Debians,
i've been using a laptop for a fiew years now and before this laptop
dies on me I would like to buy a new laptop.
I'm thinking about two options:
- Buying something of the shelph and installing Debian on it
- Buying a pine64 or alike
- Any other alternative?
The only requirement is to

Install Debian package "zfs-dkms". I would then reboot.

You cannot do this per-directory.
You can set up a filesystem of a specific size and mount it at
that location; it will fill up and not be writa

That sounds tricky. It depends on your exact needs, and the exact "threat"
you're protecting against.
So I'm poking around with mc, and happened across /var/cache/apt/archives
which has a LOT of *.deb files in it, and which seems to include many versions
of the same package, some of them many years old, going all the way back to
2013. I guess I've been running debian a little longer than I'd

Hello,
i have copy a running systemd-nspawn container via rsync.
The container won't start in the destination:
Jan 11 15:22:55 dhanna systemd[1]: Started Container foo.
Jan 11 15:22:55 dhanna systemd-nspawn[21268]: systemd 232 running in
system mode. (+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +S
I use MATE and thus use Atril as viewer.
Typically I have no need to modify PDF documents.
I received a reading a long reading list which needs to be rotated left
to be read. Atril rotates it but does not save it as rotated.
What's the simplest tool to permanently rotate that specific document?
