Now try IPv6 only :P

or the pump has failed

Would like to see how much the background work is impacted over time. Seems like a scheduling issue to me

It works fine with Firefox funnily enough

oflag=sync also works instead of && sync. Might as well drop a status=progress in there too

With the terminal, use the option --help or view it's man pages with man (command you want to know more about) to avoid having to search the Internet just to find out how commands work. You may find the terminology of certain things strange or may not understand how certain things are described at first, but you'll have a much better understanding of how everything works when you know how to look up what exacly something does. Oh and in man use u and d to scroll up and down and /(searchword) to search, that makes looking up stuff a lot faster, press q or Ctrl-D to quit

I recently set up a laptop for a friend and he was so pissed off that the user folder was just named after the first five letters of the Microsoft Account that I had to redo it with a local account

Wow, that's bad UX, every other OS lets you change it for individual devices or types of devices

My experiences with a 4700U/5500U and 5600G has also been great on just Fedora

Can't be that important if people don't actually choose with their wallets (Xperia 5 II owner btw)

The driverless "driver" for our Canon also seems to work well, the configuration that is lacking from it can just be done over the web interface

I had a 10Gbps USB Icy Box enclosure, speeds were ok but cooling was simply inadequate. Now I have just built a pc with an Asus B550-Plus and a 5600G, idles at 19W with the drives in standby but with three fans active. I thought about going with a mini pc and a better external enclosure, but that would've been much more expensive and I doubt that I would've saved that much power with that anyway

laptops are sold at the same price with similar components, so no

Any reason why Filelight hasn't replaced k4dirstat?

If you don't have to use it but want to keep it functional, why just not reinstall MX again? You know that and how it works

Did the same thing, though I'm handling the tabs with Sway

Consumer external hard drive enclosures may offer a JBOD mode, I had one from Icy Box for a few days, the transfer rates were good but the little fan didn't cool the hard drives well enough while accessing them. Ended up buying a Define R5 instead

300€ HP 255 G8 works very well, the physical buttons below the pad feel like they'll fall apart with every press as they are only hinged somewhere in the middle

Clicking delete while pressing shift should do the same thing in most file managers, just use it with caution

I hate that this is the default answer to these questions, most tools by which less tech savy have detrmined that something is using a lot of ram are accounting for buffers and don't subtract it from the free space. Every time when I clicked on someones post (well on Reddit, here its the first one) regarding their ram usage being high and this website was posted, it was not the buffer/cache. So while it is obviosly important to get to know how OP determined that something was using a lot of ram, directly assuming that they read it wrong is imo simply not helpful and in most cases just more confusing

I use jdupes for that

BTRFS + Seagate SMR seems to work well in my experience, especially if used like a WORM drive. No 24/7 rating, but 5TB per drive

Choose B, door on trolley opens, reveals 5 people, wave at them, leave

There is no 3800G afaik

Also on AMD APU hardware, I was a while on Kubuntu with 5.15 as 5.16 and 5.17 had pretty frequent regressions regarding s0ix, but it was fine afterwards. Until now, though 6.3.12 seems to be somewhat stable again

I'd say it's essential on a SMR drive

Using the laptops battery isn't a good long term solution though as having it plugged in all the time will wear it down fast, not to mention that the battery is build for maximum energy density and not durability/safety. It just simply not working when it is finally needed is almost a pretty light issue when it can just also inflate and pose a huge fire risk next to all of your data. Laptops are great power efficient platforms though for servers

Only requires stuff like editing the registry and probably signing a pact with Microsoft, but it was possible from what I read online

yoo that article is from 2002

Do you use Btrfs? With that you could extend the Fedora partition even though the free space is not where it should be

For that the laptop has to support a charge level on a hardware level though, just setting a limit will cause it to constantly switch between using the battery and charging the battery which would be much worse than keeping it at 100%. Most older and budget systems don't support that
