“Both sides”

“Vote third party!”

Wtf seriously this isn’t the same thing remotely but the arguments used are.

And you came here with nothing productive to add 🤣 we can both make useless comments it seems

Yes. That’s what allows Unix legends like this: https://www.ee.torontomu.ca/~elf/hack/recovery.html

Reminds me of OS/2

Go for a vintage correct OS for a challenge, try Haiku!

From Pearson directly it probably a bus. You’d probably have better options taking the Up Express from Pearson down to Union Station, then taking the Go from Union to Niagara Falls. Go only has a couple trips a day that run all the way to Niagara though, but you might be able to do a Via train from Union instead. Then just Uber the last leg from there to your hotel.

Didn’t we do this already back in the 90s with IE bundling??

Ok but……who the hell runs blender and FFP in 8GB?

The vast majority of users are NOT running pro apps like that.

It’s just a name. If you’re actually running pro stuff, you’d be an idiot to run that on 8Gb no matter what machine.

Apple’s argument that it’s the same as 16gb is dumb, but anyone actually using pro apps on 8Gb is dumber. The majority of browser(with sane numbers of tabs)/iPhoto/office users really are probably not gonna notice.

My 701 with 2gb ram and extended battery still works. I used to go wardriving with that thing!

The most annoying part I think is because I so rarely need them. All my Pis run headless, but the one time I do need direct console access I have to find the bloody adapters. Leaving them attached and unused is just asking them to get damaged.

Rather than using micro-hdmi (which hardly anything uses), stick a pair of usb-c DP ports instead if size is an issue. at least then I don't need adapters that are ONLY needed for the Pi.

Depends on your system. Desktop have different requirements than servers.

On both at minimum, I'd keep /home and /var/log separate. Those usually see the most writes, are least controlled, and so long as they're separate partitions they can fill up accidentally and your system should still remain functional. /tmp and /var/tmp should usually be mounted separately, for similar reasons.

/boot usually keep separate because bootloaders don't always understand the every weird filesystem you might use elsewhere. It would also be the one unencrypted partition you need to boot off of.

On a server, /opt and /srv would usually be separate, usually separate volumes for each directory within those as well, depending how you want to isolate each application/data store location. You could just use quotas; but mounting separately would also allow you to specify different flags, i.e. noexec, nosuid for volumes that should only ever contain data.

/var/lib/docker and other stuff in /var/lib I usually like to keep on separate mounts. i.e. put /var/lib/mysql or other databases on a separate faster disk, use a different file system maybe, and again different mount options. In distant past, you'd mount /var/spool on a different filesystem with more inodes than usual.

Highly secure systems usually require /var/log/audit to be separate, and needs to have enough space guaranteed that it won't ever run out of space and lock the system out due to inability to audit log.

Bottom line is its differnet depending on your requiremtns, but splitting unnecessarily is a good way to waste space and nothing else. Separate only if you need it on a different type of device, different mount options, different size guarantees etc, don't do it for no reason.

Yknow, if that assholes goal was to make SpaceX, X, and rename Tesla to CarX that might actually make sense
