two commands: dd and resize2fs, assuming you're using ext4 and not something more exotic.

one makes a block-level copy of one device to another like so: dd if=/dev/source-drive of=/dev/destination-drive

the other is used to resize the filesystem from whatever size it was, to whatever size you tell it (or the whole disk; I'd have to go read a manpage since it's been a bit)

the dd is completely safe, but the resize2fs command can break things, but you'd still have the data on the original drive, so you could always start over if it does - i'd unplug the source drive before you start doing any expansion stuff.

I didn't think the consumer-level chip immolation carried over to their xeons?

If it did, holy crap, they're mega-ultra-turbo-plaid levels of screwed.

Yeah quicksync won't help you there.

I thought nVidia's limit was enforced by their drivers, but that's probably changed since it's been a while since I looked at nvenc as a solution (quicksync, then an ARC card over here).

dd then resize the fs?

Edit: one caveat here I forgot: if your fstab is using UUIDs, you're going to have to update that, since the new drive won't be the same UUID because, well, it's not the same drive.

Is it bad I recognized it as daoc from the NPC font?

If you have an Intel CPU with quicksync, it will likely perform better than the 1060 in terms of visual quality, if its coffee lake or newer (8th gen).

If not, well, it'll be fine up to whatever the stream limit is (4?).

Because most of us are arrogant, short-sighted, stupid, greedy, and have no empathy.

At this point I know I need to move to a blue as fuck state, or maybe emigrate to somewhere with better enshrined lgbt rights, universal healthcare, and legal weed, like say Mexico.

(I'm kidding but only just barely.)

You seem to have missed the global nuclear war that happened between the bell riots and shiny space communism.

Wouldn't mind avoiding that, though it seems like thats getting more and more probable.

Things might get better, after everyone dies for stupid bullshit, but that's hardly a comfort.

I wouldn't have pegged him for someone who had dogs. Requires too much empathy and care.

sidequests that involve you slowly following an NPC

I haate those quests. 'Quick! We must urgently go do something to save everyone!' and then waddles off like an over-stuffed penguin.

Can we PLEASE at least make these stupid NPCs walk at player run speed, it's been obnoxious for like 30 years now.

Firefly.

Yeah, I'm going there.

You totally just know the demon he's talking about was a succubi, and that's totally him trying to explain to his wife why he can get off in his dreams but not with her.

Community for Free Games (forum.uncomfortable.business)
 

Made this mostly because I've found putting RSS feeds into Lemmy useful since my doom-scrolling has reduced to just Lemmy and figured I'm probably not the only person that'd find this useful.

It's pulling 6 RSS feeds that provide free games for Steam, Gog, Epic, and Humble.

Nothing shockingly world-changing, but hey, free games.

Laptop for Linux use (forum.uncomfortable.business)
 

So I'm looking for a laptop, but before you downvote and move on, I've got a twist: I'm looking for a laptop with Linux support that's going to intentionally be console-only and rely on TUIs to make a lower-distraction device.

I was looking at older Thinkpads with 4:3 screens and the good keyboard before Lenovo went all chicklet with them, but I'm kinda concluding they're both way too expensive AND way too old to be a reasonable choice at this point.

A X220 or T40-whatever would be great and be the perfect aesthetic, but they're expensive, hard to find parts for, and using enough crusty old shit that this becomes yet another delve into retro computing and not one into practical, useful computing which is the goal here.

So, anyone have any recommendations of any devices in the last decade that have a reasonable keyboard, screen, use modern enough components that you can source new drives and RAM and batteries and such, and preferably aren't coated in a coating that's going to turn to sticky goo?

Thin(ner) and light(er) would be nice, but probably not a dealbreaker if the rest of the pieces align. This will be almost entirely used at a table for writing and such.

 

Basically, the court said that algorithmically selected content doesn't qualify for Section 230 protections, which could be a massive impact to every social media platform out there that has any sort of algorithm selecting content, which, well, is all of them.

Definitely something that's going to be interesting watching play out.

 

Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn't free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enshittification blah blah blah.

I've moved off them a while ago, but figured I'd see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?

A good time to ditch them if you haven't, I suppose.
