For your linux partition you’d probably just need to install new drivers. I’ve popped my boot drive into a bunch of different pcs with no issue.
Your windows partition might be weird, last i heard it assigns the activation to the motherboard serial number or something so you might have to redo the crack or provide your activation code again
Brutal, i worked in b4 consulting before. They had Macs but you basically had to know someone to fight for it on your behalf.
I feel your pain, i struggled with a dell craptop for years. I swear to god, those things are designed to be awful.
(Although, shortly before i left i saw the new ones they were handing out which had Ryzen CPUs and actually looked pretty decent, but idk how well they worked because i left obv)
Maybe this works for a small-medium business, but for large enterprises (i work for a massive tech company) it doesn’t work like that.
Corporate devices are bought through enterprise service agreements, which have to go through the lawyers as well as the procurement team. Although you could get a contract from Lenovo for the actual devices, a Linux distro would have no service agreement, so that would kill it right there (+ legal would probably flag the risk of malicious code being injected into the OS, i.e. xz). Ignoring thag, devices that are onboarded need to be able to fit into existing device management solutions (ABM/MDM, EDR, DLP, AD, etc etc).
And before any of that, there would be some survey that goes out to determine how many employees would realistically make the switch. For Linux, that number would likely be so low that the business teams would decide it isn’t worth a discussion because of low business impact & user desire (not to mention that now the IT teams also need to be skilled up to support it).
I couldn’t even get a FOSS browser extension approved to be installed on my device, much less spur a movement for adding a whole new set of devices to the corporate inventory.
(Editing to add, i did talk to the IT guy and he said he wished he could give me one because he wants one too lol)
Well Zorin is ubuntu based, so i feel like that’s a win for Ubuntu (and debian)
Wikipedia editors man, going to the finest of details
Honestly, between the MBP and a similarly priced Dell as a company laptop, i choose the MBP.
The battery is better, the screen is better, performance is better, etc
Dell doesn’t know how to make a laptop & windows sucks ass. Macos is so locked down by default that all the restrictions on a company laptop don’t change the user experience all that much.
In an ideal world, id love a debian thinkpad or framework. But we don’t live in an ideal world, so had to choose between the two worst possible options
This actually reminds me, i had set something up a long time ago to do something similar (but forward the pic to discord)
Haven’t set it back up since reinstalling my OS, i should look into that
Thankfully, this doesn’t seem to apply to code written outside of the Arduino ecosystem, so i ASSUME that if you’re writing code for a cloned board using PlatformIO that these new terms don’t apply to you
If that’s not the case, I’ll switch to micropython (probably easier anyway)
FACTS, i wonder how much the fine is
My only thought on the race is how funny it is that Lando was told to “do more” with a 6 second gap and then finished with a 20 second gap
Couple of thoughts, not really about the race:
I have never heard of this, but I just looked it up and I guess i know what I’ll be trying next time we’re in oyster season
I will report back when it is done
Fuck the hot sauce, all you need is some cocktail sauce (with horseradish, not that tame ketchup shit) and it’s good to go
Of course this is only for senators, god forbid they give us mere civilians the same protections 🙄
But, make a backup of your db beforehand. I don’t know how it would work when upgrading an existing database
Understandable, I will say you definitely chose to dive straight into the deep end choosing Lemmy 🤣 I think most people cut their teeth using docker on stuff like Plex and the related *arrs, then jump to the more complex stuff.
But, it’s also the best way to learn so enjoy it :) stuff like this will become trivial eventually
This is the solution to your problem
Change your config to mount the data directory to /var/lib/postgresql instead of /var/lib/postgresql/data
My advice though, if your debugging skills are primarily comprised of asking AI for help, you’re in for a bit of a learning curve. The software is absolutely amazing (I’ve been running an instance since 2023), but weird things pop up and because this is so niche quick google searches are very limited and you gotta be willing to dive into github issues (this for example, I’ve also had to do it for pictrs to debug something a while ago).
Don’t feel discouraged though, this is probably the most rewarding thing I host (more than plex, immich, or any of the other “mainstream” things people talk about)
Editing to add, i know this is the fix because I had to reinstall lemmy from the ground up (long story) a few weeks ago and had the same issue :)
Third’d
Mint or any other ubuntu-derivative distro is 10000% the move. I’ve been running ubuntu as my os for a while now, and I’ve spent nearly the last decade on linux (makes me feel old saying that lol).
The other distros have a lot of strength, but at the end of the day i want to spend my time messing with things i want to mess with. I don’t want random weird issues that I have to constantly debug, and everyone can agree that stability is debian’s (and therefore ubuntu’s) undisputed strength
I mean, the only alternative is physical media of course ;)
This is true, i didn’t read the part where he’s keeping everything except the motherboard/cpu. I’m used to switching out to random gpus LMAO
