Apple by this time next year: We need to epoxy the entire airspace inside the new iphone because.. waterproofing? Sure waterproofing I promise that's why we did that.

On instances that do not use downvotes they aren't counted when viewed from that instance.

The typical distro's installer will just take care of setting up GRUB for you, don't worry about that. I'm doing something similar with my home partition, except I made a home partition with all the expected user folders ~/Videos ~/Documents ~/Music ~/Games etc and then used overlayFS which keeps ~/.config/ and the like separate for each OS partition while letting me share everything else.

Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

Yes, easily done.
Open KDE partition manager
Create your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.
Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.
Once it's transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.
Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check "automatically mount on boot"

You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!

I hope this sentiment never stops someone from uploading a textbook without OCR. Once it's scanned it can always be OCRed at a later time.

This reminds me of one of the best bits from the Xanth novels, where the male unicorns peacock for the female unicorns by leaping in the air and landing horn-first in the ground, then see who can balance like that the longest.

Which is second only to the part in the same book where the main character is taking a shit in the woods when a harpy shows up and he has to try to run away with his pants down, unwiped, while the harpy is shouting abuse after him data-laughing

This "you can't Forward your own ports" shit needs to be made illegal. It's cutting off your ability to run your own service and making everyone a passive consumer on the Internet if you aren't one of the big tech companies.

Is it a linux box, and if so would you be able to ssh into this box? You could rename them that way right?

At a certain point if you aren't at least looking at alternatives to running windows you have no self respect.

I'll read it when I get home in a few hours unless you have another source(s) you'd prefer.

It's very easy to say this, because it means you can just reject any evidence to the contrary as "not good" or "biased".

Accusations of genocide aren't a fucking game. It's either happening or it isn't. Either the evidence is good or the evidence is bad (and all evidence is biased) So give us some good evidence.

It? I sure hope you aren't talking about a human person.

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ~~ideas~~ evidence 😔
