if you have btrfs as the filesystem, try filesystem compression. if you have stuff which can benefit from compression, it can reduce disk usage significantly.

if you format a new partition, add compression as a mount flag (zstd, level 3).

if you already have a system without compression, do something like

sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r -v -czstd "path_to_file_or_folder"  

do check properly in btrfs docs (this command is not that unsafe, but any file system operation has some inherent risk, so please do it carefully).

you trade disk read speeds and slight cpu usage (less than 1-2%), but if you do not have something that io speed dependent, it is great. (imagine things like game folders, or root /usr dir which has packages)

veronica is great, but she posts much rarely. i guess we can only choose quality or quantity.

as others have said, major thing is federation, which is rolling out. other than that, the are mostly complete.

not really. it is more of, “i am not really motivated enough right now, can you please motivate me a bit?”

maybe programs liek navi (or any of the other billion snippets managers) can help you. essentially, these have list of commonly used commands, and then you open it with some keybinding, and you will search, lets say git commit (you know you want to commit, but lets say you forget that flag to give in line message is ‘-m’, then command git commit -m "message" would appear. you would select it, and it should either be typed into terminal, or copied to clipboard, or some other way to quicly enter it. some others do this by autocompleting from suggestions. I have something handrolled for the purpose (which is not in a state to be recommended to others), so i would say just search snippet/command manager/helper/complete, and you should get tonnes of them. i remember one of them, that is navi.

you may also like to check out fish shell (or if you do not mind setting up zsh, if you want posix compatibility as well), as it has a very superior (compared to ootb bash) autocomplete, which will complete commands, and their flags, and sometimes also gives description of what that subcommand/flag does.

there used to be more, but now news is the main thing.

in olden times (of 2021), distro reviews/why linux is better/software showcase were the main things.

there were folks like luke smith (not going to his political shit) would do demos for things like groff/troff (imagine a latex alternative, now it is pretty much only used for man pages). but you get the idea - they would demo software, use it, compare it.

there is tle, who did lots of lists (like x amount of tools from elementary os which are great), linux cast would do file manager reviews, brodie would cover commandline stuff.

now pretty much all 3 of them do news. I still watch brodie because his news at times is niche and kinda fun, but i really do not want to hear lkml drama (which is non existent).

one of the youtubers which got me into linux was mental outlaw. he made tonnes of privacy/security/anonymity related videos back then, and occasional covered hacking news. i started trying to make windows more private (it truly started from try to make wwindows leaner), and then he, and tle got me into linux.

now i do not watch almost any of them. (except brodie, and occasional tle and tlc)

why all went to news - it is easier to make.

that would be great. more than disturbing balance, the 5% basically hits the poor only. reach either live in places where the 5% do not reach them, or they can be treated.

again technically, no, you may not have any major “perforation”, and sperms could just “diffuse” (not technically correct, but you get the idea) through

As a non cat owner - why? how bad could it go. at best i assume cat would scratch my face or other body parts. like what is the worst that can happen. maybe cat eats you, but like, what is so bad

going on extreme technicality, but it is possible for fertilisation through anal intercourse (there are documented case).

I don’t care about cockroaches, they do not worry me much. I also do not care about like 95% of mosquito species which do not “annoy” humans. I just want the remaining 5% to vanish

here is another seemingly wrong thing - most metals get brittle when they harden. or in the meme-y way

when the metal hardens, it breaks more easily, man…

Those who want the reason, when metals are hardened (by means by annealing and subsequent quenching, or cold working, or hot working), multiple “defects” (point, line, planar as well)(in this context, these words have specific meaning, but that is not very important). these “defects” resist motion, so if you apply some amount of force, they do not deform as much (not the technically correct wording, but close enough) - this is hardness. but simultaneously, when these defects form, they also act as psitions of “stress concentration” (imagine weak points). so more there are defects, harder they become, simultaneously, more likely to break (the likeliness to break is quantised by elongation at fracture, hardness has multiple quantisations, but we usually do some correlation-ary things (like measuring the area/depth of deformation made by some specific method))

everyone who has ever heard of pi, has either died, or will die. just thought of pi gives you a chronic illness which can not be cured
