partitions are used for organizing, the downside is that more partitions make each one smaller
I end up running 1 btrfs partition sagred between all my installed Linux distros on one system
lvm is also awesome for resizing and moving partitions
my desktop right now has nvme0n1p1 as my efi partition and p2 as a lvm pv
inside that lvm I put everything else as it’s very easy to resize and move them (I also have p2 encrypted with luks2)
/run contains all sorts of virtual stuff, it doesn’t persist over a reboot,
I would advise against deleting anything in it as those files are used by programs running as whether user has the ID of 1000 (most likely you)
it contains things such as sockets and lock files so that programs can interact with each other
ah I misunderstood, thought you talking about underload, not idle power use
all the laptops I’ve ever had have been able to reliability pull the full power (like within 30 watts) of their power adapter rating so that’s a good estimate
another roart of the thread suggested using the Celeron box as an OPNsense router
OPNsense is a gateway/firewall/DHCP/router my network looks like this
optical to Ethernet conversion (the isp’s things) -> opnsense box -> network switch -> all other device (including wifi APs)
all traffic gets routed thru the opnsense box as it is the gateway to my network, runs the ipv4 nat and DHCP server
router in their comment refers to the the one that actually touches the Internet
not sure your exact case, but I would highly recommend using pipewire, Bluetooth audio devices were nothing but pain for me with pulse audio and they just worked on pipewire
I’ve used Sony xm4s
what do you mean? they’re fine unless you want to read or write to them… wait a minute
one of those pi kvms or the like could turn on any system even if it doesn’t support wake on lan
man it crazy I switched to Wayland on my laptop and docking to 3 monitors just worked on Wayland and it would remember all my monitors settings
I hand like 2 or 3 scripts setup to try and manage that on x11
virt-manager can also connect to remote hosts over ssh
I think you can already do this in one shortcuts, not sure of any standalone program that does, if definably accidentally bond like Ctrl+d, Ctrl+s to screenshot before
I think at one point I had like 2.5 tb of stuff stored on my 2 tb drive in my laptop, deduplication and btrfs compression is fun
ram matters because the CPU will use the worse speeds and worse timings of all the sticks, drive reads and rights are buffered so it doesn’t really matter
ah, classic isp dumbassery
wdym except Verizon? I have a whole section of /56 for me in ipv6, tho the Verizon website is ipv4 only
on my laptop I have tpm to decrypt my drive and I’ve also enabled secure boot and set a bios password, so if someone steals my laptop it’s basically bricked,
secure boots there to prevent any potential tampering if someone were to take the drive out then put it back in
I feel this setup is secure enough for me, if you’ve got some nation state after you, or some guy with a wrench theres probably nothing you can do
arch is super stable ( for the most part ) at with the arch install script it’s easier than ever to install, endeavouros is a gui installer but leaves you with basically an arch system
ive been running arch on my desktop and laptop for years and the only issue I had was that fucked up grub change that somehow got thru
I think people misspeak, windows puts the windows bootloader first after some updates
uhhhh halfa bottle??? hoping u have a tiny ass bottle cuz anything more than like 2 tablespoons is an insane amount of a plate of Mac and cheese
also no ketchup on box Mac, we aren’t serial killers
