I've never heard of sub volumes. What do they do for me? Why not just partition the disk or store everything on the one partition?

This is really disappointing. I had hoped for a lot more representation for the AGPL and GPL.

Just fixing the link.

Wagtail (Python/Django based) is pretty good. One of its big strengths is that since it's Django based, it's easy to extend.

It doesn't have to be environmentally damaging. Years ago there was a group called "valve turners" who just closed emergency shut off valves all over the place.

Isn't most of what's in there just filters downloaded from the internet? Python packages, browser cache, etc? Your system confirms you to redownloading everything all the time, no?

It's fine if all you need/want is a Linuxy shell to work with, but if you actually want a proper Linux computer, with a DE that doesn't suck, mapable keyboard shortcuts, no spyware, working workspaces, tools that do what you want rather than what Microsoft wants for you, etc., you're going to be miserable.

How did you get it to generate at that size and aspect ratio?

Acting like EVs were a solution at all was never a serious position in the first place.

Not sure why it should be. You're innocent until proven guilty.

I'm really disappointed with the NDP. Their abandonment of the socialist platform and their shite environmental record in BC and Alberta were a slap in the face for those who have fought for them over the years.

They're still a better choice than the Liberals or Conservatives, but I don't think they really understand what they've given up by sabotaging their base as they have.

...and it plays well with cookie auto delete!

I don't know where you're getting this idea.

The list of sources includes a bunch of notable progressive voices like Ricochet and Press Progress, while I couldn't find a single right wing example (extreme or otherwise). Browsing the headlines on their front page, every last story I saw lacked any reference to hyperbole, and most of the stories took positions typically occupied by the Left.

People shouted slogans and were charged... with what exactly?

Wikipedia says it was 1991.

I think she would have gotten the file via hot... something, this little file sharing network that predates Napster.

Edit: It was probably Hotline, which was launched in '97, so there's probably some corruption to the received email date somewhere. I wasn't exactly tech savvy 25 years ago ;-)

In most cases, it's everything. I've made mistakes over the years, screwing up a transfer or when migrating between servers, and I expect I probably lost some attachments here and there, but yeah, it's everything.

It's actually not as crazy as you might think:

    
$ du -sh .Maildir/
13G	.Maildir/

  

That's going back to 2000 1995, both sent & received. The first email I have in there is from a friend of mine offering to send me an MP3 she downloaded.

I still have every email I've ever received, going back now more than 20 years. My solution isn't terribly fancy, but it gets the job done.

I have a Synology here at home running a mail server. You don't need a Synology specifically, just a simple mail server with access to a lot of disk space. The server isn't on the Open web or anything and doesn't support SMTP. It's just running IMAP to serve the local mail around the house.

I connect to it from Thunderbird on my various machines. I also use Thunderbird to connect to my actual mail servers to do my day-to-day mail stuff.

Every six months or so, I move old mail messages from my actual mail servers over to the archival one. Generally, I keep the mail on the archival server in folders; one per year, that keeps the loading time to a minimum. For example, come January 1st 2024, I'll be moving mail from January 2023 - June 2023 to the /2023 folder on the archive.

Searching is done via Thunderbird just like you search any mail account, and on my desktop machine, I let Thunderbird keep copies of the mail locally for quick searching. On my laptop though, I ask it to not keep copies to save disk space.

We can't affect their policy directly, but as close allies that supply them with weapons, we're uniquely suited to demand a ceasefire. Our leverage is that we would stop providing them with weapons and political cover to continue their genocide. We could even adopt sanctions, or work with the Hague to have Netanyahu tried for war crimes.

Ooh, nice idea, thanks!
