  • Did a system upgrade overwrite your grub config?

  • What is it about sonic that does this to its fandom?

  • Duolingo keeps beating me up about trapist beer, the gravensteen being older than the atomium and red devils loving stew and sprouts

  • There is a grub argument to pass to the kernel that disables that renaming behaviour entirely.

  • Is that just forcing the cpu scheduler? I use ubuntu-mate, and theres just a dropdown widget to switch between balanced/power/powersave.

  • Cash in the UK is extremely dead already. I've not even seen any of the plastic notes except for the £10.

    I had a taxi in Crewe say "cash only" and the fury on my face was incredible. What the fuck do you mean cash only?

  • vanilla with no configuration.

  • My thinkpads have always gone further on ubuntu than on windaz.

  • We have a telegram bot and it doesnt like certain links

  • And sometimes someone had a hexagon and got rightly dunked on.

  • ... People have profile pictures?

  • relatedly, I used to use a 4x bay USB3 caddy for some disks.. It was OK, but didn't expose the raw disks and the controller was pretty fucky swallowing things like SMART.

  • It and some other network appliance bits draw ~ 100W continuous.

    I think a good chunk of that is the disks, but I could be wrong.

  • How much power does just the NAS use?

    the NAS is the bulk of the 100W.

    Are you running something like Unraid or TrueNAS, or are you just running a 'regular' Linux distro?

    Ubuntu + ZFS. I don't see the appeal of running a non-mainline distribution. All I did was set it up so ZFS sends me emails and a crontab to run a ZFS resilver weekly.

  • Another reason to avoid a Synology. I had a HP Microserver gen 8 that I ditched due to CPU constraints and ECC ram. Just got 32G of cheap DDR4.

  • My main beef with that MediaTek X2x platform is the hella dated hacked up kernel it was stuck with which meant the damn thing never got mainlined so my Planet Gemini has been nothing but a paperweight.

    I dont want android, I want linux damnit.

  • Run your fun things in containers and you can't make a mess of the host.
