@TheTechScribe I'm glad you're having no issues, but I've never had to reinstall #Fedora since... err... when was Fedora 1 released? 🤔

And so, Yasako's friend Fumie tries to nickname her "Isako" = brave girl.

#anime #japanese #dennoucoil

Yūko Amasawa is spelled 勇子, using the character for 勇ましい (isamashii) = bravery, courage.

Yūko Okonogi's name is spelled 優子, with the same kanji of 優しい (yasashii) = kind or gentle.

Her nickname uses this alternate reading of 優, turning Yūko in to Yasako.

Both the lead characters in Dennō Coil are named Yūko (ゆうこ), but their names are spelled with different kanji.

@benoit Laptops have always been trickier than desktops due to power management, suspend, battery charging, lid switches, fan control...

@benoit I rarely dd entire hard drives. Even when they're the same size, they have slightly different layout... and rsync is faster when the disk is half empty...

@benoit Is this a desktop or a laptop? Anyway, good luck!

@srevinsaju @kenshirriff The 8086 has huge historical importance.

If you're interested in the evolution of microprocessors, maybe start from classic 8-bit architectures such as the Z80 and the 6502, then 8086 and 68k (16/32-bit CISC), then ARM and RISCV (contemporary, 32/64-bit RISC).

@srevinsaju @jxself It's possible if you can find workers willing to dig a trench while a river of lava is approaching from above, the ground is exhaling asphyxiating gasses, and the crater could explode any time, ejecting molten rocks and ashes that will rain over the entire island.

What are some good habits to keep your Arch clean?

Good thread to read also if you use a distro other than #ArchLinux.

The best advice in this thread is avoiding `sudo pip` and other tools that will write files to system paths, bypassing the package manager.
