  • I bet that one of the quarries in which Dr Who was filmed is much more scenic than an asteroid... Towering cliffs, caves reaching back into the limestone, crashing waves... Lovely if you can make the trip, and a decent pub in the village or tea room if the pub doesn't appeal.

  • Judge is clearly mistaken.... Trump can just sign an executive order and, because the SCOTUS has said anything he does in post is legal, boom - AP are excluded.

    Having thrown tea in Boston harbour to rid yourselves of tariffs and royalty, 200 years later, it sure looks like you have a king over there!

  • That's not how loans work for little people.... It totally is how loans work for oligarchs because the money they get from the loan provider is tax free so no income tax.

  • Live in Wales so I have skin in this game...

    Observations: 20mph limit means most people drive below 30 in urban areas.

    20mph might not be universal in UK but many many places I drive through over the border in Engerland have a 20 limit.

    Most roads with a 20 limit have an average speed of... Stationary /walking pace anyway.

    The mandatory 20 limit was proposed and supported by Welsh right of centre politicos who dropped it like a hot potato on implementation - it was was weaponised legislation used as a stick with which to beat the left of centre Welsh Government Assembly ruling party.

    My commute of 16 miles each way, though mainly through urban areas, has about 500m of 20mph limit.... Commute time is unaffected. I'm all right Jack!

    Over all I like the 20mph limit and the shouty loudmouths who don't have failed to engage critical thinking.

  • That 200kg of cocaine has nearly filled the storage facility.

  • Wait, aren't the drugs meant to be flowing the other way?

  • You get ads with dogs cos the ad server knows you have dogs... I bet you regret that one time you didn't "reject all" cookies... Welcome to targeted advertising.

  • I have a small cluster running using Starwind for my vSAN. For me it's much cheaper than a hardware equivalent and is performant enough.

    Oh and I haven't had a "stop work" issue with it in 8 years.

    Somewhat remarkably it was OK performance-wise when sync/iSCSI traffic were running on 1Gb copper connections to spinning rust storage... Now I have 10Gb fibre between the hosts, coupled with nvme drives, and it's quite (comparatively) quick.

    As with all things YMMV... But vSAN is the way for my use case.

  • Forced to upload a picture is because you chose the wrong post type.

    I got caught by that when I started using Voyager.

  • Yeh - hyphen are superfluous.

    I'm old... Reckon I have been secretly doing the dd on my own head... Or too much powershell in the day job.

    Eta: the hyphens are there to stop the unwise copypastaing the code and trashing their system - that's my other excuse and I am sticking to it!

  • And definitely don't mention the

     
        
    dd -if /dev/urandom -of /dev/sda
    
      

    I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it...

  • Obvious isn't it? What is, these days, considered "left" used to be centre right...

  • We used to use virtual box on windows with an immutable hard disk to boot the environment with storage, for persistence, elsewhere (usb for example) if required. Just used standard ubuntu for the guest distro.

    Once you shut down the VM the vhd reverts to as installed. It's a bit painful distributing the system but can be done.

    You can prevent ordinary users messing with the immutable setting as well if that is a concern.

  • Wine Is Not an Emulator...

  • Is VSS even a backup?

    Nope, not even close.

    I thought it just copies old revisions of files into that shadow area

    It just copies the deltas...

    Backups can use vss to get a static image of the volume (deltas are written to the shadow area, which isn't backed up, whilst the backup is running) it's a little different for vhdx files on VMs but basically the same.

    It's magic.... And often means that I don't have to restore lost files from backup, just view the old versions and grab a copy from there.

  • Not my problem... Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.

  • I think "first lady" is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump's side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female.

    Still, as you say, an unwise choice of words because the phrase can be taken a couple of/a few ways.

  • Copying all the data elsewhere and re-partition is still the right answer...

    You could possibly get away with copying the data out of the last partition, deleting the last 3 and extending the other one then copying the data back but, as others have said, you seem to have rather too many partitions.

    ETA: there is no way to merge ntfs and ext4 partitions anyway - even without the intervening partitions that are present here. Copy, destroy extend is the only way.

  • They aren't. It will probably descend into an edit war.
