Questions about Linux-Linux dualboot
  • The typical distro's installer will just take care of setting up GRUB for you, don't worry about that. I'm doing something similar with my home partition, except I made a home partition with all the expected user folders ~/Videos ~/Documents ~/Music ~/Games etc and then used overlayFS which keeps ~/.config/ and the like separate for each OS partition while letting me share everything else.

  • I finally installed Linux, but I'm having a mixed experience
  • Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still function?

    Yes, easily done.
    Open KDE partition manager
    Create your new partition in whatever filesystem you like. NTFS can be problematic.
    Now copy the contents of /home to the new partition.
    Once it's transferred you can delete the contents of /home, or it will interfere with mounting from the new partition.
    Now open KDE partition manager again to set the mountpoint of that partition to /home and check "automatically mount on boot"

    You can easily repeat this process to move everything to your new new drive later.

    In future if you install linux again, you can do this in the installer by simply telling it to mount X partition as Y mountpoint, even saving all your user files across installs!

  • Questions from a "lib"
  • Liberalism is capitalist realism, and anti-communist. It's anti-democracy as well, so long as you define democracy as doing what the people want (That's clearly an impossible way to ride a bike!). Capitalism/liberalism calls itself democracy, but is really just profit seeking. Sometimes the highest expected profits come from doing what people want, just as often it comes from creating toll booths between people and readily available resources so you can extract a profit (enclosure).

  • Questions from a "lib"
  • I know I wouldn't trust my government or politicians to do anything but enrich themselves at my expense, but I don't have to; my rights are guaranteed by our constitution.

    @OP RE: Idealism Do you really think a piece of paper protects you or anyone? Sure there's nominally some "belief in the rule of law" but all it takes is some "creative" interpretation of a document which was written by slave owners who left several intentional loopholes to get around that. The only thing materially restraining the state/capitalism from further trampling your so called rights is fear of reprisal by you. The constitution is one concession by the state, a pinky promise to generally not do these particular things insofar as you promise to be a good worker and not stir the pot too much. Did the constitution give women the right to vote? No. Did the constitution end slavery, and give reparations to those slaves? Nope. Will the constitution step in to stop the profiteering and uniquely evil US healthcare system that has killed and disabled members of my own family? Never.
    So what does the constitution "do" in reality? Because from my perspective it might as well be joseph smith's golden tablets, which republicans occasionally use to scold democrats for not being American (tm) enough.

  • Grover Furr's RateMyProfessors.com reviews
  • I had a history prof go on a class long tangent about how communists were evil because Marx said religion is the opiate of the masses. I, being a cringe atheist at the time thought "damn that's cool af, this Marx guy is spitting" and I think that was the general consensus of the class.

    Geography professor however started day one with a lecture on why Mercator, and most other map projections are racist, and told us that he wasn't listening to any complaints about saying that from anyone white.

  • We just don't know how to end this genocide, it's too complicated
  • I know it doesn't count for anything and it's been said a million times before, but holy fuck us "tankies" (which is to say, anyone left of a moderate democrat) have been crowing about Israel for literal decades, being told we're just antisemitic (including myself, a Jew) and what do you know we were right again. Just like how we have been right about everything that happened in the last few decades with the notable exception of the Russia/Ukraine attack. Are liberals going to take a second look at the framework we used to come to our conclusions? No. Are we going to be taken a smidge more seriously now maybe? Absolutely not, lets get a Harvard-grad ghoul on instead.

  • I've invented an incredibly smug and online new way to post. We can call it preposting, or maybe even THE BEAR TRAP RAAAWGR

    Example:

    Based individual: Supporting LGBTQIA+ rights is good and sexy. Cringe loser: Too many letter tho 😏😏😏 Based individual: Click the period you predictable loser lmao Cringe loser: I am very owned and now must log off until I learn to not be cringe

    A slightly quicker more hands off alternative to mushroom risotto, that I call ris-OAT-o (pressure cooker) (vegan)

    Serves 4

    You will need:

    • Pound of sliced mushrooms
    • Vegan chicken broth cubes
    • 3 stalks celery, chopped fine (save the greens, there's good flavor in them!) (I like a lot of celery, feel free to adjust)
    • 2 carrots, rough chopped
    • 1-2 yellow onions, finely minced
    • 5-6 cloves (36g) garlic, minced (you can use the jarred stuff too!)
    • 2 tsp course black pepper
    • 2 cups (320g) steel cut oats
    • 1.5 liters (~6 cups) water
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • Automatic or manual pressure cooker (very easy to find at your local thrift store!)

    Optional:

    • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
    • Substitute 1 cup water for white wine

    Put a splash of water and your sliced mushrooms in the bottom of your pressure cooker on/over high heat. The mushrooms will quickly release their water. When the water has boiled away, add olive oil and onions, saute until onions start to go clear. Add garlic, celery, carrots, and black pepper. Saute for two more minutes or so.

    Now add your celery greens, water (and wine), salt, broth cubes, oats. Put the lid on the pressure cooker, set timer for/dial in 8 minutes. When 8 minutes are up you can turn off the heat and walk away for 30 minutes or until ready to serve. Nutritional yeast goes in last. Fish out the celery tops before serving.

    The texture is remarkably similar to risotto, but some people understandably have difficulty with oats in a savory context. Has more fiber and lower glycemic index (slower carbs) than standard risotto. I consider this my own invention, even though I'm certainly not the first to do it.

    ATTENTION USERS OF NON-HEXBEAR INSTANCES: WE ARE NOT TO BE CALLED "HEXBEARS" OR "HEXBEAR USERS"

    It's dehumanizing, un-creative, and decidedly unfancy. Henceforth you will refer to us as HEXSIR, HEXMADAM, and HEXCETERA (for our NB comrades)

    Thank you, A concerned HEXSIR 🧐

    ♫ I need a tofu! ♫

    I'm holding on for a to-fu 'til the end of the night~

    Not some bland soybean curd. One made with spices and herbs, and it must be firm to the bite!
