Sorry, I’ve already donated all the Plasma I can safely donate! /s jic :)

No reason to avoid it. Just know that you can’t easily shink the filesystem, only grow it. To shrink you’d need to create a new FS then copy the data over manually.

Hmm. Maybe systemctl enable rc-local because I was too lazy to get the service order correct and I just wanted something to happen last and be done with it.

Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.

Prevents the writes from piling up in the cache. dd will report the transfer is done when the writes have been cached so this setting prevents dd from exiting until the data has been written completely to the block device.

Neat! I’ll have to try that out.

dd, or cat with a shell redirect are all you need to write that iso.

My trouble with dd is all the flags I need to remember to make it fast and more convenient. dd if=file of=/dev/device oflag=direct status=progress bs=1M is there anything I’m missing?

Oh yeah it’s totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I’ll “send to Kodi” from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn’t a vc1 encode apparently).

Yeah I can’t speak to that as I don’t have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that’s a proprietary Microsoft codec so that’s probably why I didn’t encode anything with it.

Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec… Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.

Long story short - dollar general is charging more at the register than the price marked on the shelf and then just paying the fine when they get busted for deception but not fixing the problem to the tune of millions of dollars illicit profit.

Can I use this to make my 48 hour weekend feel like a 480 hour weekend? I really don’t want to be back at work.

Oh yeah. Back in the late 90s I played all the games ported by Loki Games. I played the native quakes, portal 1 & 2. And using regular Wine and some winetricks I played about 300 hours of Skyrim and completed Mass Effect 1,2,3.

You probably remember the libc5 to glibc swap. Bad times to DIY distros.

Hmm I have come up with a bunch of neat solutions over the years. Where to start?

One time I broke the sudoers file on a distro without a root account, thoroughly locking myself out. I used docker -v /:/chroot to get myself root access to my root filesystem where I fixed the sudoers file. Protip always use visudo

Minification is a curse. Now hear me out… I’ve wasted so much engineering time trying to figure out why various build scripts fail in docker only to find there’s a tool = $(which tool) 2>/dev/null in there eating the real error. Which is missing because someone wanted to save a 100k by not installing it the docker image base image.

That’s not too bad. I’m going to need everyone in this thread to watch this. We wouldn’t anybody to embarrass themself dontcha know?

Now if you need me I’ll be out back whipping shitties!

My point was more that it was a very rough release even for a .0 and the distros should have waited a bit longer before shipping it as a default. All said I <3 KDE and have been using it since 0.9.6 I think
