It depends on how your mounts are setup, but df might get you closer to what you need.

edit: This command shows the usage of mounted partitions. If your setup is on its own mount, that will probably get you the you need. If nor, you might need to do some deductive work.

There’s a parable about a mechanic with a hammer (here described as an old man with a hammer):

It seems applicable.

I don’t know anything about this game, but I’m tired of that one guy spamming it in the comments of RCE videos. The description makes it sound pretty cool despite that.

I’ve been in various forms of coding and administration for around fifteen years now. Despite trying lots of editors, I have yet to find a reason to use anything but vim.

I do like obsidian for note taking.

edit: Removed typo.

Obviously it won’t work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:

She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they’ve usually maintained the desired temperature.

I prefer DDG to either as well, but in terms of search quality … Don’t they use Bing search results?

Years and years ago, I was waiting in the lobby of a dealership while they did something to my car. (It was a complex situation. I wouldn’t normally go to a dealership for anything if I could avoid it.) This was before cell phones were, like, decent, so for entertainment I was watching the lobby TV. They had on some trivia / jeopardy show, no idea which one.

One of the questions in the show was “what industry lies to their family the most about what they do?” Jokingly, I muttered to myself (paraphrased) “probably help desk / IT support.” The answer was “IT support.” I had to fight to hold in my laughter.

Bonus fact: At the time, I worked at a help desk as a temp. While I was waiting for my car, the recruiter who employed me called me to ask me to convince another prospective employee that the recruiter was on the level and that the job was worthwhile. I couldn’t think of a single positive thing to say on the call. (I’m still in IT but no longer help desk and I’m much happier.)

My pleasure, happy I could spread the joy!

Happy to share the ones I remember offhand, see above in the thread.

Sure, but I’m not sure I remember many offhand and some have become popular since then so you may have already read them.

Two that come to mind:

• They’re Made Out of Meat by Terry Bison
• When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth by Cory Doctorow

edit: another one that came to mind, though my wife didn’t introduce me to this one, was ~~All You Zombies~~ by Robert Heinlein. I think that one has a movie adaptation called … Predestination maybe?

One my wife did recommend to me, though I found it less impactful than she did, was [https://ia801904.us.archive.org/35/items/the-jaunt-stephen-king/The Jaunt - Stephen King.pdf](The Jaunt) by Stephen King.

Also, though I don’t recall if I ever ended up reading it, she really liked All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury.

edit 2: Not sure why the Stephen King link isn’t working. The % maybe?

edit 3: Replaced all instances of %20 with a space. Link still didn’t work on my client. If it doesn’t work on yours, I’m afraid you’ll have to search for the story or manually copy the URL… Sorry.

You remind me of my wife.

When we met, she introduced me to lots of short stories that made me reconsider my perspective on things. This was one of them. She still makes me reconsider my convictions whether I want to or not. I sure do love her for that.

I secondarily thought of Vacation Goo.

But I have to be honest … The Matrix is the first thing I thought of when reading the original comment.

Well, that’s easy.

Just wipe it away with toilet paper.

To be fair, your ass can likely heal micro scratches and your toilet seat probably cannot.

That’s the saddest news I’ve ever received.

… People don’t say “w00t”?

While I don’t disagree with anything you said, I think this comment descended into nihilism with alarming rapidity and I hope you’re okay.

When I was but a lad, I learned the phrase “raising skinny elephants is utterly boring.” At my first job where I had a messenger (and thus could set a status message), I set this to display.

I was chastised because the leadership didn’t know what it meant, but thought it might be offensive. I don’t know whom they thought I might offend; one of the many skinny elephants on the team?

I was too nervous to set it again for several subsequent jobs, but eventually I got in a pretty technical one and displayed the message there. Not only did no one express offense, but I actually taught it to someone who put it to use when a mission critical server died.

No worries about the WoT, I’ve often been there myself.

Thank you for the clarification. As I said, I didn’t see and don’t plan to watch the video, so I didn’t know the details. I don’t know what it would take for Linux to be widely adopted or whether it could be considered “ready” but I wish it would.
