The only problem is the lack of dynamic partitioning such as #lvm on #OpenBSD.
Of course, the classic "fix" to that is to only add what you think you'll need, and leave plenty of free space at the end of the partition.
That's what I did on my most recent install.

Classic UNIXy best practice: isolate partitions so that runaway logs/etc don't fill /

Hey #AskFedi / #HiveMind,
I've been given a zip file full of JPEGs of pages of a #document. I asked for a scan, and was given photos. The photos are ok, but some of the pages are curled, more than the GIMP perspective/3D transform tool can correct for.
Are there any good document scanning programs for #Linux that I can feed a stack of JPEGs to and get a usable PDF out of? It has to be able to handle some perspective and page curl issues.

Normalize never, ever using the words "content*," and try to avoid referring to someone as simply "a creator."
(And it shouldn't even need to be said that "influencer" is absolutely verboten).
Instead of "content," say "art," "compositions," "pieces," "videos," "paintings," "stores," "work[s]," whatever.
Instead of "creator," say "maker," "videographer," "painter," "artist," etc.
*Of course, you *can* use the word "conTENT," like "I'm quite content to sit here and toot my toots, fam."

Did some numbers on the scripts in my git repo:
total lines=8096
scripts=101
average lines per script=80.16
median lines per script=47
(I hope I'm calculating the median correctly: I'm just sorting the list of number of lines per script and taking the middle item -- there's 101 of them, so that's pretty simple)

A couple weeks ago, I was swimming and I took off my earplugs and nose clip and put them in the pocket of my swim trunks.
A few seconds later, I noticed my earplugs floating away and I quickly snatched them up again, but I couldn't find my noseclip anywhere, even after several minutes' search.
A few days ago, I was getting ready to go back to the pool when I noticed something in the same pocket of my swim trunks: a single leaf.
It was like the pool was trying to apologize. 😝

How to infuriate a #Casio watch user:
"Go time something in the dark!!"
#CasioCult-ists, say "*sigh*!"

I agree with your assessment, and I don't believe that behavior should be tolerated.
But I think we should be careful to exclude behaviors, and not people directly.
People do change.
I sure have.

I have mixed feelings about Lunduke being (back?) on the Fediverse.
Dude's videos got me back into Linux full-time five years ago.
Like many, I find his politics VERY concerning.
I'm not going to ignore the infamy he seems to enjoy, nor his penchant for twisting facts wholesale to his liking, but neither will I be joining the hate train.
Hopefully, he will find the Fediverse as welcoming and liberating as I have for the past two years.
lol, no they gonna eat him alive 🤦🏻‍♂️😿

Not enough cameras. 😂

I don't say this enough, but man, I'm just so honored to be here among all you amazing weirdos.
The #Fediverse is the best online community I've ever experienced in *thirty-three* years of being on the #Internet.

Things that happen faster than an #HDMI monitor activating:
* Birthday parties
* Major lawsuits
* Political campaigns
* Death row appeals (yes, I live in barbaric country and state)
* Magnetic pole shifts
* Ice ages
* The heat death of the universe
I might be exaggerating... slightly. XD

Am I remembering correctly that Redox will also have the COSMIC DE?
I mentions that to someone a hole hack, and wanted to make sure I remembered that right.

I just noticed that my new(er) 2016 #Thinkpad doesn't have keyboard weep holes on the bottom.
That is a considerable loss.
O to have a 2005-era ThinkTANK with 2024 guts inside (or, you know, even 2014, lol)
The 25th-anniversary "T25"s are still crazy-expensive on eBay, even though the T470 they're based on are cheap.

Writing in my journal just now, and my internal/mental #500Character alarm just went off.
Guys, this is just stupid. Make it 5000 characters already.

To be fair, it *is* quite fast, and the RAM usage isn't totally unreasonable, but yeah, it's CHONK.
It's iamb, a matrix client, written in rust.

It's 2024.
You go to compile a CLI chat utility.
It sucks down 600 dependencies, eats gigabytes of RAM while compiling, and pegs your CPUs.
Done compiling; you run it, it's perfect, does everything you need.
Memory footprint: 86 MiB.
This is fine?!?!?!?!????

You wanted atomic commits?
YOU GOT ATOMIC COMMITS, baby. XD

Random #dieting tip:
Lettuce and Hummus!
Skip almost all of the carbs, get all of the flavor and most of the crunch.
Amazing combo.

Do they have an ARM build? That would be neat. :)
