A twelve-ounce can (or a 355 mL can) is the same volume throughout the world. However, a Diet Dr. Pepper is lighter than a Dr. Pepper due to the weight of the high-fructose corn syrup in the non-diet version. If you make the non-diet version cane sugar instead, it will have a different weight. But now we’re discussing grams instead of milliliters.
This is literally what dd does and what I would have recommended, if this person hadn’t beaten me to it.
However, if you’re cloning to another disk or partition that will be plugged in at the same time as your existing installation, you’ll wind up with two partitions with the same identifier — a recipe for eventual disaster. In that case, I would run through setup (with your current disk unplugged) and then rsync over the new root partition.
There is a new policy for all country TLD’s that, when said country stops existing, that TLD will be phased out within 5-10 years.
I’ll second Debian. I run it on backports and it’s reasonably stable, but if you want it rock-solid, don’t do that.
You might want to keep your browser more up to date than the rest of your OS. That’s up to you as the user. Mozilla has a deb you can add to Apt manually, should you choose.
That’s almost identical to the ThinkPad I use every day. Sounds like a great daily driver.
It’s clear that MALIBAL sucks. Whoops, just got all Lemmy users and their mothers banned. My bad.
In the United States, as democracy takes its dying breaths, the Connecticut state legislature is considering a bill against move start time fraud like this. https://www.wshu.org/news/2025-02-20/ct-movie-theaters-push-back-against-start-time-bill
You know what? I’d be down for that — as long as the film has a logical breaking point. I can’t drink a 44-ounce Diet Coke spiked with whiskey I snuck in and then hold it all in for three hours. Plus, other people might want popcorn.
It shouldn’t matter. When you get hired, they’ll give you a new email address to use.
Extended Security Updates.
I agree with you on throwing out perfectly good hardware. Either you hang on it until it’s useless, or you throw it on eBay and let someone else have it.
That’s fair. My UniFi gear has added that in recent updates, though that’s an investment. If your system works for you, that great; stick with it!
But, I would try to find an alternative to Windows 10. Paying for ESU’s would be better spent getting something else. What that might be, I’m not sure.
Wait, Prime Minister Musk did something good for once?
Is there a reason you’re making your own access point instead of buying an off-the-shelf one? I know you said you don’t want to spend more, but a proper AP would let you simplify your server and remove the Windows VM entirely while still providing greater than Gigabit speeds (depending on the speed of your switch ports).
Absolutely! Give Waypipe a shot. Example: waypipe ssh desktop.local thunderbird
Apple tried it a decade ago. It was called the Fusion Drive. It performed about as well as you’d expect. macOS saw the combined storage, but the hardware and OS managed the pair as a single unit.
If there’s a good tiered storage daemon on your OS of choice, go for it!
Just curious, how does uBlock Origin Lite compare to regular uBlock Origin? I’ve heard from the Chrome crowd that it’s not as good as blocking ads due to the V3 limitations, but how’s the speed? I might consider it for lower-end hardware if it’s not too compromised.
Firefox implemented Manifest V3, but there are no plans to remove V2.
Are you old enough to remember Winmodems and NDISWrapper? There used to be some hardware that was so cheap that the Windows driver needed to do some of the basic work. They were never compatible with anything but Windows (and maybe 98 or XP at that). I’m sure there were some printers like that.
Combined with poor driver support early on, and a lack of standards (at least on the consumer end), and the need to have a separate PPD file for every make and model of printer, and printing used to be a mess. (It almost got bad again when Microsoft tried pushing their XPS format as a replacement for PostScript, PCL, PDF, and EPS, but that didn’t catch on.)
Apple buying CUPS (and hiring its lead developer) was great for the community. They got it working all but perfectly. I’ve never had a problem printing on Linux; HP, Brother, or otherwise.
FYI: the developer quit Apple and forked his project into OpenCUPS, but I haven’t tried that.
Hi possiblylinux127,
I have 200 years of experience with Microsoft Systems, and six children. Janie is just going to her first day of school today, and I’m buying her a Zune - a project I was heavily involved in and am proud of the commercial success that it was.
I have extensively worked on GPO as a developer, engineer, architect, project manager, lead coffee run guy and support officer. It is, like all our products, perfect and would never experience any issue itself, it is always user error.
I am sorry to hear you are having a GPO permissions issue. Before I tell you the solution, might I suggest you purchase the Microsoft Advanced GPO Support® or the Microsoft Expert (24/7) Support® support packages. We are currently throwing in a special on our 1hr response, 8 week resolution SLAs at the moment for only an additional $8,999 USD! Here are a few links:
Microsoft Advanced GPO Support®
Microsoft Expert (24/7) Support®
Your solution can be found below, and is guaranteed to fix the issue:
Open Start.
Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.Type the following command to repair the Windows system files and press Enter:
sfc /scannow
I would greatly appreciate it if you could click on Mark As Answered if this resolved your GPO problem. Janie really needs that Zune.

My first Linux was Gentoo. It took several tries to get code compiled and working on that Pentium 4, but I will say, the process taught me a lot about Linux in general. It was the ultimate crash course. I’d recommend Gentoo for all beginners who don’t mind digging in to the point of frustration, because it’s a great learning experience.
