voidlinux: gave me much better battery life - I assume because it starts as a minimal system and one adds only the essentials to do the job - compared to the soup-to-nuts distros that pile everything in so that newbies are acccomodated. Of course, the voidlinux approach needs more linux skills - but it's not that hard and the doco is great.

Also, I love the back to basics runit init system and runsv service runner (I'm old so I like that stuff) and the ultra fast xbps packaging system.

Thanks (to all the authors) for your hard work and contributions.

BTW - thanks for Mistral. Another tool in the box!

Quite right!

You need to take it all (AI or internet searches) with a huge pinch of salt. Even ye olde text books were not infallible and often out of date, so sodium chloride was also required even then.

The code either works or it doesn't - it's all in the testing. If you deploy AI suggestions without thought you deserve the consequences.

so just use chatgpt or gemini - pretty sure they sucked in all of reddit to form their KB

I followed up on github as you suggested and a very nice young man took a look at it and said that the code already does work the right way (at least the way I and their little poll think it should work). But, it turns out that the fix (from 2021) has not been deployed - it's to be in the next release.

So I don't know what will happen now - I'll continue to use my workaround, so I'm happy enough.

So he's a journalist </s> Thanks for the warning, saved me a read.

thanks!

It might be more expected for you but I'm going to differ.

for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.

... and then you can't get to the discussion.

The RSS-2.0 definition of is

The URL to the HTML website corresponding to the channel.

so clearly, it should point to the lemmy post. No other RSS feed that I know of has this problem.

Fortunately, emacs can flex around this, but duh! Where can I raise a bug report?

Another approach entirely is to use pam_mount(8) which can automatically mount a disc on login. I use it to mount /home/$USER (obviously this couldn't be used to mount the root fs !!)

virt-manager for the win!

"64-128mb ram" is hardly "low memory"!
