3·5 days agoThat’s not it, I have both operating system partitions on my Samsung 970 Evo, and they both share a 100MB EFI System Partition, on that same disk.
I’ve had the same dual boot configuration since around 2018 and this never happens to me, yet I keep reading that it happens to others. I really wonder what I did differently.

OpenSUSE Tumblweed is just rolling redhat with cleaner standards like Fedora.
I’m confused I thought SUSE and RHEL were unrelated branches of the distro tree?
I recently figured out that Windows installs can go way faster if you have a slightly better USB stick. I bought an Intenso High Speed Line 64 GB for 10.90€ and it cut down the time by half or even two thirds I would say.
Of course I try to avoid installing Windows in the first place, but I’m not just working on my own machines.
I think you should try stating your wishes, and then sticking with them. It worked for me before, when I was also struggling with a similar thing, thought it was grownups, instead of kids.
If you say things like “not right now”, “I’m doing x currently”, “I can’t because I’m busy”, this signals to them that they need to wait, and you will be available later. And as they get impatient they will ask you again. This isn’t what you want.
If you say “sorry, today I would like to play alone” they will possibly be more disappointed that they don’t get you at all, but at least they will know not to expect your availability and they can hopefully make their own fun. It’s sort of like ripping off the band-aid. It’s more uncomfortable for you to say it this way, and will hurt them more to hear, but it’s better for everyone involved in the long run.
I used to be evasive with my adult gaming friends, like “I’m not sure I’ll be online today” and “I might come on later”, sometimes while hiding my steam and discord status and playing alone. But it had the same effect you’re describing. These days I just tell them, “Sorry I’m too tired”, or “Sorry I feel like playing a single player game today”. It’s miles better, and I don’t have to keep lying.
Just to make sure have you actually tried turning them down? Even if they are kids you’re allowed to say no.
Like “No, sorry, I want to do my own thing alone, tonight” ?
3·13 days agoOh I haven’t seen one of those yet, that does sound like an improvement.
Heat pumps are like heat pumps
while preventing outside air from getting in
If that worked you’d slowly turn your dwelling into a vacuum chamber :-)
The same volume of air will enter your home in one way or the other, the important bit is that it’s cooler than the exhausted air. In particular you don’t want the hot exhaust to recirculate back in.
Ideally you’d get medium warm air from another room into yours, and warm outside air into an unoccupied room.
No, I’m not interested in that topic

You’re completely right
Hahaha
12·15 days agoNot really, it feels fine to me. A lot of thoughtful comments to be found too.

Something that screws and something that sounds like wench. I would think huh fun little riddle and then go in. The idea that it was supposed to be ungendered wouldn’t even occur.
Kenya AA…
I kept waiting for Kenyian alcoholic’s anonymous to feature in the story. I might be stupid
If the dictionary isn’t good enough, would it help if I demonstrate usage?
Granted, the terms “wilfully” and “maliciously” are a little more popular, but it’s not that far apart either:
I am also hoping that I do that, but I still don’t
I’m a network engineer for a Swiss ISP that serves only a specific niche of institutional customers, not home users.
I think there are still many who don’t know this: All important internet links go over fiber optic cables with lasers and photo diodes at the ends, and in the backbone everything under 100 Gigabits per second is slow.
The speeds you are used to as a consumer are mostly limited by the last mile to your house, be it wireless, DSL on telephone wires, or DOCSIS on coax cable. Everywhere else 10 Gigabits per second is like the minimum. Our current generation backbone routers can’t even do 1 Gigabits per second interfaces anymore.
