Why doesn’t rm -rf /* also require —no-preserve-root? That seems just as easy to type accidentally and will just nuke your system without asking

Doesn’t actually contain any recognizable words

I take it you’ve not heard of the Scunthorpe problem?

Do you have any links?

I’ve heard about this guy before but I didn’t realise it was already worth so much at the time he lost it. I do feel sorry for him as it must suck to know you lost that much money from a simple mistake

Is this the original version?

I wouldn’t really class that as a backup, that’s like saying you have a spare tyre because you can always buy one from a garage!

Don’t hold them down for too long though or it automatically calls the emergency services!

I would if I had one, I use a lightning adapter with wired headphones

Wow I didn’t realise it had been over a year already

With the oh no song playing in the background

I misread the headline as AI chat bot for wankers but that probably still works tbh

Every fucking year we see this exact article and then all we get is drizzle!

Looks pretty good!

I’ll have to give that a try! Is there noticeable input delay? With game stream it was fine even over WiFi

I’m sure I’ve made worse purchases but tbh I’m struggling to think of any truly bad purchases I’ve made at the moment, even this I don’t consider bad as it still does pretty much everything I want. I just don’t appreciate paying to be treated like shit by a company. And the main reasons I chose the shield over cheaper devices was the lack of ads and game stream, both of which have been taken away (yes the ads can be bypassed with a bit of tweaking but I shouldn’t have to)

This is probably one of the purchases I regret the most. First they updated it and put shitty banner ads in the launcher so I had to install a custom one to get round that. Then they disabled game stream which I’ll admit I only used a few times, but it was still one of the reasons I went with the shield over another device. And now this…

I think when I replace it I’ll just get a mini PC instead

Not sure if that’s wrong or not tbh, I use snapper instead of timeshift and I wanted /home included in the snapshots anyway (I think it let me set them up as 2 separate jobs). The reason I went with subvolumes instead of separate partitions is that I didn’t have to worry about sizing. I also know I can reinstall to my root subvolume without affecting the others, depending on the installer for your distro I don’t know how easy that is vs just having separate partitions. I played around with it in a VM for a while to see what the backup and restore process is like before I actually committed to anything!

Why do you have a btrfs volume and an ext4 volume? I went btrfs and used sub volumes to split up my root and home but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to do it or not

Can’t run viruses if you can’t run anything /s

Or one that makes me download their app. Reddit have tried disabling their mobile site in the past in favour of a link to open in the app, I even tried it a few times as I already had the app installed and signed in but the link just took me to the App Store instead! Thankfully the mobile site seems barely functional at the moment.
