I guess you can file something with an appropriate court. Something the embassy would do probably. Get it suspended pending more investigation, or a higher court ruling against the lawfulness of whatever you’re complaining about

Do it.

This is way more accurate

I don’t expect the current government to ever fix the second part, though.

I think he was talking about the con_ in consequence

With xfce, since op doesn’t want plasma or gnome

In addition to all the good suggestions already here, consider installing early-oom and configure it to kill the stuff you care less, maybe one of those heavy electron-based clients.

It’s been some time… Before Xorg there was Xfree86, and before that the various implementations by the other Unix vendors. Does that make sense?

This is one of the most useful things in Xorg, and prior to that in X11. If you (generic you, not anyone in particular here) don’t know about it it’s because you come from too long time on “my users are stupid” operating systems. It’s one of those things that once you have it in muscle memory you use it without even thinking about it.

Have I mis-pasted things? Yes. Have l pasted my password in an IRC channel? Yes. Would I stop using it because once every few months I make a mistake? Not at all.

Make it configurable, if you must, but leave us old timers work the way we have done for 30 years or more. There are already some software/ toolkits that disable it, so it is likely doable on a per-app basis.

Gratuitous “old man yells at clouds” rant: people should be forced to use a VT52 for one year before being granted GUI privileges, especially if you work with network hardware.

I’ll crawl back in my cave now.

Like a giant pressure cooker

Small form factor, or something like that . Little motherboard possibly fanless, space for one or maybe 2 2.5 hd. The little thing you can use for a nice video player at home or the cash register at work

Great advice in the comments already, I’ll just recommend that you familiarise yourself with the rescue boot of a live disc of your distro.

If things go weird with thr move you can boot the live in rescue mode, mount your disks and fix fstab, or even redo the initrd . Don’t wait until you need it

You know a language when you can understand if the waiter at the restaurant is insulting you

You really know a language when you can get back at him

The first thing I thought about was “there’s suddenly going to be lot of 2N2222 available”

This. And it is not really predictable where they go, depends on which parts get damaged and how

As it should be

Would be fun to put that in a luggage and ask someone to help lifting it to the car

404 brain not found. Sorry:)

Linux kernel has had support for 64 bit time for years. On Debian, packages for the upcoming release were updated to 64 bit time earlier this year. I’m fairly sure the other distributions have done or are doing the same. So basically you now have 2 years to upgrade your OS and to pester the vendors of commercial software to do the same.

Like someone else said, it will be 2 very busy years, but we can survive this.
