    • Fedilab Apps

    @apps
    Took it out for a very quick spin this morning and other than the startup, it works fine. The startup is a bit too long, but I suspect that is just the shared relay.

    I have followed you and myself but couldn't find any tags yet. Will try again later

    @apps
    Very cool looking app... I have to ask though, are you planning to replace Fedilab with Holos?

    Can't answer your question directly, but when you register with, US based and Australian based anyway, registrars, you have the ability to name three different people/roles. Each has different authority, but this should cover what you are trying to do

    Damn, would have taken me a long time to even think of LAG as the culprit... Nice catch

    Most Americans have credit and debit cards, so going electronic is less of an issue for them than you might realize. Having said that, yes there is a segment of society that eschews banks and instead waste their money with check cashing services... Those are the people who are being targeted with this BS proposal.

    I have been putting it at the bottom since the mid-'80s at least when I used SUN's version of CDE. When I first saw Gnome (and Unity) with the bar at the top it just felt wrong to me.

    While I agree with you, you need to understand who *they* are. For the most part *they* are the remnants of the people who lost the revolutionary war and to *them* you are unamerican. They believe in landed gentry, in slavery, in male dominance, etc. To *them*, you are betraying God's law and for your resistance to Chump, you are violating *their* belief in his divinity.

    In my state they have a state funded website where you can anonymously check your registration status for free. So I tend to check my status a couple times a year.

    @susankayequinn
    Before people say something about active duty military people getting a second and job or other such bullshit, please note that most military service members are precluded, by their duty schedules, from getting a second job. Additionally, because of their deployment and transfer schedules it is generally hard for their spouses to get / maintain second jobs as well.

    @hellomiakoda
    Okay, I can see 16GB being an issue. Might I suggest looking at Openbox for your DE, specifically with some of the Raspbian modifications. Another option, and I forgot the name of the DE, but Tony Linux and Spyder Linux are both mini distributions that have a really small and extremely lightweight DE.

    Might I ask what you are trying to install that is using that much space? I don't do games on Linux and so far the only thing I have installed that uses that much is the Unreal editor and when I built a Proxmox laptop prototype.

    Can't really imagine how small it has to be... I used to run Linux with X and a browser on 8M RAM with 320M disk... And even modern versions of Linux can be run on 1G RAM with 20G disks.

    @jeffowski
    You have obviously never had the displeasure of using a HP laptop.

    I would suggest booting a rescue/live system and run some diagnostics on the root disk... My gut feeling is that you you just need to repair the partition table. I say that because you are getting far enough to prove that your disk is good, but not able to find the root partition

    @hellomiakoda
    Not sure if that is the issue, but when you log into the box, you get a shell, and if the shebang is broken or missing, your existing shell will be used. Cron doesn't have a shell, it would not be able to run the script.

    You are showing a space between the ! and / IIRC that is breaks it

    @hellomiakoda
    Just in case you are unaware of the shebang line, I use env to call the first bash entry in the path, which is usually /bin/bash, but not always.

    @hellomiakoda
    A simple test would be something like the following in /etc/cron.hourly;
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    /usr/bin/env logger "running: $@"

    Then check, /etc/crontab to see what time cron.hourly runs and watch your system log around that time

    @hellomiakoda
    1. What is the shebang for your scripts. I ask because many versions of cron default on restrictive paths and may not find your executor if you don't fully qualify the filename
    2. I often use "/use/bin/env logger 'Made it to stage: X'" where X is a step number. That will get written to your system log or journal

    It is from the Airplane series... Someone will ask a simple question and the answer is similar to yours followed by "but that is beside the point" or "but that is not important right now"
