no, but imo this is just a better way to do it

sudden and premeditated are not antonyms, the can be perspectives on the same action from different participants

partitions are used for organizing, the downside is that more partitions make each one smaller

I end up running 1 btrfs partition sagred between all my installed Linux distros on one system

lvm is also awesome for resizing and moving partitions

my desktop right now has nvme0n1p1 as my efi partition and p2 as a lvm pv

inside that lvm I put everything else as it’s very easy to resize and move them (I also have p2 encrypted with luks2)

I’ve have a monitor that locks to 33-92hz when free sync is enabled (144hz otherwise) it’s way more useful at lower fps values that higher ones

/run contains all sorts of virtual stuff, it doesn’t persist over a reboot,

I would advise against deleting anything in it as those files are used by programs running as whether user has the ID of 1000 (most likely you)

it contains things such as sockets and lock files so that programs can interact with each other

ah I misunderstood, thought you talking about underload, not idle power use

all the laptops I’ve ever had have been able to reliability pull the full power (like within 30 watts) of their power adapter rating so that’s a good estimate

that’s just a funny form factor for display port

you can use a % in the search bar to search your currently open tabs

do you have DNS over https turned on in Firefox? iirc nordvpn blocks it to prevent DNS leaks

lsof is a good tool would recommend it whenever something weird is happen, tho you gotta be root for it

another roart of the thread suggested using the Celeron box as an OPNsense router

OPNsense is a gateway/firewall/DHCP/router my network looks like this

optical to Ethernet conversion (the isp’s things) -> opnsense box -> network switch -> all other device (including wifi APs)

all traffic gets routed thru the opnsense box as it is the gateway to my network, runs the ipv4 nat and DHCP server

router in their comment refers to the the one that actually touches the Internet

so it would be like you say I want Firefox to go thru the tunnel, you would want the DNS requests made from it to go thru as well, in this case they weren’t tunneled and were just going to the normal dns server

I’m a tab stop = 8 kinda guy 2 is just tiny looks like an accidental leading space

(this is also why using spaces for indentation is bad)

not sure your exact case, but I would highly recommend using pipewire, Bluetooth audio devices were nothing but pain for me with pulse audio and they just worked on pipewire

I’ve used Sony xm4s

what do you mean? they’re fine unless you want to read or write to them… wait a minute

you could setup a matrix chat room and just block federation as viewing the channels requires login

also has e2ee

one of those pi kvms or the like could turn on any system even if it doesn’t support wake on lan

man it crazy I switched to Wayland on my laptop and docking to 3 monitors just worked on Wayland and it would remember all my monitors settings

I hand like 2 or 3 scripts setup to try and manage that on x11
