Nice. Glad you’re on to something.

I can’t help you with docker files as I don’t use it, but, there’s usually a way to find out who / what owns a file, so I hope docker utils can tell you if it’s safe to delete

No, even lighterweight - no containers.

My NAS is mostly plain Arch packages, so just upgrade and all is well. No additional container software layer to maintain either.

Btrfs management tools update with the OS, all is good.

+1 on all of this.

Logseq basically saved my mind when I took on a new job where I needed to take a lot of notes quickly, easily and keep track of all the ToDos.

Syncthing keeps my laptop and phone in sync (with my NAS) so I can start notes on my laptop and then finish on my phone.

You can definitely reorder checkboxes, but on Android it’s still not quite a smooth experience, but it’s ok.

du -hs * won’t find “hidden” (.) files and folders, you’ll need a slightly sifferent regx (which I will leave as an exercise for you / I don’t have that info here)

And also both du and df show different results depending on the underlying filesystem, ie btrfs (and maybe ZFS?) won’t show how much deduplication is happening.

Also, you might be looking at sparse files too, and from memory, you’ll need another option for du or df to report those correctly.

A confession in here is worth total forgiveness.

I’ll phone your boss and clear it for you…

(Most of mine then eventually ended up on ebay)

Well, this week was really manic, like wtf is going on manic… but it’s my own fault… I told them I’m off on holiday next week so they brought me everything to do now.

Worked till at least 7pm most nights, 10pm on Wednesday… and this is from starting around 7:30 / 8 each morning.

But… sunshine here I come… 🏖️

Ah, I thought that was just magical internet issues

Thanks for the insight, but more importantly - thanks for looking after this instance

Ah, you need The Reg online standards converter

So, a 1kg brick = 0.1149 Adult Badger

When the price topped £9 at the height of the cost of living crisis, it became the centre of a media frenzy, with outraged shoppers sharing their disbelief and supermarkets putting security tags on tubs.

What media frenzy? (Ahh, the bliss of ignorance)

81%

(you can sleep easy now)

I think that’s the point (.txt)

True, but that would be a phone app which has to come from an official (US) app store on a phone that is using offical (US) firmware…

I’m all for having a financial system that we can use 100% disconnected from the US, but it’s the details that makes this hard, not the initial concept of e-Money.

But, back to the original point, I don’t know how interest would work on money in an eWallet. I’d want to keep all my funds earning for me, which means loaning to others and then getting something back… so I don’t want those transactions sitting in a 0% “safe” place… I’m either saving or spending.

So, if we can just have a EU version of Visa / Mastercard as step 1 that would be best. I think that’s just arriving…

But isn’t the bank lending out your money and charging interest… which they pay back (some) to you?

If that doesn’t happen and the digital euro just sits under your bed, then how do savings work vs inflation?

Yeah, I passed one of these “milestone” dates a while back and as a rub-it-in gesture they sent me a letter saying:

Dear Sir, As you’re old now, please come in and have a checkup before you keel over and cause us to have to come get you.

Ta,

The Local Executive

Yeah, I have MythTV setup in a passively cooled box in the corner of the lounge… works fine…

But, I’m considering oprions for the rest of the family, both local (other rooms) and remote, so rather than reinvent wheels…

Good analogy… that’s really answered the question I wanted to ask

Kinda hijacking this a little: what do the cool kids use on a “normal” TV as a client to watch Jellyfin?

Chromecast? A PI plugged into the HDMI port?

This hasn’t been on my radar, but with Winter coming (John Snow) I’m thinking this might be something to look into…

This was doing the rounds a while back:

EXPOSING The Billion Dollar SECRET VPN Companies Are Hiding

It’s an interesting view / listen.

That’s just saying that things are tripping each other up whilst trying to shutdown.

Try sudo journalctl -b-1 --reverse

That will show the last system log in reverse order, and might help see what’s going on.

There’s an old bug report (notice I say report, as it’s locked and not solved - & I don’t have the link to hand) with several people saying that systemd causes this, but, it might be applications or services that have user accounts open, etc, etc…

but… try shutting down services and unmounting any shares / filesystems that might be causing this to see if you can isolate something.

As mentioned in the other thread, try shutting down from the command line on a new TTY (text-only screen) and see if that shows anything else.

(They meant, instead of doing your normal shutdown, open a command window and type that command instead.)
