No, this is not normal, clearly we have a mystery on our hands...

Almost forgot!

Adding this:

Which one is that?

Is it usable only with free software?

Wow... as of today that thread still hasn't been taken down.

@jwmkit what about cpu resources for jwmkit on daedalus vs chimaera

Memory usage doesn't have much effect of any kind imo unless it is extremely significant

For me, I would think cpu usage is probably more of a drain, on battery life more than memory usage anyhow and display more than both.

Seems I had to enable-edit-actions by changing 0 to 1

then go to here:

http://config.privoxy.org/show-status

And edit user.actions

More info here as to what I mean

https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/support-requests/1754/

I wasn't completely clear on how to edit before of course though, but yeah.

To both of you anyone else who will reply, in simple words, I just want to know exactly what I need to change in the config user.action in order to turn on medium mode.

Standard mode is just too weak, for my taste.

Although, their documentation doesn't give me an answer as to how to modify for that.

To be honest, neither the current pattern nor AI would be much better as leaders.

Too far to any direction, left ot right, leads to dictatorship once people get fed up and someone shows up to deceive them knowing they are so fed up, that they will be easy to trick.

This is how so many dictators including how Hitler got into power.

That being said, I am more concerned about the right wing right now.

Adopting a bunch of bernie sanders plans would actually move things to the middle at this point.

I have said this before, but its still something I think is true.

I don't care what the rich want or their supporters.

Ruffle their feathers till they choke on their own fumes if that's what it takes to shut them down. Let them get angry, maybe if real hope exists, they will give up or if needed, their anger will make them expire. I would prefer them to repent or at least give up, but greed is a deadly thing. Arrogance leads to every problem including that.

Btw, fun fact, I detest the ideals of liars and manipulators.

@brday Sorry, I wasn't available prior, my bad.

Seems jwmkit answered your question?

@jwmkit Thank you for doing so.

@both Sometimes I don't remember or have time at the moment...

Btw,  is daedalus up to snuff yet, its based on a testing version after all, or is it just too daed!

This is true, but having a backup isn't a bad idea just in case. 

@steve its not as slow as you think if you connect to a port with usb 3.0+ and are using SSD or better.

Btw,  it is actually possible to disk clone from SSD to qcow2 image on a usb storage drive like onto this:

/media/sdb/files

Not even on just doing /dev/sdb directly, but putting it in the partition itself as a qcow2.

I love that this is possible as a final edit!

@erdos Glad it helped, I do this a lot, because I use a testing version of Hyperbola. I have done this with Devuan as well though.

Btw, I actually suggested you copy them to a usb drive just to be safe. If I thought copying to a different partition within it, I would have suggested it. I didn't because that might cause a can of worms.

Glad you listened to that part and yeah, steve is correct, reversing it was what I was suggesting.

Although, as steve also mentioned, if you wanted to restore files,  a better option would have been available.

Funny thing, btw I use partimage afterwards! @GlennW mentioned partimage so I thought I would respond.

I actually have had to resize my installs from time to time when I do something foolish, so I usually end up doing the following:

I have a Hyperbola install that is light, like less than 150GB, with the stuff I want more or less.

Then I copy to /dev/sda, in emergencies and IF I know the image is RIGHT one.

Then I load a devuan persistent install via portable ssd and then finally I do what is needed to reclaim space via cfdisk /dev/sda

Then finally, once I have done the other steps to get it running properly, which I forget due to it being on a different laptop.

I'll modify this post later, but once its been added to the point where I can use lvm to add it to the partitions, at that point, I load the normal OS and do the last step via lvmextend.

If this sounds like a huge massive amount of work, it is.

You will have less steps probably due using Devuan and not Hyperbola.

That being said, I like DIY distros like Hyperbola.

Its not like Arch which breaks a lot but it also is still DIY.

Anywho, glad to be useful for once.

If you ever are concerned about losing your files very badly, that command you used will be a good fallback.

As long as you keep it both safe and on usbs that aren't likely to fail.

Rant over...
