yeah as I said, a lot of good motives, mentioning cringe is childish

of all the motives to be against open carry, putting cringe as one of them is … cringe.

You talk like it’s a done deal and recent talks about a referendum to revisit never existed.

do you want a cookie?

[insert obama awarding obama meme here]

I mean the UK won’t return Gilbraltar to Spain who were in the EU with them they won’t obviously return the falklands.

I’d like to see the UK also defending the “vote of the people” if Ireland voted to leave the UK

You pay it by buying new hardware.

My 2013 macbook pro with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD has been deprecated by apple so the latest OS it gets is Big Sur, it has now been barred from signing updates (since they require the latest XCode which I cannot get with Big Sur) so its only viable life is via Linux from now on.

I have had to buy a Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM and a 250 GB SSD to be able to upload updates for my iOS apps.

I mean I can afford it, but yeah, we are paying for OS updates dude.

That’s the reason they also updated their EULAs to set a minimum renting period of 24hs for providers like Amazon and MacStadium. They want you buying hardware, they don’t want to leave any easy way out.

the fucking gall of calling massa centrist. shit-tier journalism.

we have problems with governments over printing. this shit has happened again and again for decades and it won’t stop.

Google has banned whole accounts of some users for copy pasting comments on Youtube chat (similar to what people do on Twitch).

I wouldn’t gamble on it.

PSA: skirting their attempts to block ad blockers if you have a Google account you would rather keep may be unwise.

Google has been known for banning people for stupid crap, and this checks all the boxes.

While they were silent on this topic there was a gentlemen’s agreement that you could block ads. But now that they have voiced their opinion the jig is up.

I’d recommend people to use an alternative account if they are going to block anyway and they want to keep their gmail.

Well of course you can do it quickly with vim. Regardless, my suspicion is that OP deleted the lines manually, hence the need to mention it a couple of times. Otherwise, why would they even mention something you can do with grep in a literal second.

you mentioned it twice so I fear the worst, please tell me you didn’t remove 14000 lines manually using a text editor.

this is not audio specific but just an FYI, reinstalling does nothing on an updated system unless the program files were corrupted somehow, which is not normal.

to really reinstall a program from scratch you have to use apt-get purge or apt purge to ensure that global configurations files are removed, and pay attention to the logs printed out because some files may not be removed.

then, you have to manually delete your user configuration files for those programs, or create a new user un your computer to test it out first to see if user config files are generating any troubles.

just test it out.

some setups will work fine with wayland and some will work better with xorg.

there are of course ways solve those issues, but it’s easier to test both and use the one that works best for you.

wayland is the future, but the present is whatever works best for you.

I’ve seen some nasty videos I’d rather forget where they scream and cry all the way through it.

yeah I got a fancy lab power supply but stopped at oscilloscopes, those things are expensive.

it’s still cheap and fun to do a lot of stuff, but now I wanna build a sound-card based oscilloscope.

dd is good if the destination disk is equal or bigger, unless you are brave enough to shrink the source partition.

if you are moving to a smaller disk for whatever reason (hdd to sdd) then you need to fallback to a different method, which takes us back to cp/rsync.

why not? sudo cp -ax foots the bill.

I assume people prefer rsync because you may need to run it twice, but unless you tick all the boxes rsync won’t copy capabilities (see getcap /usr/bin/rsh)

sudo cp -ax is short and sweet and does everything right.

it’s not the recommended way but it’s how I’ve been doing.

you format the new drives and just cp -a -x from the running os to the destination, update the destination fstab, then treat the new drives as an os with a broken boot and continue from there.
