Same. I forgot all about it before this post.

It was almost 20 years ago when I built a cluster using around 40 desktop computers for purely academic purposes in our lab. Since then I never heard of it again even though I was working with HPC for a few years.

Ich wäre froh über ein solches Angebot von meinem Arbeitgeber, aber bei uns ist die Gewerkschaft ziemlich zahnlos und ohne Rückgrat.

Ich unterstütze das aber vollkommen. Holt euch, was euch zusteht!

I'll bite. What is the deal with Bluey? I watched the first episode to see what all the fuzz is about and it looks like a fine show for smaller children, but what else is it? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, but I was expecting something different for all the hype.

Ah, gotcha! Thank you for the explanation.

Aren't all commercial plane turbine engines high bypass turbofans? (excluding turboprop)

Serious question, because I assumed that's how they all worked, but this sounds like it is special or in spite of and it got me wondering.

Hu, that was weird. Kinda cool animation though. Maybe it's a new channel to binge. Thanks!

The problem is always having the bad option being enabled by default. Not even the ads are the biggest problem. I didn't even mention their current ads in the terminal. The problem is the same Microsoft is having now, that your keyboard input gets sent to an untrustworthy third party.

Your comment got cut off. If you wanted to dispute the paid paid claim. It is about Ubuntu Pro, that's literally all what the basic tier is. We recently even had the case where a patch with a highish CVE rating was only available to subscribers of the service. We also verified that the same patch was already available on Debian. Even without my anecdote it should be obvious why it is bad.

Emphasis on it was. It started to go downhill with Amazon integration and now we have paid security updates. They are holding back developed and available security packages for their OS!

There is no way to still recommend Ubuntu. No need to even talk about the other questionable decisions like snap.

The globe would be so nice to have!

Knowing for sure if and when you passed the moment would be depressing though.

It looks like a young netherland dwarf rabbit. Short ears and a big head are characteristic for them.

It is a race between mayo and mustard. Having to pick one I'd prefer mustard.

Not the person above, but if it is an issue you ever run into you are doing it "wrong". Not really, but let me explain.

Having it on a separate partition has a few advantages like different mount flags (e.g. noexec), easier backup management (especially snapshots) and some other benefits like using your home for a new installation (like OP wants to) or it prevents some critical failures in case you accidentally fill it up (e.g. partial writes or services cannot start).

I often cannot decide on specific mount sizes either, because requirements may change depending on what you do. Hence I would just stick with some reasonable defaults for the installation and use some form of volume manager instead. If you want to use ext4, xfs etc I would recommend using LVM as it gives you a lot of freedom (resizing of volumes, snapshots and adding additional drives, mixed RAID modes etc) or there are btrfs, zfs or bcachefs to name the most common file systems which implement their own idea of storage pools and volumes.

Never should you need to resize a partition, there are more modern approaches. Create a single partition (+ a small EFI partition somewhere) and never bother with partitions ever again. The (performance) overhead is negligible and it gives so many additional benefits I didn't even mention. Your complaint is a solved problem.

 

Hello everyone!

Today I bought a mouse and keyboard for the couch to play some games which are not made for controllers. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to access the Steam menu once I am in-game. The desktop overlay combination does not seem to work (shift + tab) and I don't know what else to try as I don't have anything resembling the PlayStation or Xbox buttons like on my controllers.

Desktop mode itself is unfortunately unusable as Steam ignores the scaling configuration and text is unreadable small on the TV. I just bring this up, because I suspect the overlay combination would work here.

Does anyone know what keys to press in normal big picture esque mode to open any of the Steam menus while in-game?

Thank you!
