I often get asked about what brand I recommend for a new workstation or laptop. My usual answer was “something like a Tuxedo or Framework” until I bought a used T480 for my son. It would still meet most of my mobile needs. Now, I recommend buying a refurbished computer. Reusing is superior to buying even the most sustainable and repairable new machine. Less cost and no additional resources used (maybe a new battery). Be honest, how often does your work require a cutting-edge machine?

@cadusilva First, you resize the LVM partition (with `gparted`, for example), then you use `pvresize` to assign the new capacity to LVM. That should do it.
I might end up trying this on a VM on my live stream later.

@cadusilva AFAICS, LVM should pretty much take care of that automatically. It'll see that there is double the physical extent capacity and will just go on using them when creating new logical volumes.

@evan @jaredwhite That's good to hear.
That being said, I find it confusing when someone posts about a personal initiative on their org's website. -

@RadicalEdward @pluralistic You had me at "No DRM". I backed all three ebooks and audio books. WilW is just the icing on the cake.

"Whenever you put in a feature before you really need it, you are guilty of programming while stupid; if you wait until you really need the thing, you are likely to have a better understanding of what you need to do and how you should go about doing it." (Russ Olsen, Design Patterns in Ruby)

"Writing tests first forces a modicum of reusability to be built into an object from its inception; it would otherwise be impossible to write tests at all. Therefore, novice designers are best served by writing test-first code." (Sandi Metz, "Practical Object-Oriented Design")

@pfefferle Das ist einfach zu lösen, denn man muss einem (standardkonformen) Cache nur mitteilen, dass dieselbe URL verschiedene Inhalte ausliefert, je nachdem, welches Format angefordert wird. Dafür ist der `Vary`-Header zuständig, weshalb meine Lösung in der `.htaccess` so aussieht:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header merge Vary "Accept"
</IfModule>That's it!
