Yes, unfortunately. You might be able to use it as a normal user if you are a member of the ‘disk’ group, but its not consistent and it may still actually need root to do all the loopback setup and so forth that you need to make the Windows install ISO sane.

Windows install ISOs won’t work like that, you must use WoeUSB to write it or Ventoy to boot it

Plus ventoy has the advantage that you can just throw a bunch of ISOs on the drove and it’ll boot them all.

Or Netbird, both work very well and Netbird can be completely self hosted; Tailscale requires Headscale AFAIK.

Correct, parent should have said EREX (electric, range extended) or EREV, but not PHEV.

The Fisker Karma and BMW i3 (well some of them) were this type of EV. My wife had an i3 Rex and loved it, though it irritatingly had only a 2 gallon gas tank.

Mazda was working on one but it never came out in the US. Supposedly the Scout EV will have a Rex, that would be nice.

It depends on how the document is written, but \> stops matching on a period, comma, apostrophe, space, newline, what have you. Word boundary matching is just very handy.

As to why its that set of characters… Honestly I have no idea :) Regexes are just what they are and I assume the special escape made sense to the inventor at least.

/-o\>

Seems to work, albeit you’ll hit later mentions doing it more than once, but yeah word boundary searches are awesome.

Agree with your overall suggestion, just a tip for when the man page doesnt cooperate.

Once I had to start running daemon-reload on changing freaking /etc/fstab I was done with systemd. Give me any other init system at this point.

You may not hear this from others, but I would NOT switch your phone OS and desktop OS at the same time. Assuming you live a digital life there is just TOO MUCH to have to deal with while dealing with tbe hassle of things that don’t make sense, or require you to stop what you’re doing and google the answer.

I love /e/OS and would absolutely recommend it, but there are just shortcomings that slow me down all the time (are you OK with the play store compatibility suddenly stopping and you cant download apps - do you wait and see if it starts working after a few minutes? reboot your phone? Log out and back into your google account? Switch to/from anonymous? This happens more than I think folks would readily admit and the solution is just different each time)

Once you are up and running fot a few weeks with whatever change you want to make first then sure go for the other one.

Best of luck!

From what I’m reading, autoclean would remove any local packages which couldn’t be download (i.e. they are out of date). This would indeed fix the issue, but your packages could still be missing critical udpates.

When possible you should definitely run ‘sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade’ to get the latest stuff installed. If it says you’re up to date then that’s awesome and no further action is needed.

This is almost always the issue. Apt is not like yum and pacman, you must first run apt update or it will inevitably fall out of sync with the current packages when you try to run install or upgrade, etc.

I have indeed seen that XO-CE script. But is it true that you have to delete and recreate the container, rather than just doing apt update? AFAIK XO_CE is just a debian VM.

Put single quotes around the URL.

? and & are special characters, and the shell will think you meant something unintended if you dont protect them.

This is a bit of a hack, but while you wait for a new drive or laptop, you could install Linux onto a thumb drive and run it from there.

When you use Rufus to write the image to the flash drive, it should give you the option to create a persistent storage section with a slider to say how much of the drive to allocate to that. At least this should keep Microsoft from destroying the data on it, lthough it will probably ask every time it starts up whether you want to format that drive.

This way you can just use whatever your BIOS boot key is, probably something like F12, to boot onto your Linux and keep it away from Microsoft :)

These replies are mega cope. It’s not slightly incorrect, just incorrect or very lazy. It’s mentally exhausting to try and read this way, and they do not capitalize beginning of their ‘sentences’, nor ‘I’, etc.

Writing in this way does not make one come off as the next e. e. cummings, they just look very uneducated.

“Turns out we’re both teachers.” Posts a 90 word run on sentence.

We are all doomed.

Yeah it is bad. But don’t write off cryptocurrency forever because of it. Ethereum used to be Proof of Work also, but made the transition to Proof of Stake, which has basically had no issues or exploits and reduced electricity usage more than 99%. Most modern chains like SOL and BNB happily have completely abandoned the antiquated PoW mechanisms.

What crypto needs is regulation and enforcement (and a better use case than just number go up); unfortunately under Trump the US will possibly get the former, certainly not the latter.

Maybe 2027 I suppose.

Honestly this seems a little excessive, BUT there is one important thing you can do to prolong your rats life and that is to always have two or three. Sorry if you already know all this, but just in case: Rats are very social and help each other’s physical and mental health; we might think we can provide enough social contact for them, but they just need at least one other rat in their life to be happy. IMO It’s best to just start with 3 from the same litter (in case one dies on the younger side).

This is the real cost IMO, as you need a decent sized cage to be able to give them some room to move around, as well as lining, toys and food. This should usually be the majority of the cost of ownership.

Truthfully most rats are fairly resilient, the hardest thing to deal with its that their lifespan just doesn’t compare to other types of pets. 3 years is really the max you’re looking at and we’ve had many barely make it to 2, so really you need to plan for end of life care and burial or cremation costs and the occasional vet visit, which very a lot by region.

If you have a VCA or a local vet who specializes in rodents (cause trust me, we’ve had bad vets who accidentally did more harm than good) you should be able to get an idea of costs for a tumor removal should one occur, unless you just want to put them down once it starts hurting their quality of life. This is much easier said than done because they are such sweet animals.

For us in central MA, for our least healthy rat is around $800 for a tumor removal (which has already come back about 6 months later, so another $800 upcoming), and end of life stuff usually is around $200-250. I hope this helps!

Bitcoin is basically only mined via ASICs now. You can still mine something like ETC but honestly chains have (rightfully) been moving to far more efficient consensus using Proof of Stake.

For the amount of electricity you would need to mine a meaningful amount of BTC, you’d be much better off buying spending $50 or $100 worth of BTC or ETH every week. Either hodl or DCA sell when prices bounce up.

I will miss her so much!
