zypper remove --clean-deps removes automatically installed requirements when removing a package. zypper packages --unneeded will show a list of packages no longer required.

Setting solver.onlyRequires to true in /etc/zypp.conf does not install recommends - it’s way less of a problem than on Debian/Ubuntu due to not recommending half the world, but still useful. Setting solver.cleandepsOnRemove will automatically remove automatically installed deps when removing a package (i.e., like always specifying --clean-deps).

Just get a drive from any old notebook of the last 15 years or so someone wants to throw out, and buy a USB to SATA slim cable.

I expect the responsible person listed for some specific application to react to an email about it to fix it, and not send me police. Why would I want to jump through hoops for doing them a favour?

Same applies also if there’s no easy way to send a mail to someone responsible.

Depends on how the parties behaved in the past. There are a bunch of government entities which called police on me in the past when trying to work with them about discovered issues and as result also will just get anonymous 0-day drops in public forums for future issues.

Each disk needs at least one partition, but it can contains multiple partitions.

The boot disk needs to contain at least one partition (because of the way booting works), for the rest they’re optional.

That’d break git repos where files with the same name, but different case exist.

He stated “100GB only” in reply to my comment that I have a 400GB picture library - all own creation, completely unrelated to anything internet.

See other comments from OP where he’s stating that it’d be 100GB total, and anything else would be confiscated if found out.

I disagree there - I think it makes the question pointless as that changes the actual question to “what is the single computing device I decide to keep, after downgrading its storage”. Which in many cases will not even be possible.

100GB is ridiculously low nowadays. I don’t think I have a single device in regular use (including my phone) with such small storage.

Just my picture archive (that is, pictures I took since I got mit first digital camera) is about 400GB.

That was a reason back then to pay for a distribution box - it came with a very good printed manual. Which had beginner friendly sections like “now that you have a running system let’s configure and build a kernel matching your hardware”.

You can drop that as far as clause.

Long time ago I got a small screw driver from a D-Link employee with the comment that this is the only non shit item with D-Link branding.

How do you do an ultrasound on a cat with just two people? Last time my cat had one 5 people were holding her, and she almost got away.

Because we’re glad it is finally over after having deal with your election bullshit for the last half year? We made contingency plans for a trump win, so we acknowledged his win this morning, hope the planning is sufficient, and finally move on to something else.

Oh, didn’t know those exist.

If you can afford it see if Eaton has a smaller tower UPS suitable for you.

Have been using it since late 90s, stopped using it with the shutdown of SixXs as there still were no viable native options in pretty all my infra locations. Recently started using it again as I finally have an ISP providing proper v6.

The main thing rubbing me wrong is forcing to support the parents - parents decide to have a child, so they do owe the child support during its live. The child didn’t have a choice in this, and therefore owes the parents nothing. Now if the parents were decent people there’s a high chance the kids want to help out because of that - and that’s a perfectly good thing to do. But there should not be a forced obligation by society.
