Is it - at all - possible to install Debian on btrfs subvolumes? I've installed Debian stable so far on both of my auxiliary machines with 500MB /boot in btrfs which I won't t...

Anyway, I've got a bit of an odd question.. my cleaning lady has been asking me to buy a vacuum cleaner for a while now (which I don't really want to, brooms work just fine) b...

Actually the same applies to electronics (ooh I could go on about this all day XD) I mean, making electronics more difficult to repair with security fasteners and ultrasonical...

I just found out who this spam caller was btw. It was a cop that I still have to file a testimony with. Now that's all fine and dandy of course but 2 things that grind my gear...

Another question.. how the fuck do I make iotop list the actual processes that are trashing my disks? Yes I've DDG'd these things, and all of the tutorials point out how to in...

One of my local servers was rebooted last Monday afternoon, and I suspect my cleaning lady to have done so (got a bit heated towards her for asking to change the oven clock fo...

Basically I'm worried about abstraction.. wherever needed, but only syntactically or in the whole configuration language? There's a need for standardization but I wouldn't wan...
