As others have said, we remove the recovery partition when it gets in the way.

We came across a very similar but more sticky issue the other day. One of our admins rightfully converted all our VMs from BIOS to UEFI. This, however, created an EFI partition sitting to the right of the OS partition for the majority of our servers. We're now in a position where we can't increase disk size on any of those servers without going through the process of rebooting the box with gparted and manually moving the partition to the left. We're a 24 hour operation with hundreds of servers. This is bad :/

Myself and a friend actually tried this a few years ago in a very tight tunnel in Northampton. We obviously had an engine, but wanted to try to see how feasible legging was. It is super hard. Constantly balancing yourself on the board so you don't go in the drink. The actual work your legs have to do is nearly impossible if you let the narrow boat slow down, and the slippery and slimy walls add to all of that. I was covered in dirt and grime after a few minutes.

I suspect they probably used the barge poles to help too, but legging was definitely a thing. Like most of the jobs around the canal industry of the 18th and 19th century, it was incredibly tough and dirty work. I take my hat off to the the guys who did it day in and day out for very little compensation.

I am not a fan of this. I see it all the time at work and it's very obvious when someone has chatGPT write an email for them (it's always such a sterile and yet overcomplicated writing style). If it's a direct email to me, I tend to feel insulted that they couldn't be bothered to write those 4 paragraphs themselves - it would have taken them 2 mins. There is a definite human disconnect going on in society at the moment, and its worrying.

Rclone. Not because it's a complicated tool, but because I would like a history of my file transfers and a few graphs to show we what speeds, files sizes and whether the transfer succeeded. At the moment in order to confirm my home backups have succeeded, I have to run a separate size comparisons between my different datastores.

This caught me. I had to restore my instance from backup yesterday after loading the app and it not working. I use the fdroid version and it won't be updated for a while...

Remember, always backup you data, kids.

Excited for this and perfect for the Steam Deck, but I doubt I'll get it yet. The early access aspect is putting me off, and I'd rather play the full game.

The queue times in this game are bad enough as it is. To make people who've ONLY paid $50 wait longer than others, is completely unforgivable.

Absolute misguided greed.

They were saying a few years ago that they were never doing another Witcher game. Now look at them :) Not complaining tho...

More often than not, adverts are about brand awareness. You might not buy that car based off that advert right now, but when you do decide to buy a car, you'll remember that brand name and they become a consideration.

I hate adverts.

He is the nerdiest of the nerds, but I wouldn't call him a neckbeard.

I met him once. Very nice guy.

I moved over to Wayland full time a couple of weeks ago (using KDE on Arch). I have finally rid myself of any X11 hangups apart from one. Latte will NOT respect my primary screen when changing monitor arrangement (ie. turning my projector on and off) and seems to randomly pick a screen to call the primary.

Soooo, as I'm considering a change....what dock in Wayland works for you? Is there anything as good as Latte in X11?
