Considering my boot drive just died, backups. Also wanna get a fractal node 804 and cram tons of HDDs in it. Probably a new build with ecc as well. Perhaps transitioning current server to backup server. Also my directory structure for media is a jumbled mess of incomprehensible nonsense. I should fix that. Also I lost all my torrents that I was uploading but still have the media but can’t keep seeding after the drive failure.

Yes, although if you take it from your own streaming or something there may be watermarks to identify you. If you just repost from clearweb torrents you’ll be fine.

Yes.

Yeah, that’s a kde thing, so I doubt it would be very different than neon.

I’m quite happy with Fedora. It has kde support, many apps (especially with rpmfusion), and is quite stable because it is still a 6 month ish major release schedule. Wobbly windows, kde connect, and krunnuer will definitely work. Good customization is subjective, and honestly I consider c/unixporn to be weird but cool wizardry, but I’m happy with it. One thing to consider is if you have a newer amd CPU with an iGPU being used it will get slow and crash every now and then (few months). It’s a bug in the linux kernel starting around 6.10.

Or I2p

I misread that and thought Wayland went in a very different direction for a second.

I’ve got like half a gig down and 20 ish mbps up. I also limit it to less because family and stuff.

Nice. I just got above 2 for my ratio. I don’t have symmetric internet, but I have my torrents set up to never stop, and I don’t delete.

I don’t like that all of the questions are mandatory. For some of them, I just haven’t done enough with whatever it is to have an opinion and would not be able to provide good data.

Yep.

C programming language also uses STD in a lot of the standard library names (short for standard). I wonder if the creators of both didn’t realize when they named it or did and thought it was funny. My bet is the latter.

Debian and Fedora. I use Debian on servers and Fedora on my desktop and laptop.

That is an interesting use case. If I have interpreted your post correctly, you want to boot from a flash drive into a generic default OS or a persistent and encrypted / password protected OS. Doing that on one operating system is quite difficult as far as I know. However, you could dual boot two Fedora installs on one drive (I chose it because it’s what I use and I remember that you can set up encryption in the install. You could use whatever.). Basically, flash the installer to the drive you want to use, and to a second drive. Boot into the second drive and flash fedora onto the free space in the first drive, and enable encryption when prompted. The installer is a live boot (at least on the KDE spin) and will functions as the amnesic one. The other will be password protected and remember changes.

After cycling the battery properly the health is showing 91% and has been working well all day. It’s almost like fixing the problem was a good idea.

It is under warranty, but there’s a slightly higher capacity one I might get instead. Thanks for the explanation for how it could have actually failed.

The battery that has been consistently working fine for several months went from 95 to 40 percent battery health in a day? I’d rather like to meet your dealer; they’ve got some good stuff.

65w. enough to run a 7600 and an igpu. i set it to performance but returned it to balanced after. what reset process?

no, drains insanely fast. I think it’s limiting itself to 43% charge.

also have an arc and I found it better than even amd considering it had easy opencl support.
