Yeah, but Timeshift uses the Ubuntu style subvolume naming, @ for root, @home for /home, so you have to create them that way, otherwise, it won’t work. It can work if you tell it to ignore home, but checks for @ as root on start up.

0x4E4F, (edited )

I know how to do that, you set the subvolume as the default one, thus, when mounting, if no options are passed, it always mounts that subvolume as root.

But, you have to disable that. Sure, I set it during install, cuz installers are stupid (if you tell it to install in /@, it will most probably moan), but disable it after first run (set the real root as the default subvol, i.e. mount point) and just add subvol mount options in fstab.

It’s just extra steps I have to do now 😒, that’s why the rant.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, they came in later on and that’s why I think they were “better”… learned from experience with the wifi drivers. And they weren’t really better, most of them still use binary blobs.

0x4E4F,

The first experience with anything can make a world of a difference ☺️. Good thing I’m stubborn 😂.

0x4E4F,

That might also be a general network drivers vs. kernel version problem as well. I’ve had that on some Ubuntu falvors on various cards, it isn’t specific to just wi-fi, it happened on lan as well (just disconnects for a few ms and then connects again).

And yeah, one of the many reasons why I usually buy second hand hardware as well. One, it’s a lot cheaper, two, drivers for Linux are usually not a problem 😁.

0x4E4F,

I just think you’ve had the luck of not having a lot of unsupported hardware on Linux 😂.

Yes, in general, things are OK driver wise, but remember when we had to resort to ndiswrapper to get wifi working… yeah, that was a pain 😔.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, the Chinese stuff seems to work better under Linux… for some reason 😂. I one based on a Realtek chip (I think 🤔) and I couldn’t get passed a few hundred KB in Windows. Linux fried that baby, it did 1.5MB 😂.

0x4E4F,

There are some oddball cards out there that need the linux firmware xxx (insert manufacturer instead of xxx) binary blobs in order to work, but yes, those cards are rare nowadays and mostly older hardware uses that (as you mentioned, hardware from 10+ years ago).

0x4E4F,

Or switch wifi cards, have done that as well when there was no other option.

0x4E4F,

Use that till the drivers get released… temporary solution, but there isn’t a better one at the moment 🤷.

0x4E4F,

Trust me when I say this, that wasn’t always the case 😔.

0x4E4F,

Yes, if it’s on 5 to 10 year old hardware.

0x4E4F,

LPT - Line Print Terminal? 🤨

0x4E4F,

I would rather not have them 😂. If I’d have rivals, I’d just go for another girl.

Not really in the mood for dominance, I’m almost 40 😂.

0x4E4F,

What do you mean by that? Hardware wise? Except for the optical media, I can’t really see any hardware flaws…

0x4E4F, (edited )

Water purifer, AK-47, Machette, Jeep… I hope the Jeep has a CB and a first aid kit 😁.

0x4E4F,

Tell your kids the boogie man and witches are afraid of books and reading, so if we read, they won’t come 😁.

0x4E4F,

IDK, just asking 🤷.

0x4E4F,

Hm… so she calls you her wife as well, correct 🤔?

0x4E4F,

Yeah, I see your point of view. May be better like that… or a combo of votes maybe (the people and the council).

0x4E4F,

The council, the rest of the people in it.

0x4E4F,

You groom them from children. This is an unpopular opinion, but it’s the best solution I could think of. Shamans have done the same in tribes. Some children show empathetic and leadership skills, stading behind the weak and sharing things equaly among siblings and other children. You pick those and groom them from children to take on the burden to be leaders. Yes, this is not fair, they’ll never grow up to choose what they want to be, but so are so many things in life. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good… and so many far worse things have happened in human history.

0x4E4F,

You resign them from their positions because those leaders will not be the only ones in the country/world, more like a part of a council.

I have thought about this as well… this is the best I could come up with.
