I actually have my whole home directory like that for that reason haha
bin - executables
dev - development, git projects
doc - documents
etc - symlinks to all the local user configs
med - pictures, music, videos
mnt - usb/sd mountpoints
nfs - nfs mountpoints
smb - smb mountpoints
src - external source code
tmp - desktop
~/dev/, with project/org subdirectories
The real challenge facing a kremlin linux fork isn’t opposition, it’s deciding what to do once they realize there aren’t any maternity wards in the kernel they can shoot ballistic missiles at.
Those kids and their families should sue the fuck out of him.
Mom, can we have military alliance?
Mom: we have military alliance at home
Military alliance at home: 🇷🇺🇰🇵🤡
How in the world does propaganda supporting the aims of a right-wing fascist dictator equate to “deviating leftward”?
Forgejo, a Gitea fork used by Codeberg. I chose it because it’s got the right balance of features to weight for my small use case, it has FOSS spirit, and it’s got a lovely package maintainer for FreeBSD that makes deployment and maintenance easy peasy (thanks Stefan <3).
If you’re trying to have password auth be a second layer on top of key auth (requiring a password after connecting with your ssh key), you can add the following to your server’s sshd_conf:
AuthenticationMethods "publickey,password"
/dev/sda is the whole raw disk - you typically don’t want to directly interact with /dev/sda, unless you are partitioning or overwriting it. There are a few layers between that device and the files:
You’ll need to find where that ext4 filesystem is mounted, and run the chown command on that. You can run lsblkand see a tree of the above hierarchy, with the ext4 filesystem’s mountpount shown in the right-hand column.
Nikita Khrushchev, in his own memoir, stating clearly that the USSR could not have won the war on its own:
I would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin’s views on whether the Red Army and the Soviet Union could have coped with Nazi Germany and survived the war without aid from the United States and Britain. First, I would like to tell about some remarks Stalin made and repeated several times when we were “discussing freely” among ourselves. He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany’s pressure, and we would have lost the war. No one ever discussed this subject officially, and I don’t think Stalin left any written evidence of his opinion, but I will state here that several times in conversations with me he noted that these were the actual circumstances. He never made a special point of holding a conversation on the subject, but when we were engaged in some kind of relaxed conversation, going over international questions of the past and present, and when we would return to the subject of the path we had traveled during the war, that is what he said. When I listened to his remarks, I was fully in agreement with him, and today I am even more so.

Friendly reminder that lemmy votes are public
Makes you wonder who the hell was still running kaspersky in the US…
Incredible campaign ad, 10/10
I blocked hexbear and lemmygrad to stop the firehose of kremlin/beijing propaganda cluttering up my feed and that made my lemmy experience worlds better. There’s only so many times you can read “special military operation” used unironically…
The Y9 in question here though is slow, fat, and low - max speed of 360kn and a service ceiling of 10,000m. It’s a cargo plane with EW stuff on it.
Sorry, all of the linux stuff is just specific to my own preferences/environment - if you’re more familiar with windows it would be best to just use that for testing. Presumably it will come with windows installed?
If so, put some programs on a normal usb storage device and then install/run them from there.
As for the rest:
When you first turn the laptop on, at the red Lenovo splash screen, press Enter repeatedly to get into the boot menu. Once there, it’ll give you a list of options with associated keys to access them - go to “BIOS Setup - F10” (or something similar, not sure of the specifics on the X1C 6th gen). If it prompts you for a password to enter that, it’s locked.
To test all the ports, plug your usb stick with the apps on it into each of the usb ports and make sure it shows up in explorer; try the same with an sd card if you have one; plug in to a wired ethernet connection and make sure you have internet access through it (disable wifi at the same time to make sure); plug headphones into the jack and make sure they work; plug into an hdmi display if you have one.
To check battery health, run Command Prompt with administrator privileges, then run powercfg /batteryreport to generate a battery health report
Good luck!
Personally I’d do the following:
nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0 and check the “percentage_used” value: if it’s near 100% it might die and need replacement soonstress -c 7 to load up 7 of the 8 available cpu threads, make sure the fan spins up good and strong, and watch /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp to make sure the cpu temperature stays under ~90-95 degreesOn my own time later, I’d run memtest86+ overnight from bootable usb to check the memory, then install tlp and run tlp recalibrate with the laptop on the charger to recalibrate the batteries
Edit: enjoy the new laptop! I hope it works great for you
