Lvm could be the way to go. Start with the minimum amount of partitions (i.e. / and /boot and swap as lv, maybe efi as a real partition). Add additional lv later if/ when you need them. You can always re-size a partition and the wrapping lv when you want to re- distribute storage-space.

I never needed more than these partitions. But that is just my use case.

Edit: oh. Missed the Multi boot point. Forget what I wrote. :)

Great. I would like to be able to do that.

Danke Merkel!

I need a sabbatical. Canada maybe or New Zealand. A retreat to a monastery also sounds nice. I will rebuild an old farm house. Something along these lines. :)

It doesn’t have to be the truth, or does it?

What the fork?

Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be für nothing. But it would be worth a try.

It’s definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and… broad practical application.

Too late maybe. :)

It felt unusual at first that they attached semantics to (white spaces and tabs as) non-printable characters. On the other hand other n.p.- characters like line feeds always had a meaning (I.e. within multi line strings).

So why not, when it helps to reduce the amount of (printable) characters to describe your thing and increase clarity? 🤔

Interesting. I learned something. Again.

I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.

The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.

Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.

Allow multiple groups per post (use them like tags). This would have some interesting implications regarding moderation and the handling of replies to the said post.

Having multiple identical posts in different groups with distributed replies doesn’t feel ideal to me.

Why is it out already? It should be in! They just have published it.

It wasn’t meant to deliver a solution. It’s an opinion (as in a piece of my point of view).

It’s just not the right way to go in my opinion. (And yes I understand the reasons why people choose what they choose. )

You seem ambivalent about the topic. I understand your arguments, but I don’t agree with your solution. That doesn’t need to bother you. We probably have very different requirements for transportation.

I live in an area where I don’t need a car to get where I want to - bike, bus and train are sufficient. And I don’t normally need to transport so much that I need a car. And if I need a car I get a rental for a short time.

Sometimes I shake my head a little in disbelief because I find the trend towards more individual transportation within large cars concerning. But then again my lifestyle isn’t for everyone and who am I to judge? (But I’m entitled to my own opinion. ;)

Just get an even bigger car, it will keep you safe from those.

Why do they wait in line for one guy? It’s just a select and there should be multiple employees at the counter, or not?

Arguably a big part of piracy is about digital distribution services (DDS). Just not the ones the digital rights owner had in mind.

So many orphaned comments and no post. Strange.

“You are the number 1111 (base 255) for me.” isn’t even a backhanded compliment any more, or is it?

I mean, that puts the person in question behind 16.843.008 more favourable people (unless I’ve miscalculated).
