Not so much servers as removable media. Three letter creature names: ape, bat, cat, dog, elk, fox, gnu, hen, imp, jay, kit, lee (fish), mus, nan (from Inuit folklore), owl, pug, qua, rat, sas (from Slavic folklore) and so on (I need to find my printed list beyond here)
T: "Tay" (a mythical creature from Scottish folklore, often described as a small, elf-like being)
U: "Ufi" (a legendary creature from Native American folklore, said to resemble a small humanoid figure)
V: "Vim" (a mythical creature from Hindu mythology, sometimes depicted as a bird-like being)
W: "Wyy" (inspired by the Wyvern, a legendary creature similar to a dragon but with only two legs)
X: "Xin" (a mythical creature from Chinese mythology, often depicted as a lion-like beast)
Y: "Yen" (a legendary creature from Vietnamese folklore, resembling a large, serpent-like creature)
Z: "Ziz" (a mythical creature from Jewish mythology, described as a giant bird)
One place I worked we had a rule - do not name a server for any group using it. It seems the groups become territorial when you try to add a different group to "their" server.
You can check the CPU and memory statistics by looking at the files under /proc, but I was wondering how to get the file system capacity, so I looked at the df(1) code. . coreutils: df.c coreutils: fusage.c macOS: df.c Here is the code prepared to verify the operation of the library. Code to find out what df uses to output · GitHub For Linux On Linux, file system information can be obtained using statvfs(3). Although this is treated as a wrapper for the statfs(2) system call, it is basically recommended to use statvfs(3). (Via google translate)
I've been using some cheap flash drives for things like installing OSs and the like, but now I've picked up a Dell Wyse 3040 system to play with which only has 8gb of storage. So I'm installing the OS onto a flash drive permanently (don't worry, just for messing with, nothing of value will be lost if/when the drive craps out)....
I wonder if you can replace the storage element with something bigger. It might be a data drive or an M.2 drive. You could replace either with a bigger device.
In the Silicon Valley / San Jose / Bay area, there was a BBS that had a hierarchical message board, Replies were ordered under posts or other replies.

408 or 415 I think (Being San Jose / Sunnyvale / Santa Clara and San Francisco and Peninsula) it was not a toll call from my home in the 408 area code.

My friend works for a company which requires her to use Microsoft specific application, she didn't really want to switch to Win 11 and choose to just use Wine Linux package and install a 2016 version of MS office on her Linux laptop.

Would the Pi automatically set an APIPA address if DHCP was not available? If so he need only connect the cable, and ask each machine what their address is.
KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I'm really pleased.
Perhaps it should be a company policy that any demand to pay by phone/text/video conf must be authenticated by the office worker hanging up and calling the appropriate company officer on a non-published phone number. The workers immediate supervisor should also be involved in anything out of the ordinary. With a well known policy that calling the company officer will never result in any trouble for the office worker.
Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it's 'tech-y' or acting like you're more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly....
when I was dual booting, I found that as long as Windows was around even knowing how bad it was, I continued to use windows. When I no longer had to personally use windows for anything I went all Linux without problem.
The Germans also fell prey to Microsoft telling them that they would give them all the free copies of Windows they might need and build a new facility providing a ton of jobs in their area if they would abandon the Linux thing.
The city in question also built their own distro based on an older version of an existing distro rather than going from off the shelf.
Were there any 8-bit era computers that had a 3.5" floppy? They probably would have run CP/M. I do have an apple IIC+, but I also would like some sort of Z80 machine.
All of these are really good - As I said I already have an apple IIC+ so that covers the 6502 side of things I think. I am thinking of something like a Vixen, or Ortrona only with the 3.5" drives- All in one. Or something I could build myself with like 2 of these drives. In that case, I can use my laptop as its screen and keyboard through a USB/Serial adapter. But an SX64 shape is what I am looking for.
Usually my process is very… hammer and drill related - but I have a family member who is interested in taking my latest batch of hard drives after I upgraded....
Does one have to supply the password at each boot with what you are describing - this sounds like the password is somewhere in the partition table. If so what do I google to learn more?
Some SSD drives can do a secure erase via block encryption where the key is stored on the drive itself. There is a command that simply generates a new key - Voilà your drive now contains random bits. I don’t know if newer spinning rust drives have this feature too.

Indeed - it seems that this tracking is done completely outside of the phone, asking the network where, physically, the push notification was delivered (Tower, time, and date) to locate the phone and ostensibly the owner of the phone.
Windows Telemetry at first. Then Windows browbeating various products - “Edge please download Firefox” - Edge: “Why, I am better than Firefox” Me:“Do as I say” Edge: “But -blah blah nah” and so on. I know there are ways around it, but if someone can force an update against my will on my machine, it is not my machine. This leads to questions of what else can they do without my permission. Linux is my machine. I control when and how and what. Also customization.
While I have an old Gmail account I do not use it. My main email account is with (not much better) Microsoft. I also have an account with Proton Mail, which will eventually be my only account.

Does Wayland allow for the running of a program on a big powerful server (where many users live) and display on a smaller desktop machine that is only providing a screen and keyboard? If not, are they working on that? If it does not and they are not working on it, is it even possible under the way that Wayland works?
This may be “moving the goal posts”, if so I apologize in advance. With Waypipe can I have local windows and remote windows on my laptop? Will Waypipe work over a VPN (Tailscale is a VPN right?)
