If I understand the problem correctly it has a pretty simple solution that I have done before. Make a new partition on the destination and dd if=/dev/diskAsB of=/dev/diskXsY where A is the source disk and B is the source partition and X is the destination disk and Y is the destination partition. You may have to run fsck on the destination afterwards and maybe a gpt repair tool.

Honestly though, since it’s an ext filesystem, if it were me I’d just mount the source and dest and rsync.

While I don’t disagree with you, I think it’s a bit funny that you’re bringing up hardships using apt to update software in Debian when the biggest complaint about Ubuntu is having to use snap instead of apt.

Ubuntu is not terrible and if it works for you then fine. I would be surprised if Debian or Mint didn’t also work for you just as well though.

I had the same experience on my one gui Ubuntu machine. I also have several headless machines, and due to some shared libraries I always ended up with snapd installed even though none of the packages I was running were installed through snap. I always found it through the mount point pollution that snapd does.

I have a really cute video of my 3 year old daughter chasing one of those through the mall.

I used to love trying every new Ubuntu release. Then snap came along. :( After 17 years of Ubuntu (6.04-23.10), with only a few years of centos in the middle, I switched back to Debian. I see this release is still all-in with snap. Lame.

Oh man, what a throwback! I had completely forgotten about this. It made a splash and then I never heard anything more about it. One of my coworkers installed it on his Toshiba laptop and ran it for a week or two before giving up.

Seriously this. Any comment about a complicated system that starts with “just” can be ignored 99% of the time.

Also, there are 4k forks of Ventoy already. Obviously forking it isn’t helping. Actual work needs to be done.

For usb, make sure to get one with UASP https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/uasp-makes-raspberry-pi-4-disk-io-50-faster

No, thats not how it works now. You used to have to install docker-compose and run docker-compose, but now you don’t. Docker comes with compose, but you call it as docker compose rather than the old Python module based way docker-compose

I saw in your update you mentioned installing docker-compose. Modern docker has “compose” as a verb, and should work as docker compose. I haven’t tested this on raspberry pi though.

Not my last, but after using killall in Linux, I tried it on hpux, only to discover and later confirm in the man page that on hpux it doesn’t take any arguments, it just kills every process.

I don’t think so. I’m sure I would have heard something about that for work related reasons. That would be quite a problem for the kubernetes ecosystem since nginx is so widely used there as an ingress controller.

The nginx website still lists a “bsd-like license” as what the source code is released under: https://nginx.org/LICENSE

My first line of investigation here would be virtualization. It will solve the “don’t mess with my Linux install” problem and will let you use the windows apps you need at the same time as the Linux apps you normally use. Also VMs have all their other useful features like snapshots and portability.

I did this in the distant past and it was quite convenient having the VM instead of a dual boot.

Microsoft has had an impressively positive impact on Linux, including the kernel directly. It started ramping up about 15 years ago. They were the 5th highest contributor to the 3.x kernel.

I recall reading about them working on improving Linux’s MS related features, like fat32 support, samba, and things to make Linux run better in hyper-v that also helped performance overall.

Microsoft owned company migrates from third party EOL OS to Microsoft distributed OS. No surprise.

I did this when traveling internationally in 2009. I used Skype-in to forward my USA phone number to my Skype account, but I think I made like 3 phone calls. I only used WiFi at cafes and hotels, no mobile internet service. Phones are overrated. Being offline is great.

Which of his amazing books is the “single good book” you’re referring to?
