  • I haven’t used nextcloud, but having /var on an actual disk might help, if nextcloud writes to it often. Even if it doesn’t, it might still help a bit as a lot of software does, so it will still reduce the writes to the SD card.

    You don’t actually need much on your root partition. Only /etc, /bin, /lib & if it’s separate, /sbin. Most distributions (inc. recent Debians, not sure which version rpi os uses) have symlinked /bin, /sbin & /lib with their /usr counterparts. This means that the binaries & libraries actually reside under /usr, so it has to be on the root partition, but /usr/local should be safe to move.

    This means that you can put all the absolutely required directories on the SD card and everything else on a real drive.












  • I agree, and it could work like that here. (your driver’s license is only valid for a certain time) But as far as I know, you only need to retake the tests when applying for renewal if your license expired multiple years ago. Otherwise, you only have to fill out some forms.

    At least old people & those who’ve had their license taken away need to redo their tests, which is better than nothing, but not enough in my opinion.


  • It’s not reasonable to assume that everyone has that much control in any situation. Removing yourself from a situation is not always possible. What can you do if it’s caused by your environment, like family, school, etc.?

    Life does have challenges & there always exists someone who can be miserable in a given situation. That doesn’t mean that everything should be normal.

    You can definitely affect some things & you might be able to choose how you see some other things. Still, some things are outside your control or “as they should be”.






  • It might be pretty difficult to implement the work part of proof of work without JS in a practical way. Of the three languages available on the web, HTML, CSS & JS (+ WebAssembly, which requires a bit of JS IIRC & would probably not be available) JS is the only one that allows you to perform the work in a sane way. (It might be possible to use CSS magic with remote resources, but that has its own problems if it’s even possible.)

    It would be possible to use a dedicated program or another website to perform the work, but it would be far from seamless to users.
