I should’ve used it sooner rather than last year when they announced AI integration to Windows. Every peripheral I tried is just worked without needing to install drivers, and it works better and faster than on Windows, just like today when I tried to use my brother’s 3D printer expecting disappointment, but no, it just connected and was ready to print right away (I use Ultimaker Cura), whereas on my brother’s Windows computer I have to wait like 20 seconds; sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect it again for it to see and ready to use. Lastly, for those who are wondering, I use Vanilla Arch (btw), and sorry for bad English.

I’m on a Fedora Kinoite system that is entirely on one LUKS encrypted drive, I recently added a second drive to have more space and I’m wondering how I should make use of it.
For now I formatted it completely with a new btrfs partition encrypted with LUKS and to actually add I thought I could:

1. automount it to some location, not sure where I should mount it though, I’ve seen many questions online that say to avoid /mnt for permanent drives and also /media (there are contrasting opinions on that, though), so I thought I could maybe sidestep this question by going with the second option which is the following
2. extending the already existing btrfs /sysroot to span across the 2 partitions on the separate drives, but I didn’t find good information on this process when LUKS is involved. It seems like that kind of operation are heavily discouraged due to risking data loss

So I wonder, what is the best approach and the one that will give me fewer headaches? If it is the second, how do I do it?

This is how #Linux got started, and this was the first email posted. 🥰 It is a good reminder that some of the greatest kernels started with humble beginnings. Thank you Linus!

What would you like to see most in minix? - comp.os.minix | Google Groups. Hello everybody out there using minix - I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things). I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-) Linus

I have a server running Debian that has been connected to WiFi for a long time, but I have since moved it and given it a wired connection. It still seems to be using WiFi though, and in my router settings it shows up as connected through WiFi and not through ethernet.

Now I want to make sure that I can switch over from WiFi to ethernet directly from an ssh-connection so I won’t have to connect a screen to get direct access.

What is my best bet here? A lot of the tools I find used for different network operations are not pre-installed, and I don’t want to be installing just everything being suggested. Can I solve this by installing network-manager and using nmcli?

chmod never changes the permissions of symbolic links; the chmod system call cannot change their permissions. This is not a problem since the permissions of symbolic links are never used. However, for each symbolic link listed on the command line, chmod changes the permissions of the pointed-to file. In contrast, chmod ignores symbolic links encountered during recursive directory traversals.

However, on a Mac, chmod can be used to modify the permissions of a symbolic link using options such as this (from man chmod):
