So I downloaded slackware on dozens of disks.

This is no joke. When I downloaded Slackware in '95 or '96, it was over 100 3.5" floppies of 1.44 MB each. And there were still more available, those were just the ones I thought I'd need. And before you could even begin installing, each of those had to be downloaded, written and verified because floppies were not terribly reliable.

FWIW, it's working with FF 123 on Kubuntu as well.

For me, it was taking vitamin B12 injections. Seriously.

If you have gut problems, chances are you have vitamin B12 deficiency and depression is a symptom of that. Why you have to figure that out for yourself after you get diagnosed is beyond me.

But more importantly, e-bikes are supposed to have a speed limiter set to 25km/h anyway.

It's maddening. The power of propaganda is truly impressive.

And then a DBA comes in

I'm convinced that's a mythical being. In my 20+ years of experience I've never encountered one.

Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?

After running low on storage space on Windows 10 I have considered upgrading to a larger drive, 2-4 TiB. With my switch to Linux I’d like to know if there is an easy way to take all my files from my previous drive into the new one with all the correct paths configured, without reinstalling Linux?

I can see this meaning a number of different things:

  1. you want to move your home directory to a separate partition: You can just create a new partition and move your stuff there. People have suggested rsync, and that's fine. Personally, I'd use mc (midnight commander) for that because it's easier.

  2. you want to know how to transfer your future home partition to a future bigger drive: You could do as above, or you could use clonezilla for that.

  3. you want to transfer files from your old Windows setup to your new Linux system: You can just mount an NTFS partition and do as described under point 1. I'd be wary to write to an NTFS partition, but reading from it works just fine.

Hmm, I'm fewer sure of that.

A reboot will make whatever processes that are still using those deleted files let go of them. Maybe that solves your problem. If not, ncdu will help you find large files and directories.

It's the sum total. SSD's would have become the success they are today if it were localized.

Can confirm, have a cat and don't have that issue. Because I lock the screen when leaving the machine unattended.
