  • Is there a tool to automatically check partitions for excessive log files, caches or other junk? The root partition of a Linux box I have is 60 GiB and almost full, and XFCE will fail to start when there’s no space. I would use WinDirStat on Windows but the Linux alternatives can’t do the job properly because they scan by file tree and some subdirectories of / are on other partitions because of symlinks… I guess I could boot a live USB and mount my ext4 root partition but not the NTFS storage one but I’d rather avoid that.




  • Here is a corrected transcript (mostly just added missing apostrophes). Feel free to correct the post.

    Some wise advice circulating: 
    
    1. Don't use his name. 
    2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone. 
    3. Do not argue with those who support him - it doesn't work and it makes them feel important. It makes them feel they've won something. 
    4. Focus on his policies. Do not focus on his personality traits, his physical appearance, or his mental state. 
    5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow. 
    6. No more helpless/hopeless talk. The numbers don't lie, there are more of 'us' than there are of them. Feel that support. 
    7. Support artists and the arts.
    8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Fact check it. 
    9. Take care of yourselves. 
    10. Resist! Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight! Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor." 
    11. When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration". This will have several effects: the legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of  attention he craves. His representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections.

  • The command (C:\Windows\System32\) OOBE\bypassnro (.cmd) one types into the command prompt (after opening it with Shift+F10) for the bypass is the location of a batch file they will be removing (the parenthesized parts are optional, implied by the command interpreter, and so is any capitalization). You can still do whatever it’s doing (adding a registry key and restarting) by typing the command manually or providing a copy of the file on a USB drive. After a restart, the OS will check for the registry key AND lack of internet connection to provide the local account option.

    For the record, the contents of the file are

    @echo off
    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    shutdown /r /t 0
    

    The first line is optional, and so is the third if you’re OK with restarting manually. If creating the file on Unix-based systems, make sure the newline sequence is CRLF (DOS/Windows standard).

    Obligatory shoutout to literally any Linux distro, which does not need this workaround, and is usually easier to install and set up than debloating a fresh Windows 11 install.
