  • Meinem Verständnis nach: ja. Ist dasselbe Prinzip wie bei Hausordnungen.

    Wenn du ein Kino, Freibad, Hotel, Krankenhaus, etc betrittst stimmst du implizit den dort herrschenden Regeln zu. Du kannst nachfragen und wieder gehen, wenn die Hausregeln dir nicht passen. Insbesondere aber wenn du sogar explizit um Zustimmung geboten wurdest (hier durch einen Cookie Banner) kannst du aber nicht einfach die Zustimmung oder Ablehnung hinauszögern und dann trotzdem den Dienst weiter nutzen.

    Ich lass mich übrigens gerne von einem Rechts-Profi belehren 😛.




  • Ich bin totaler Außenseiter was das angeht, aber ich frage mich gerade: wenn ein Modul komplett frei steht und man den Platz hat würde sich eine Vorrichtung lohnen, die den Neigungswinkel automatisch anpasst? Gibt es so etwas? Also praktisch ein kleiner Elektromotor der an einen online Wetterdienst angebunden ist und je nach Standort und lokalen Bedingungen stets nachjustiert? Oder verbraucht man da mehr Energie/Geld als man reinsteckt?




  • It should be offered as an option really.

    One caveat is that you need to think ahead about how much space you want to assign to each partition. You could end up with your /home/ partition being full while the system partition still has plenty. Or vice versa. You can manually readjust the boundaries but it requires some understanding and can’t be done on the fly by a non-technical user. By contrast if everything’s stored on the same partition you never have to worry about this.

    You can, by the way, manually recreate this set up even after the initial set up although it will require lots of free space to shuffle around files (or some external storage to temporarily hold them). Basically what you do is create a new empty partition, copy all your /home/stuff there and then configure your system to always mount that partition as the /home/ directory when it boots. Files are just files after all and the operating system doesn’t really care where they come from as long as the content is correct. Once you got it working you can delete the originals and free up the space to be used otherwise.


  • Typically your personal files and app settings are stored somewhere in your user home folder, eg under /home/bob/. Ideally you’ve set up your system in a way so that the entire /home/ folder is stored on its own disk or partition at least. That let’s you boot up a different distro while using the same home directory. But even if you haven’t set it up separately from the rest of the system, you can still manually copy all those files.

    Not every single application setting is transferable between distros as they sometimes use different versions but generally it works well. Many apps also let you manually export profiles or settings and reimport them elsewhere later. Or they have online synchronization baked in.



  • I can wholeheartedly vouch for lichess.org. Not only because of their privacy policy but for what they offer in terms of chess. Besides the standard game you get an analysis engine that points out good moves, how likely a player is to win, let’s you switch sides, etc.

    But my favorite thing is actually the different chess variants you can play. There’s one where you are facing a legion of pawns, another where captured pieces explode and take down adjacent pieces and another where you get to replace captured pieces on the board. But my go to is simply chess with randomized but symmetrical positions in the backline (pawns stay the same). This makes every game unique and challenging; you actually need to think about your best moves from turn 1 instead of memorizing openings which is perhaps my biggest gripe with default chess.

    Give it a try, I say 😉.
