter een betaalmuur verdwijnt.

So I downloaded slackware on dozens of disks.

This is no joke. When I downloaded Slackware in '95 or '96, it was over 100 3.5" floppies of 1.44 MB each. And there were still more available, those were just the ones I thought I'd need. And before you could even begin installing, each of those had to be downloaded, written and verified because floppies were not terribly reliable.

Die vergelijken de volgende keer gewoon weer partijprogramma's en komen dan opnieuw bij BBB uit 🤡

But more importantly, e-bikes are supposed to have a speed limiter set to 25km/h anyway.

It's maddening. The power of propaganda is truly impressive.

And then a DBA comes in

I'm convinced that's a mythical being. In my 20+ years of experience I've never encountered one.

Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?

After running low on storage space on Windows 10 I have considered upgrading to a larger drive, 2-4 TiB. With my switch to Linux I’d like to know if there is an easy way to take all my files from my previous drive into the new one with all the correct paths configured, without reinstalling Linux?

I can see this meaning a number of different things:

1. you want to move your home directory to a separate partition: You can just create a new partition and move your stuff there. People have suggested rsync, and that's fine. Personally, I'd use mc (midnight commander) for that because it's easier.
2. you want to know how to transfer your future home partition to a future bigger drive: You could do as above, or you could use clonezilla for that.
3. you want to transfer files from your old Windows setup to your new Linux system: You can just mount an NTFS partition and do as described under point 1. I'd be wary to write to an NTFS partition, but reading from it works just fine.

Hmm, I'm fewer sure of that.

It's the sum total. SSD's would have become the success they are today if it were localized.

Can confirm, have a cat and don't have that issue. Because I lock the screen when leaving the machine unattended.

Even LibreOffice can only recover what has been saved. And if autosave is off, there might be less to recover than desirable. Again, that's a UXD problem.

That's why I lock my machine before walking away. That's
