A metadadjoke!!!

Wow. SNOBOL was one of the coolest, Stange languages.

Or, perhaps 12 hours and 16 minutes after it gave out?

Yeah, it’s basically a big hole in the ground, with some bits of ancient columns scattered about. The Temple of Artemis is a bit of bog with a couple of columns standing up - they have been restored.

The wife and I have visited 5 of the 7 Wonders sites. The statue of Zeus is in our future at some point. I’m told that all there is is a replica in the middle of a roundabout.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, sadly, will never be a place we go. For one, nobody knows where it precisely is. For another, it’s in Iraq, and we’re not going anywhere where you need a flak jacket and a security team just to look for an Ancient Wonder that isn’t there any more.

This is, of course, a perfect example of D-K in action. This dude is writing his own email server, FFS, and he characterizes himself as, “at least somewhat knowledgeable”.

I’ve read a bunch of the old RFC’s for email services years ago, when you needed some of that info in order to do interesting things with sendmail. I figure that might have put me in the top 20% of programmers/admins/techies back in the day. But to actually consider writing an email server - no way. That’s a different level of “at least somewhat knowledgeable” .

The question implies that the OP wants to create one giant filesystem with all of their data on it. This has its own issues, especially if it is in /home. For one, as someone else pointed out, it’s fairly difficult to run your system without /home mounted, and that makes it difficult to resize. Sure, you can set up an admin account with it’s home in the /root filesystem and then log into that - but that seems to be a lot of work in itself.

If it was me, I’d set up mount points for file systems that make sense. Maybe /data/Photos, or /data/Music, or data/AppData, or whatever. As much as possible, I’d just point whatever software I was using to those new directories to find the data. If that isn’t feasible, for whatever reason, then a symbolic link from /home/Photos to /data/Photos will work seamlessly in most cases.

As far as I’m concerned, after administering enterprise systems using Unix going as far back as the early 90’s, symbolic links are a key tool in managing disk space that you shouldn’t just dismiss because it’s “an unnecessary layer of complexity”. Having smaller, purpose designed, file systems allows you to manage them better. Sticking everything into /home is probably not the right answer for anyone.

Resizing partitons is often not necessary. Use a symbolic link to relocate a subdirectory to another file system. For 99% of use cases this is indistinguishable from expanding the partition.

In all truth, I’ve probably seen more sphinxes than foxes. There are literally hundreds of them in Egypt, although they are quite small compared to the one near the pyramids in Giza. They also find their way into museums around the world.

I’ve only seen one or two foxes, in the wild. A few more in zoos, I suppose.

I guess they figure that Linux users already know what they are doing when it comes to security.

How did you get that far? The wife and I lasted about 5 minutes.

I would like an ad-blocker that blocks the “Please enable ads pop-ups”

My BIL still gives his weight in “stone”. As in, “I’m 12 stone, 7 lbs and 3 ounces”.

I joke with him that only makes sense to people who are comfortable with Pounds, Shillings and Pence, too.

I’m guessing that the “cheese” component wasn’t actually what anyone outside of the USA would call cheese.

I don’t think so. The mail is delivered to the Proton mail server via unencrypted SMTP and then sent on to the client encrypted. The secure layer is between the client and the server. It might also be stored on the server encrypted.

Email is unsecure as hell in any event, but I think the idea is that once it’s delivered, it’s secured.

Isn’t Proton supposed to be end to end encryption between crient and server? And wouldn’t that rule out IMAP?

To explain for those not in Canada… It is usual in Canada for a job to start with a low level of PTO an then add a week every few years that you stay with the company. This usually is capped at 6 weeks.

You can, of course negotiate an amount of PTO when you accept a job. Someone coming into a more senior position wouldn’t expect to start with just two weeks of PTO.

I cannot express adequately how different blades are from each other. Some are smoother than others, some are sharper and some improve after a few uses. Some last longer.

I have fairly fine whiskers, so I don’t need a crazy sharp blade like Feather. My skin is also a bit sensitive, so a smooth blade is best.

For me Big Ben, blades made by Lord in Egypt are really good. One of the versions of Shark, also made by Lord are pretty good too.

I find Wilkenson Sword blades to be horribly scratchy, and the name for some of the Gillette blades. Voskhod aren’t bad, except they are Russian.

You don’t realize how different they are until you try.

Religion. Ruins. Everything. Every. Time.

Blades vary greatly between brands. Get a sampler pack from eBay to find ones you like. Then buy them in bulk. 100 blades will generally cost from $8-$14, depending on the brand. Some, like Feather, are more expensive.

Wait til the OP learns about the Easy Bake Oven.
