Always put your filesystems in an LVM volume (and in general, partition disks with LVM rather than partition tables)! You never know when you might need to combine multiple disks, make a snapshot, add redundancy, or transfer to another disk without unmounting. But it's very difficult to format a block device as LVM once you can't erase its contents.

Make your /boot partition at least 500MiB.

Leave at least 1GiB of free space at the beginning of every disk. You never know when you might need to add EFI and boot partitions to that disk. And again, it's very difficult to do after the fact.

Probably after he gave up on his own kernel (Hurd) being a viable competitor.

Seeing Ubuntu now is like seeing your (previously) favourite musician, sold out and washed up.

Why write code when you can turn the transistors on and off yourself? I have a few thousand buttons connected to the CPU, and some homies and I open or close them on each clock cycle to feed it different instructions and inputs.

Request access to each video and wait for a letter with the title and thumbnail printed on the outside.

For July 4, yeah. But doing it at midnight on New Years is important to a lot of people.

I like setting them off at my own pace. Lighting the fuse and running away is half the fun.

What I don't get is people who only buy a few 100+ shell batteries. At that point you're better off gong to a show.

I bet they said something like "we don't use most of that information, we just need access in case we add a new feature in the future that uses it". And then it'll come out that they've always been using it, and it's been associated with your identifying info. And then their server will be hacked (because the admin password was "meta123") and the all the info will leak. The modern internet sucks.

That's not really Lemmy's purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.
