If you skipped Disco, the 70's had some great music, especially at the beginning and end of the decade. My Sharona, I want you to want me, and everything by Supertramp. Of course, the 80's were better, and the 90's were even better than that, but the 70's were no slouch when it comes to music. If you skip disco.

The rapidly growing log "files" aren't really systemd's fault. The same thing would happen if you tell rsyslog to dump *everything* in a single file and you run the same set of services with the same settings. Ok, so systemd produces a bunch of log messages itself that you would not see on an otherwise identical Devuan machine. But not of the order of ~100Mb/hour, not by default at least. The issue is with systemd's log configuration, the gory details of which you can explore by going down the rabbit hole that starts at https://manpages.debian.org/buster/systemd/journald.conf.5.en.html If you don't want the systemd-journald.service to log anything, just say Storage=none in journald.conf and be done with it. Log messages are still forwarded to a syslog socket so if you have rsyslog installed you should be good. Of course, switching to Devuan may be an easier long term solution :-) Or some other distro that let's you choose your prefered init system.

Same thing on my Libreboot T400 (refurbished Lenovo T400). Real nice to have a physical kill switch if you want to turn of WiFi in a hurry. > I'm surprised manufacturers hide this functionality in a BIOS menu. Doing so via a BIOS menu is a bit cumbersome to say the least. Perhaps the `rfkill` package can help if you don't have a physical kill switch.

Sun, 7 Feb 2021 08:37:07 -0500 - Steve Litt : > Could you please tell me the make and model of the mouse? I love > super-sensitive mice. It was (now I am on a basic Logitech mouse) a TeckNet um013 (specs: http://www.tecknet.co.uk/um013-black.html) -- not sure if it falls under the definition of "super-sensitive mice". Anyway, it was difficult to me using it: even for small movements of the mouse I had too rapid and amplified movements of the pointer. Only by using a mousepad (made of a sort of firofiber fabric) I was able to "fix" its acceleration and speed in usable way.
