No reason to avoid it. Just know that you can't easily shink the filesystem, only grow it. To shrink you'd need to create a new FS then copy the data over manually.

Hmm. Maybe systemctl enable rc-local because I was too lazy to get the service order correct and I just wanted something to happen last and be done with it.

Funny thing. Some of my Norwegian family came to the US for healthcare they couldn't get in Norway. I believe it was some type of heart surgery one time and and I can't remember the other. So while it is expensive and out of pocket you can actually get that surgery when you need it.

Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that even the United States FBI recommended using ad blocking extensions to protect yourself online.

oflag=direct

Prevents the writes from piling up in the cache. dd will report the transfer is done when the writes have been cached so this setting prevents dd from exiting until the data has been written completely to the block device.

Neat! I'll have to try that out.

dd, or cat with a shell redirect are all you need to write that iso.

My trouble with dd is all the flags I need to remember to make it fast and more convenient. dd if=file of=/dev/device oflag=direct status=progress bs=1M is there anything I'm missing?

I'm not interested in discussing the first paragraph but for the second; as I understand it you have to define something before you can regulate it. The pedantry is over the definition of a machine gun in that a bump stock doesn't really apply because each bump is a separate action by the operator, and the court apparently agreed. The definition of a machine gun can be changed perhaps to define a maximum rate of fire instead of number of rounds fired per trigger pull or something.

FWIW you can bump fire without a bump stock, It just requires a little bit of manual dexterity

As for the worst joining Lemmy. I was starting to feel the same way until I deleted my 3 year old .ml account and blocked the lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear instances. Now my feed is quite pleasant and I'm enjoying the place much more all around.
