Is it shallow, or petty, to decide based on name alone? Yeah, pretty much, but there’s probably something, a product or service or site, that the name has made you gloss right over it or jump to it ASAP....
For 3 or 4 seasons I completely ignored Game of Thrones - the name just threw me off. To some extend I’m happy I did - there was a lot of content to catch up to when I finally did give the first episode a shot :)
Heya folks, some people online told me I was doing partitions wrong, but I’ve been doing it this way for years. Since I’ve been doing it for years, I could be doing it in an outdated way, so I thought I should ask....
It’s not wrong, as such, but simply not right. Since you’re using btrfs, having a separate partition for home makes little sense. I, personally, also prefer using a swapfile to a swap partition, but that’s potato/potato.
BTRFS has a concept called a subvolume. You are allowed to mount it just like any other device. This is an example /etc/fstab I’ve copied from somewhere some time ago.
/efi (or /boot, or /boot/efi, whatever floats your boat) still has to be a separate vfat partition, but all the other mounts are, technically speaking, the same partition mounted many times with a different subvolume set as the target.
Obviously, you don’t need to have all of them separated like this, but it allows you to fine tune the parts of system that do get snapshot.
Which things have you avoided or embraced on the name alone?

I created a shitty Python script to manage multiple SSH connections because I couldnt find a decent one (git.ohaa.xyz)
One single partition for Linux versus using a partition table?

Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?
Hi, I was wondering, is it useful to use multiple adblockers in a row?...
