Here is another possible solution, one which allows you to manually set how much storage you want without any WiFi: [03:03] schestowitz__ Get into crosh(ctrl - alt - t), then into your shell by typing shell [03:03] schestowitz__ Type sudo fdisk -l - this lists your different partitions. Find the partition which you set aside for Gallium; it will be labeled as "ChromeOS root fs". Make sure the size matches up to the amount you gave Gallium! [03:03] schestowitz__ Type sudo fdisk /(wherever your partitions are stored) - my partitions were in /dev/sda/, though I believe this changes according to the different type of Chromebook you use. [03:03] schestowitz__ Type d. The system will ask you which partition you want to delete. Usually, Gallium is installed on partition 7, but that could also vary on different Chromebooks. [03:03] schestowitz__ Type d again. This time, delete where all of your files are. This is labeled as Microsoft basic data, and the file size will match up to the amount Chrome OS says you have (in the Files app). [03:03] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-unix.stackexchange.com | ubuntu - How do I remove the chrx partition on a chromebook running crouton? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange [03:03] schestowitz__ Type n. This time, you're going to recreate the Files partition you deleted. Unless you have a preference as to which sectors the Files app should take up, I just used the default sectors. [03:03] schestowitz__ Type t. This time, you need to rename the Files partition to what it was before because it automatically is named Linux Partition. Type "L" to list all the different types of partitions, and type in the number next to Microsoft basic data. [03:03] schestowitz__ Finally, type w, and reboot the system. This officially commits all of your changes. [03:03] schestowitz__ Chrome OS, at least for me, got angry that I tried to change the partitions, and told me that it was "fixing the system" for some time. However, afterwards, it worked, and I was able to restore all of my data without doing a factory reset. [03:03] schestowitz__ " ● May 08 [07:34] schestowitz__

    How to deploy Samba on Linux as an Active Directory Domain Controller

    [07:34] schestowitz__

    Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft's way of making it possible to create and apply policies to machines associated with a network. It's a tool widely used by businesses and network administrators everywhere.

    [07:34] schestowitz__

    Microsoft's solution is not the only means to make this happen; the open source Samba makes it possible to deploy an Active Directory Domain Controller. With this controller, you can then create users, and even set policies.

    [07:34] schestowitz__

    I will be writing a series of tutorials on this subject. In this first piece, we'll be deploying the Samba AD on an instance of Ubuntu Server 20.04.

    How to Set a Time Limit on Linux Commands

    The timeout command is the first choice of many Linux users to add a time restriction to their commands. Since this tool is a part of the GNU Core Utilities package, it comes preinstalled on almost every Linux distribution.

[14:29] schestowitz__ [04:22] in my case i can fart out a proxy any time i need to by clicking a button so all it has done is inconvenience me [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:25] Doug Freed is not currently staff but was able to get a kline on freenode at the same time he issued one on OFTC [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:25] so there is some relationship there i dont fully understand yet [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:25] fsf uses freenode [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:25] canonical pays freenode [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:26] but I never had bad experiences with freenode [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:26] they are usually pretty good [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:26] its the ones that are staff at OFTC that are staff at freenode that are the problem there [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:26] e.g. Tom Wesley and his pose [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:26] *posse [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:27] debian crossover and gnome foundation crossover is in every instance ive seen been the common association of every actor involved [14:32] schestowitz__ [04:28] including elana hashman and neil mcgovern [14:33] schestowitz__ [04:28] i am currently working on a project that will produce a new linux distribution not based on another [14:33] schestowitz__ [04:28] this is when the targeting really started [14:33] schestowitz__ [04:29] one of the debian people named Ikonia (Matt Darcy) started trying to blacklist our contributors [14:33] schestowitz__ [04:29] and started trying to disrupt that projects' members' relationships with other projects [14:33] schestowitz__ [04:29] the same strategy as done w/ daniel pocock [14:33] schestowitz__ who as it turns out was also targeted by molly de blanc [14:33] schestowitz__ which was profitable to her career [14:33] schestowitz__ it also helped obscure and deflect the fact that she was having an affair with chris lamb [14:33] schestowitz__ What I'm getting at here is that these all involve coordinated behaviours from people all associated with the same project [and] it consistently ties back to Debian and their sphere of influence which includes tom wesley, doug freed, and some of the other Freenode staff -- not all of them. freenode's official position will probably stay neutral while these bad actors run amok [and] most of this can be verified if you map these people [14:34] schestowitz__ on a board and look at their project associations."
