Yep, the film has you empathize with both sides of their story. I though the actor playing the town simpleton did such a spectacular job too, just the right amount of quirk and lack of focus in his eyes.

pwd even when the bash prompt tells me where I am

Banshees of Inishirin.

Story of a friendship going sour and one guy having trouble moving on. Some great acting. A dark comedy. Quite refreshing from the Hollywood schlock that is typically in our local thestre

Thanks, that’s a great write up

I guess in my case the batteries may have had enough to signal they were functional, but they were effectively dead and had no UPS backup sustaining power. One battery had started to buldge its container. I can see it as being an as designed feature, that way they never let you down in a powerfailure event, as you get advanced notice that the battery is no longer working LOL. Had a corporation go down a few years ago, they had not replaced UPS batteries, when power wentout all UPS batteries were dead and couldn’t sustain the servers until backup generator came online.

My CyberPower is 14 years old now still working fine, just needed battery swap at 10 year mark.

Haven’t had this happen. Battery pack failed after 10 years. Unit still provided mains AC through battery backup plugs. There is a switcher inside to flip between mains and battery…maybe that was going bad in what you describe.

Why not sata or nvme drives?

For a lot of applications the correct time may not matter but for something like homeassstant or syncthing you want your container time to be correct on a restart

GNOME for sure. My wife really struggled with Windows 7/10 interface because options and settings are all over the place, and filemanager was inconsistent. Set her up with NixOS and GNOME. She no longer gets in a tizzy over the OS

You can set up one device to do masquerading and forwarding then you can see entire lan

I may be on older gnome, but with 4K laptop screen and 1920 monitor the scalng can’t be done properly per display, so 4k screen is fine, monitor looks like cartoon

As an anecdote (and not statistics) I have distro upgraded OpenSUSE with 5000 packages to install (thanks TeXlive LaTeX). It was fine.

GNOME caches and prefetches everything it may need. Where as KDE will fetch as needed. If you run a memory tool that shows actual memory being used vs Cache, you will see most is cache.

I have a 14 year old laptop with celeron processor, KDE and XFCE were performing badly, GNOME runs great. My assumption is with all the prefetch the old/slow system CPU/board has what it needs to perform as expected.

I know what you mean. KDE has always felt a little quirky in a way you can’t easily discribe to people. I keep going back to GNOME because it feels like an appliance. The non fractional scaling is a pain, that maybe they will fix at some point.

The odd thing about any pi kits in north america is their website list price is not our distributer purchase price. I looked up the Banana pi kit openwrt and it would be €114 .

Everyone always says thing like you can get a raspberrypi for €25 , but trying to get one here means used ones were €120 and new was €170

Why are your prices so high there? Double what we are at here

Seems cheaper where we are $89 CAD so €68. 1 gig RAM is plenty for a router. I’m running OpenMediaVault Samba shares and MiniDLNA on 256MB RAM and it doesn’t max out. More RAM would be wasted on a router.

I use the Super key on Gnome DE all day long. Moving windows around the Desktop, moving to other desktops, going to the overview, etc. Its all configurable shortcuts in keyboard and tweaks.

Something like https://porteus-kiosk.org/

Fully Locked down browser, cache cleared on restart, user can’t change settings etc
