You can generally do almost anything to a btrfs while the system is running with the filesystem mounted. In fact, most operations require the btrfs to be mounted.

You should keep a live USB handy though in case you mess up. Oh and also verify that you have a sufficient amount of backups of your important data. 1 copy can turn into 0 copies quite quickly. Rule of thumb places the minimum at 3 copies.

what do you mean by “After a rebuild of the initrd” ? That’s something I have to do after editing fstab? How do I do that?

Yes, for modifications to the root mount, you must rebuild the initrd for those changes to actually be applied where it matters.

How this is done fully depends on the distribution and is one of the more significant technical details that differ between just about every distro family. Consult your distro’s documentation on that.

You cannot merge them in any automated fashion. You have to manually copy one into the other.

btrfs provides some tools here though; you could use btrfs send | btrfs receive to transfer the subvolumes for instance.

You’d transfer all of your subvolumes in the root partition over to the “home” partition and then adjust your fstab accordingly. After a rebuild of the initrd, your system should boot into the root subvol of the formerly “home” partition. Once that works, you can delete the old root partition and extend the new combined partition.

As always, stable releases are about how frequently breaking changes are introduced. If breaking changes potentially happening every day is fine for you, you can use unstable. For many use-cases however, you want some agency over when exactly breaking changes are introduced as point releases a la NixOS provide you with a 1 month window to migrate for each release.

With efficient cpus and lack of dedicated gpus I doubt the 4W of RAM is really that much of a battery drain.

What? If anything, it’d be more drain relatively speaking.

4W is quite a lot if you consider that a decently efficient laptop should draw 5-8W at idle max.

The usual; check the server and client logs.

Archive is/ph/today etc. is playing dirty with DNS and actively lying to Cloudflare and some others too I believe. They all do not work.

I had to hard-code their IP address in my hosts file.

This should allow averagenon-technical users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

Mastodon’s UI for groups is terrible. This community is indistinguishable from an account named “@Firefox” with thousands of followers unless you open its page and notice it says “Group” and understand what that means.

I’d look further into that bug because it’s not happening on my end.

Do you have a better source than a 5 y/o comment in an issue?

Hier wurde einfach nicht ordentlich recherchiert, es wird LibreOffice verwendet. Es ist die gebrandete Version von Collabora, die einer der Haupt-Contributors von LO sind.

Freetube won’t have anything to do with h265 as youtube does not serve that format in any way.

Drive is under a different org:

TS is a lot easier to set up than WG and does not require a publicly accessible IP address nor any public whatsoever. It’s not really comparable to setting WG up yourself; especially w.r.t. security.

Das Ding mit den Anleihen ist, dass die Zinsen lange Zeit niedrig bis negativ waren und dadurch nur die jüngsten, kurzfristigsten gerade so Zentralbank Rendite abwerfen, also Eur ultrashort bonds oder Eur floating rate bonds (die sind zumindest von Banken).

Ich will damit ja auch nicht wirklich Rendite machen, ich will mich nur gegen die Inflation absichern. Für Rendite hab ich Equity Fonds.

floating rate bonds

Klingt auch nicht schlecht, muss ich mir mal anschauen. Hat halt ne große TD zur Inflation weil die BenchmarkRaten ja immer nur als Reaktion auf Änderungen der Inflation angepasst werden.

Ich nehme mal nicht an, dass DE sowas rausgibt? Suchmaschine findet nur die Inflation-linked bonds.

Gibt es da Index Fonds für?

As it says on the website, this is still in development and not actually ready for use by mere mortals quite yet. It hopefully will be at some point though as that is its explicit goal.

It’s a central server (that you could actually self-host publicly if you wanted to) whose purpose it is to facilitate P2P connections between your devices.

If you were outside your home network and wanted to connect to your server from your laptop, both devices would be connected to the TS server independently. When attempting to send IP packets between the devices, the initiating device (i.e. your laptop) would establish a direct wireguard tunnel to the receiving device. This process is managed by the individual devices while the central TS service merely facilitates communication between the devices for the purpose of establishing this connection.

If you’re worried about that, I can recommend a service like Tailscale which does not require permanently open ports to the outside world, offering quite a bit more security than an exposed traditional VPN server.
