- Comment on GeoGuessr Map Makers Make Most Popular Maps Unplayable In Protest Of Saudi-Backed Esports World Cup - Aftermath 1 week ago:
I am a huge Geoguessr fan, this is a great protest, I will be taking down my maps was well.
- Comment on Age Verification Wants Your Face, and Your Privacy 3 weeks ago:
I remember a few years ago when YT suddenly restricted my account since it was never age verified since I got it back in 2005/2006 or so, and for a few months I could not watch YT videos that was tagged as mature or similar.
Luckily, it seemed that sense prevailed and once the account was 18+ years old, the restrictions just went away…
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is my impression as well.
There is a clear link on the store page to go to the warranty info, if OP didn’t read it or understood it before buying, this is on them, not Valve.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Ok, but what was the cause they diagnosed?
- Comment on Liz Truss to launch her own ‘uncensorable’ social media platform 5 weeks ago:
They could capitalize on that, and call it “Let us social!”
That would give it a friendly name and make her more approachable, which is why it won’t happen.
- Comment on Liz Truss to launch her own ‘uncensorable’ social media platform 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, they are the exception
- Comment on Liz Truss to launch her own ‘uncensorable’ social media platform 5 weeks ago:
Any politician launching their own media network is a reprehensible piece of shit.
Prove me wrong.
- Comment on Synology requires self-branded drives for some consumer NAS systems, drops full functionality and support for third-party HDDs 1 month ago:
And here I have just bought a Jonsbo N4 chasis, and started thinking about using it as as a lab machine and use a Synology as a NAS, nope, not any more, back to the N4, it will be a TreuNAS build…
- Comment on YouTube considers a daily timer for users looking to cut back on Shorts 1 month ago:
How about fixing the watch history bug so I can swipe left and delete shorts from my history just as I can for normal videos?
(Note to any other person watching YT, curate your watch history! Delete videos you don’t want recommendations from from your watch history, it absolutely works!)
How about removing the Shorts button from the YT app, or at a minimum, disable auto play when I accidentaly tap the button?
- Comment on uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store 2 months ago:
The only reason they can so this is their near monopoly on the browser market.
I remember when Chrome was launched, there was a lot of hype around it, everybody talked about how good and fast it was, I downloaded it, tested it and uninstalled it in 15 min, I didn’t like the UI, and didn’t see the speed advantage everyone was talking about.
- Comment on Spotify says it's fixing the bug that caused Premium users to hear ads 2 months ago:
Ok, so they have taken four weeks to even acknowledge this issue, to me this signal that this was more of a test to see how receptive paying users would be to hear ads.
So they will set the $premium_ad_frequency variable to 0 in a day or two while they “fix” the issue.
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 3 months ago:
I suspected as much, but in the decade I have been living here, there has never been a camera in that area…
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 3 months ago:
It warned me about something called “static camera” or similar, where there are none.
It also warned me about my speed being too high, at that time it was accurate, but later I saw the speedlimit display show the wrong information.
The speedometer is more prominantly displayed in Magic than in Google Maps, it shows on a dark black background while Google maps has their speed info so that it blends into the background, making it less distracting, also Maps shows it only when I am actively navigating, Magic shows it constantly.
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 3 months ago:
I know about them, I didn’t realize that they were the same company here, interesting.
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 3 months ago:
I’ll gladly give it a try, but I have a question…
How to this company make money?
There are no ads, and they claim to not sell my info, yet they appear to have the funds to make a nice app with a lot of interesting features, how to they accomplish this?
- Comment on Cities need to get ahead of autonomous delivery robots. 3 months ago:
I fully agree, so let’s ban them!
It keeps jobs available, and doesn’t mess with current infrastructure.
- Comment on Microsoft experiments with ‘Drag Tray’ — share menu appears when dragging a file in Windows 11 3 months ago:
Try Shift+right click next time…
That is a menu that gives you even more options than the classic menu (well, at least one more, “Run as a different user”)
- Comment on Meta tells Brazil it's only axing fact checkers in USA 4 months ago:
Ah, that is interesting, I have held off of BTRFS due to believing it was made by Facebook, so I’ll have to give it another chance.
I know it isn’t a rational reason to avoid it, but feeling are not always rational.
Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding!
- Comment on Meta tells Brazil it's only axing fact checkers in USA 4 months ago:
Well, didn’t they develop BTRFS?
- Comment on Debian /boot is full - LVM complicating resizing the partition 5 months ago:
Humm, I thought the boot partition was required to be at the start of the disk, os that not the case?
- Comment on Debian /boot is full - LVM complicating resizing the partition 5 months ago:
Call me old fashioned but I don’t want to move partitions containing data, especially not on the same disk.
With LVMs there are specific tools to do it, which I would trust more than just moving s partition around
- Comment on Debian /boot is full - LVM complicating resizing the partition 5 months ago:
I would suggest against wasting space by just leaving it completely unused.
The long term sollution is to remember to run apt-get autoremove --purge to have the system remove unused packages like old kernels in /boot
- Comment on Debian /boot is full - LVM complicating resizing the partition 5 months ago:
I have worked with LVMs for my job in the past, I am no expert but I think I can help.
Right, the issue you are seeing with your /boot is that the LVM partition is located right behind it, and the free space is located after the LVM partition.
This means that you can’t increase the size of /boot as the LVM partition is in the way.
This is if I understand it an issue stemming from when we used mechanical hard drives as standard, the parttion table still sees an SSD as a mechanical drive, where partition location is important.
So you simply can’t increase /boot without reinstalling the system.
As for your question why KDE’s partition manager sees your LVM partition as full, that is because it is almost full…
Let me explain.
LVM is an abstraction layer put on top of the disk/partition, here is the concept the LVMs use in your set up:
- Disk
- Partition
- LVM Physical Volume
- LVM Volume Group
- Logic Volume
- Filesystem
The partition manager kan only see layers 0, 1 and 2, it sees the disk, it sees the partition and it sees that the partition is an LVM PV.
The LVM PV takes up almost all the space in the partition, but it just hands that data up the LVM chain, to the LVM VG, that is where you can combine several PVs across several disks into one data set that you can use to create LVM LVs independantly.
So while the partition manager only see that there is an LVM PV in the partition, is has no idea about how that is used.
Now, there is a way to possibly move data and solve your issue, I have only done it on a test system.
You need another disk, and probably a liveUSB.
I will not give exact commands to run, but I will give enough information to make the concept clear, this is so you are required to read the official documentation before continuing.
To possibly solve this (or mess up your data completely, that is allways a risk when moving data around, make backups!) you need to do the following:
Get a new drive that can store all your data.
Make a single LVM partition
Make it an LVM PV and add it to the LVM VG that your current LVM is part of.
Move the LV from the old PV to the new PV (do not just expand the LV!)
Remove the old PV from the VG.
Delete the old LVM partition.
Increase /boot
Create a new LMV partition
Make it a new PV
Add this new PV to the old VG
Move the LV from the temporary PV on the new disk to the smaller PV on the old disk
Remove the temporary PV from the VG.
That should in theory resolve the issue.
Note however, this is a highly dangerous operation, the best thing to do would be to copy your data to new drive and reinstall the computer with the new partitions sizes set from the start.
Finally LVMs are damn cool, but they don’t offer redundancy by default, you can set up a software raid in LVM, but that is not something I have experience with

- Comment on Had to reimage my deck; impressed by how well a backup of my home folder carried over system and app settings 6 months ago:
A decade or so ago, I messed around with Linux on my laptop, it was my main computer and I was distro hopping yo see what was out there.
I had my /home on a different partition and it worked well, until I left a USB hard drive plugged in…
It was my main music drive and I accidentaly picked that one to be erased…
I lost 6000+ songs…

I work in the finance industry, and you are wrong!
These targets are made by workers putting in a combination of realistic guesses, hopes and dreams into an Excel sheet built in 2006, built by a person who left the industry in half a year later, and was last updated in 2018, adding one page of semi related calculations, taking the resulting numbers giving them to a sales guy to make a confident presentation for the CEO to deliver to the shareholders.
