My work was evacuated once for a fire alarm (false) and we all kinda stood around waiting for the firemen to come and let us back in. While we waited we chatted. But I realised that I couldn’t understand what the people four feet away from me were saying. I could hear the noises coming from their mouths, but I couldn’t understand them. When the alarm was switched off, I could understand them.
Brain is weird.
I had an Acer laptop once. I had Ubuntu on it. I had problems with random crashing after a few minutes, I ran memtest, it took a few hours for a full test and came back with a whole slew of faults. I sent it to Acer under warranty and they told me that Linux was the problem and I should leave windows on it.
Maybe just teleporters that don’t work with living tissue.

If you can put together Lego with the instructions or IKEA furniture, you’ll be fine. It took me three tries, and I learnt stuff from each mistake, so the worst that can happen is you learn.
It’s a heavy crown to wear.
Work. I’m a chef and my nightmares are mostly along the lines of arriving at a strange kitchen, finding out nothing has been prepped, and I have half an hour to make 20 pans of lasagne but there’s no tomatoes, only 2kg of pork, and the ovens are stuck at 300°C.
Ironically my best dreams are about a zombie apocalypse . And I’m the guy with the chainsaw and shotgun.
There goes my plan of maxing out credit cards on stuff to bequeath.
I live in Finland and so the seasonal daylight varies from almost none in winter to always in summer. I got a smart socket connected to my grow lamps for all my plants. I used to have an analogue timer that I would have to keep changing the times on as the season progressed. The smart one now turns on when my alarm goes off in the morning and turns off an hour after sunrise, turns on again an hour before sunset and turns off at bedtime.
No messing about anymore, it’s one less thing to worry about.
Usually, I’d agree with you, but I use mine about half the time as a copy machine. To have to scan on one device and print on another would be annoying, I have enough trouble making the thing work already, I don’t want that trouble doubled.
I recommend next time to use btrfs. With / and /home (at least) as separate subvolumes. Each subvolume will use the space it needs, and no more. If you have a 500Gb SSD with 300Gb in /home, and 20 in / they both have 180Gb they can use.
And when you manage to fill the 500Gb, it’s easy to just add another drive to the volume.
I had a 6 month old Acer laptop that started misbehaving so I ran Memtest, it took hours, but found faults in the memory. So I took it back to the shop, they sent it on to Acer who sent it back saying Linux was the problem and I should only use windows. But they replaced the main board, “just in case”
Now I’m hungry.
I’ll give you a hint, there’s oil at the north pole.
The system is working as intended.
That’s why I live in the EU, and they have to include the lowest price in the last 30 days with the “discount” price.
Man was in a terrible flood and climbed up to the roof to avoid the water that kept rising. He was very religious and so when a boat came by and offered hep he said, " God will save me" and refused to go. The water rose higher and a jetski came by and offered to help, but again the man said, “God will save me”. The water rose even higher and a helicopter came by and lowered a ladder, and again he refused and said “God will save me”. The waters kept rising, swept the man into the flood and he drowned.
In heaven, the man speaks to God and says" why didn’t you save me?"
God replies, “I sent a boat, a jetski and a helicopter! What more did you want?”
Fix the holy cigarette lighter.
Motion on my RPI. I didn’t want it to save videos or photos, so I turned it off in the config. But it still saved them. So I tried a few other places in the config to turn it off, but nothing worked and I’d run out of space within a day. So I changed the save directory to /dev/null.
Then I tried to upgrade the pi, and the new version of motion has a different config, incompatible with the old one. So I’m running the old one.
