Usually yes, but i wouldn't mind a single 8TB drive just as a backup location. All my data is already on a nice redundant system at home, but having just 1 extra replica somewhere else would be really good.
I don't know the specifics of the Net6501, but can't you do a foreign debootstrap where you let debootstrap copy all files on a machine that is already installed, then boot it up on the Soekris itself and let it do the rest of its install work over the serial connection?
Yes, but then they have been made explicitly and they show up in a directory listing.
If you would make the filesystem case insensitive ls would only show a.txt, but suddenly a "virtual" A.txt a.Txt etc would also exist.
Now there are some folders on my machine that i would like to be case insensitive like ~/Downloads, never having to check if i downloaded distro.iso or Distro.iso would be nice. But i can see so many more problems with files i did not expect to exist and not showing up in my directory listing suddenly being there when i open something "else".
Yes, because the banks are not the ones who should be protecting the consumer. There are consumer protection laws in place to do the same thing the credit card companies seem to take care of from my POV :)
Just curious, what exactly are these laws? Unreversible transactions front loads the burden of verifying inauthentic sales/services onto the consumer or government, doesn't necessarily provide a mechanism for returning a consumer's money when inauthentic merchants do show up, and restricts consumer choice either through having to be more discerning than a credit card user or relying on a government program to oversee merchant authenticity.
I absolutely agree that banks should not be the ones discharged with consumer protection but unreversible payments are not nearly as beneficial for consumers even if insured in some ways by the government.
I've played with both BeOS and Haiku, and I would say Haiku is practically the same UX wise. They have built more tooling etc on Haiku, like a package manager where as far as i remember BeOS was More windows like (download file, install)
Thanks for the hint on replacing the heatsink on the x220. A quick search lead me to a reddit post claiming the heatsink from the x230 can be fitted to a x220. Is this what you did, or did you do something else entirely?
> Most recently it was throttling on a X220, fixed by swapping to a redesigned fan/heatsink.
Personally I believe the major source of heat of the X220 comes from the Sandy Bridge processor. The next-gen Ivy Bridge in X230 has almost no performance gain, but reduces heat dissipation significantly (ironically, Ivy Bridge is also the turning point when Intel started to use crappy thermal paste in the desktop CPU packaging, leading to thermal issues...).
I own both machines and the difference is great. Also, two of my X220s from different sources all suffer with random shutdown issues, I suspect the source is the cold solder joints under the power MOSFET or a defective one (saw a troubleshoot post of a similar issue in a fourm), but it's BGA, so...
Anyway, that's why I recommend everyone who wants a X220 to get a X230. You can even replace the motherboard and the bottom case to "upgrade" the X220 to X230.

I believe it's virtually identical. I never heard about the X230 heatsink performs better, perhaps it's the case, I may give it a try someday...
In the article the creator of the font said that they see it as "an echo or a simulacrum", IANAL, but i would say that that recreation is a work of its own under at least copyright law. And ignoring the legal angle for a moment, they did put a lot of work into it, so asking money for it is not wrong imho
But i remember a machine managed by another organisation entirely still whitelisting me to do sudo service invocations. Apparently i could have gotten root on that machine.
