EDIT - I SOLVED THE PROBLEM LOL

i had a timeshift snapshot that was like 500GB because i had been including /home in my backups. fixed.

So, my system has been complaining that my main OS drive is almost completely full. However, I just deleted like 250GB of games off it to fix the problem. It's a 2TB SSD.

output of df says i only have 52GB free:

Dolphin file manager agrees. However, using Filelight, and my own reckoning, I can only account for 660GB of space used up.

even doing du -sh */ from / only seems to show about 1TB of space used on the disk. Where is my other ~800GB of space?

So, me and my girlfriends share my linux desktop, and we all play videogames through steam. I have a fairly good solution for sharing the steam game files between users which as you may know is a slight pain on linux especially with games requiring proton. So, the current workaround we have to do is for each user to take ownership of the shared directory after they log in. I've been putting off finding a more elegant solution so i just set up a quick alias for everyone to do it for the time being. The command is this:

sudo chown -R user1:steam /share/steam/

The games live in /share/steam, and i created a steam group which we all belong to. However it's my impression there is no "true" shared ownership of linux directories, they seem to want to always be associated with a primary user which doesn't play nice with steam and proton. It seems to be a shortcoming with proton more than anything, i did read an article which explains how to create your own fork of proton which fixes this issue, but i want the freedom of being able to hop around proton versions rather than that limitation.

I would like to move to a more elegant solution where this permissions change happens automatically in the background, on login of a given user. I'm sure that it's possible, but i haven't been able to find a perfect solution by looking around. It seems like making a systemd module might be best? I'm probably gonna give that a go, but i wanted to see if anyone had a better idea or any feedback at all.

Thanks!

i guess the exceptional Tory coalition are serious about continuing to pursue their radical Atlanticist agenda. great long term planning going on here. i hate living in a vassal state dude

he is going mask off Adolf Hitler mode recently (since a few years) and apparently it's causing a split in the party with most preferring to remain cryptofascist lol. they don't have any real mass support yet thankfully but still, sucks that nobody has killed this guy yet and the state just lets him do this shit.

modlog link (CW for misogyny and transphobia): https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2019549

sorry to be an armchair admin but noticed this user around today. took a look at their modlog and noticed they have a previous siteban and today had posts removed for overt misogyny and transphobia (the transphobia was a necro of a year-old bookclub thread about Feinberg... bizarre).

anyway, i noticed they've only received a 2-day ban just from the CTH comm. i guess this is in line with the new policies around combating misogyny, but imo this should be a pretty clear cut case for a perma site ban. user from another instance with a previous ban, pops up today and starts posting vile misogyny and seeking out old posts to do transphobia on. why give them a third chance?

i wanna make a list of spookies to download for the next few weeks. please drop your favourite horrors or some obscure choices you like! mostly looking for like offbeat 90s-2000s stuff (earlier is cool too), wacky shlock is welcome but I'd love some actually scary picks too. really just anything you consider worth watching is good. thanks!

i hate videogames dude

help

so disgusted reading this story today. this man got a fully suspended sentence for pleading guilty (when he initially lied to the cops and said she attacked him, and only admitted it when CCTV footage was produced), and because the judge wants to save his precious army career while the victim has lost her job due to her injuries. he also bragged about beating her on snapchat and the reason he did it is because she asked him to stop calling people slurs. i hate it here
