Currently wiping FB timeline - prepping to nuke after I drop all contacts.

@Nurowyn Willkommen!
I think you're in the right place:
'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
'How do you know I'm mad?' said Nurowyn.
'You must be,' said the Wiccat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'

Not going to Think after all - massive cock-up on the part of my PHB and our SalesWanker. Still going to the the Laptop Hazing project, just going to take my time and real-time blog it.

Looks like company is sending me to Think 2018: https://www.ibm.com/events/think/

My project for the next week or so:
* Take "blank" ThinkPad T430
* Install current release of each of the following:
+ FreeBSD, + TrueOS,
+ Debian, + Linux Mint,
+ ArchLinux, + Manjaro,
+ Fedora-WS, + CentOS.

Objective: See which "OoTB" install:
* Is usable for secure work-remote,
* Doesn't require a week+ of 'tinkering',
* Is functional for conference use,
* Is secure enough to use [& lose],

@GeekDaddy
So - it sounds like you're trying to install non-repo .deb's and fix dependencies - and that is where gdebi comes in handy:
First get gdebi:
sudo apt-get install gdebi gdebi-core
Then for each new .deb:
sudo gdebi /path/to/filename.deb
This should then be a 1-step path to resolve and fetch dependencies as needed

@GeekDaddy For packages in the repo's "apt-get install %package%" works best. For non-repo packages you can use "dpkg -I %package% | grep Depends" to see what it's expecting - verify/download those with %package% and then install them all at the same time. The use of '-f' is (for me) an indication that something's gone wrong.

@starbreaker
So many labels, so little time.

# apt-get -t backports install little-red-book

Genetic differences in in appearance MIGHT be justification for a considering other as a separate classification of "Breed" of Human, but the nuts and bolts breaks down to ALL of us being members of the "HUMAN RACE". That's still NO EXCUSE for treating others as not human.
If you wouldn't do something to your mother, sister, aunt, father brother, uncle - then you have NO EXCUSE doing it to anyone else. Except for the fact that you're a shitty human being.

So I'm going to rant here a bit:
THERE NO SUCH THING AS "RACE" when you're talking about members of the species "Homo Sapiens Sapiens".
FUCK YOU if you disagree, you're ignorant, stupid, isolationist, and generally a shitty example of our species.
UNLESS your DNA sequence has you with a 51+% Neanderthal genome, then you are of NO DIFFERENT SPECIES than someone born in Japan, or Africa, or Northern Europe, or South America.

Dear TinyHands McPinDick:

 Failure, pathetic, sad!

Cool part? Going to prison.

Crap,
Rose Marie passed today. 😢

If you don't know her body of work - you've missed on on a seriously class act.

Yes, damnit - I'm old, and I remember.

@craigmaloney And that's why I have the illusion of job security ...

@starbreaker
Golden apples for all!
Io Ia Hay!

@starbreaker
Ah. I'm a long-time xfce user for similar reasons. Sounds like a winner to me.

@starbreaker
Curious, as a lapsed BSD user, why cwm ? The pics look cool.

Waiting on my 430 to ship, so I can start playing again.

@GeekDaddy Performance Metrics - for giggles: https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1705203-TR-LINUX412F50

@GeekDaddy Depends a lot on your use-case.

Ext4 is better if an your apps are using single read/write
threads & smaller files, while XFS kicks ass when apps use multiple read/write threads
& larger files.

In a home-computer setting - I'd go ext4, unless you're setting up a huge shared array (streaming stuff), in which case I'd say XFS
.
