Time magazine’s 2006 person of the year
I also don’t want to be running an antique OS… Just a debloated one.
This is not a Windows forum, so I feel justified in pointing out that in that case you should probably avoid Microsoft products entirely.
(momentary confusion as I wonder why I’d want to switch from the X Window System to Mastodon)
There are a few specific people on fedi who do give me hope.
Since you’re already on btrfs it’s probably better to actually use the features it has to expand your existing filesystem to cover both drives.
But if you just want to mount it somewhere and not worry about figuring out anything complicated, what I did is mount my big new cheap disk at /home/bigdisk and then have symlinks pointing to it such as ~/Videos -> /home/bigdisk/Videos
.
Mine’s more of a databivouac.

Quick, somebody give that man $350000
Proton has the better encrypted email service. It follows the standard and is interoperable with others.
Proton has the better VPN service if you care about port forwarding, which Mullvad discontinued.
But nothing beats Mullvad for looking trustworthy, and it was reliable enough when I was on it.
Personally I’d put a higher priority on stamping out that use of “porn”.
Akkoma and probably others like Misskey I assume do have follower-only posts and they do get used by some people who like to communicate with a small group and otherwise keep things private.
Okay fediverse, you’ve been told. It has been requested that everyone on the whole network stops using #hashtags because one lemmy.world user finds it personally inconvenient the way their instance’s software deals with it. I expect everyone to comply immediately.
Because otherwise, a horde of raiders in spiky leather armour will cross the radioactive wasteland, roll up to your place and rip your arms off.
Well for one thing, there is that one obvious thing which Americans and everyone else are also unready to hear: You need to give up fossil fuels. No more coal, no more gas, no more petrol, no more diesel. Some parts of Europe like to think they’re well on the way to that goal but even there for the most part you’ve barely begun and are moving too slowly or in the wrong direction (e.g. biofuels). The hard part cannot be put off for much longer.
I have no idea about how people in the UK should react and I’m not a lawyer, but my understanding of it is that if no one involved in running your site is British, it’s not hosted in the UK, and you don’t have any kind of business relationships with people in the UK, you absolutely should not worry about it or take any action at all beyond making sure you don’t sign any deals or offer any products for sale in that country.
They cannot legally or practically do anything to you beyond perhaps blocking access to your site somehow I suppose, and in the extremely unlikely event that they tried something crazy you’d be an international cause celebre with plenty of legal support available. Doing their dirty work for them by trying to block British IP addresses seems inadvisable.
It turns out that “critical” here means argumentative, entirely one-sided, and full of spurious objections.
Just surf along the information superhighway and keep an eye out for tasty links. You’ll soon get the hang of it. Here’s one place to start: https://mastodon.social/public/remote
I’m willing to entertain the possibility that the linux world may be lacking in some things, but I’m pretty sure “configuration tools for sysadmins” is not one of them.
Apparently I have fewer problems with it than some. It’s snap. Maybe I could come up with some other minor complaints, but nothing big really. It’s mostly just snap. That is what prevents me using or recommending Ubuntu any more.
I like blobcats
