Social Tomorrow! Kupros 1217 21st Street Sacramento, CA 95811 06:30 PM to 09:00 PM When: Tue April 16, 2024 I saw Bill Kendrick just over a week ago and he commented that most traffic on lug-nuts seems to be me posting "Is this thing working?" Perhaps those are the most interesting messages? Brian -- Brian Lavender https://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

Great to see Mark and Fred at the meeting. I wish I could give the silver bullet answer to the Tumbleweed question.

Great meeting. The initfs stuff really took me back and it was a good look at deciding what you really need. The overview of the world of video and codecs was good too. This was mostly just black magic and "because" for me before. Thanks Brian and Sen. I like the location. -Gary

cloned drive using Clonezilla
by Brian E. Lavender 19 Mar '24

Hey Everyone, I used clonezilla to clone my spinning disk drive with dual boot Windows/Fedora to an SSD. I did disk to disk and had it automatically expand to the larger drive. The steps are fairly straight forward! https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/… Brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.
