    And what about the arrow?

    It’s pointing down diagonally, which - at least to me (and for pretty much any GUI I can think of) - indicates, that it should be affecting both axes.

    Then again, that whole illustration isn’t all that great to begin with. So who knows, what that arrow is supposed to signify…


  • Made me think of Stewie as Darth Vader choking a black dude and the black dude’s like: “But you’re choking my…” (Implying that it’s not the neck, that’s choked). And Stewie says: “I know. But I’ll continue the choking. Because I’m angry with you.”

    But I couldn’t find the clip, so I guess it’ll just be a trip down memory lane for some old farts like me. For everyone else too young to remember, I’ve brought this picture:









  • I’d done this some time ago via console.

    My RE partition had sat before my main partition - and since you can’t shrink partitions at their start (left) with fdisk and I didn’t want to boot up a Linux pen drive, I just shrank the main partition at its end (right) and moved my RE partition to the now freed space at the end.

    I’ve made the old RE partition available, but since it’s just a few hundred MB, I doubt I’ll ever actually use it. :-P

    PS: If you do it via fdisk, just make sure you first enable the new RE before disabling the old RE. Otherwise there’s nothing that can be copied to the new RE - I’ve made that mistake and had to get the missing files from a Windows ISO.











  • For me it’s “The Mighty Boosh”: https://youtu.be/FiU-oCWPhx0

    I fell in love with my now ex-wife (then girlfriend) in no small part because she had great humor and I liked a lot of the shows she liked.

    So when one day in 2010 she raved about “The Mighty Boosh”, of which she owned all DVDs including the live stuff, I had to check it out.

    I started watching S01E01 and felt like watching someone’s fever dream trying to recreate a kid’s show. Same for the second, third etc episode.

    Usually I’d have long given up on that show. But there had to be something to it, if she loved the show so much.

    So I started watching season 2 (“Milky Joe” or “The Priest and The Beast”, I can’t really remember) and it clicked immediately. From there I binged all other episodes + season 3 + season 1 again - and I loved it all and couldn’t understand how I didn’t like it initially.

    And thanks to that I discovered other gems from the same “circle” like “Snuff Box”, “Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place”, “Luxury Comedy” and “The IT Crowd” (some episodes haven’t aged well, but others are just filled with gold).
