Interesting, I'll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it's just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn't unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the "ca-certificates" package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it's not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn't match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won't claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it's on the "immutable" thing that's popular right now. I've tried a few immutable distros, and they're not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it's been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I'm kinda in btrfs' corner right now lol

LMAO I was unaware of this! That's hilarious!

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Just an update: following the very helpful suggestions in this thread has gotten my drive usage down to 16%! Super happy about that, y'all rock!

You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!

[–] swab148@startrek.website 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's pretty much how I solve all my problems lol

That's the second recommendation for qdirstat, so it's definitely on the tomorrow list!

 

I'll give the whole story if anyone wants it

 

Absolutely brilliant 👌

I'll be using it mostly for gaming, possibly self-hosting various things as I think about them. I'd like it to be mildly future-proof, but I'd also like to cut the price down a bit. Right now it's going to cost basically my whole tax refund, and if possible, I'd like to save some of it to further my education.

I'll be using Linux (don't know what distro yet, but that's another post for another /c/), hence the all-AMD build.

Thanks in advance!

 

If anyone could tell me how to change the system font color, I'd be much obliged. tips cowboy hat

 

For backstory: My partner and I have been playing Super Mario Party so long that it's gotten boring. They asked me what I wanted for my birthday (which is coming up), and I thought something like that would be cool. If X-COM 2 had a local co-op on the Switch, I'd do that, but is there something similar?

 

I can see saved posts all day, but saved comments, well that's an issue. It was easy on the previous iteration, just wondering why I can't find it now.

 

On Boost for Reddit, this was the feature I liked the most. Is it just not implemented yet?

 

I was gonna shout out everyone in this community, but I figured out that you were all sus, so this is the meme.

 

This is my first time posting from Boost, let's see how it goes...

 

My current "default home" when you open the app or click the home button is set to "Subscribed Top Six Hour". I would like to change that to "All Top Six Hour", but I can't seem to find where to do this. Android app, btw.

 

In other news, I now have the ability to screenshot, and access to a warp tool. My shitposting powers grow by the minute.

And got the hots for some soup!

I am convinced that this episode gave rise to the goo fetish we all know (and love).
