Thanks,
bcachefs could be the answer but I don't really want my data on a fs I need this week's kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.
I'm not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff...but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don't fail at the same time.
doh
will just keep on keepin' on then
Nice pic, been a few years since I've seen any but always a joy to find ☺️
Just say no
picked a random peertube, does this work?

no pooping, i promise
I don't think popping them was an issue, it was a few hours before the rain hit, they were ready to pop and my son was eager to help them.
I think the idea is that raindrops hit the mushroom which expels the spores, suspect my son's finger does the job better than the fungi was expecting....but perhaps it would be better to leave them alone.
Have a few video clips of pooping, but not sure how to post/share them
I'm not aware of any utility, but am a novice.
I have seen hundreds of puffball mushrooms recently, my son is big fan of popping them, but these are a little different. It looks like an average puffball on a futon that turns into a star.
Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere.
Thanks.
Yeah. It was on the west bank of Loch Lomond, on the forest path with loads of birch all around.
Nice shot.
No idea about this stuff, hopefully someone knows. Will take a guess on some sort of slime mould.
I am a moron and in no position to give advice but.
Afaik.
Ok to touch.
Traditionally, feed it to your reindeer and drink the reindeer piss. Then you can drink your own piss 6/7 times.
I've opted for the tea/tincture route and pass on the drinking piss.
Been wanting to get my hands on one of these for a long time.
Found three big ones, which was nice 🙂
Why?
Triple booting is a pita, moreso if you don't know how to partition a disk. I'd want any laptop encrypted, which adds further complexity to the triple boot.
If you wanna browse, research, watch videos and tinker just install a distro. If you wanna spend time switching your system off and on again over and over and over again to find out what's working/broken go for the triple boot.
Docker could be worth a shot. You can 'docker pull fedora/arch/debina/whatever' and can play around with the base systems. Alpine takes up about 6mib so isn't too resource intensive if you need to nuke it a few hundred times to get up and running.
Dog for scale
Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.
Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?
I've played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.
Found in UK, not stumbled upon this before.
My daughter is starting a college computing course next month and has been told they will be using linux.
She has a fairly recent, last 5yrs or less I think, intel macbook but knows nothing about linux or vm's.
I advised her to install Ubuntu in a VM when she asked about it, she asked how to do this. Initial thought is Virtualbox but I've not used MacOS since well before it became MacOS nor used VirtualBox in many years, have heard of new shiny new things like UTM, Parallels & VMWare.
Is it a reasonable suggestion to just use VirtualBox? Is there a better option?
Bit of a dad moment; "Just install Linux and then I can help you", "But how do I install Linux dad?"

From Ted, the ext4 maintainer, on the LKML a few days ago.
The thread is about mainlining bcachefs but the post from Ted, who from what little I know seems about as trustworthy as ext4 has been over the past few decades, gives an interesting overview of the business approaches to software of IBM, Red Hat, Google & Sun Microsystems.
Of general interest to myself but mainly posting as it seems relevant to the recent changes in RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma & Fedora over the past few weeks/years and gives some context of how we got where we are from ~2010.
Thanks, I do have backups of important stuff.
I think bcachefs is what I'm looking for, but I'm gonna wait a bit until development calms down a little and keep on the way I am at the moment.
