This sounds like Windows

So I finally did it. Results?

First was unable to shrink in windows due to a bunch of reasons, but I overcame them: hibernation file, page®file, and other bullcrap.

Finally, I could shrink. Then, a fatal error in the shrinking process. I ignored it. Waited few minutes and the disk seemed to have shrunk after all. Weird.

Then proceeded as planned. GParted the rest. All is working fine now!

Moral of the story? None.

I’m not sure whether this is equivalent, but the free space was on the left of the root partition, so I first moved the root partition to the left of the free space, then extended it to the right. It probably took twice as long. And maybe the risk is the same, I’ve no idea

But is that still recommended on an ssd? Defragging for higher success of shrinking an active partition?

weirdly enough I feel the same. Maybe those were the WinXP times

I thought so too, but apparently you can. I saw people on youtube do it on their active C partition

depends heavily on amount of data and cpu speed. I wouldn’t wanna interrupt though

I see, thanks. I’d love to use Win in a VM but I doubt it’s as flawless as on metal. For example, would WebSerial API work as well? Idk, maybe.

I guess then I’m one of the lucky few humans that can withstand the melancholic side-effect of wanting to explore the nugatory nature of morality, and simplicity and hypocrisy of human endeavour. Neat, huh?

For the record, I do also have a positive take on life in case you didn’t notice. But taking on the said proposition [Empathy and altruism are solely egoistic traits aimed at maintaining one’s own emotional equilibrium and well-being], is only what makes life more interesting. I am not sure whether your reaction to this was meant sarcastically or not.

I usually have my pirate (bittorrent) sites unlocked by custom DNS redirects in the hosts file on my linux machines. Don’t know how tech-savvy you are, but wish you best of luck finding. It’s nice

you wouldn’t wish someone well if you didn’t think they were having an experience they themselves would describe as emotionally negative. That’s the reason why you said those blanks, right? We’re talking about the motivation that brought you here, which you hadn’t mentioned. Empathy and altruism are solely egoistic traits aimed at maintaining one’s own emotional equilibrium and well-being. That’s true, right? Objectively speaking? Subjectivity is meaningless, viewed objectively. Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everyone’s gonna die. So who’s the cynical one? I’m gonna watch tengoku daimakyou now.

backpedaling are we? These “blanks” could either refer to having an emotional difficult time, or you pitying me by being different than you and viewing life through another lens. Not much else. Is that worth commenting on and in such manner?

That or you just wanted to sound pretentiously preachy. I hope you’re having a good day “smiley face”

It’s never getting “better” only perhaps “less worse”. There are no plans to reverse the climate change. Not yet …

It’s even sadder that you a priori assume someone is having an emotionally difficult time just because they joke around.

You’re being sarcastic aren’t you

There should be a “no stupid question what is this thing” community

Uncool, but why?

I yanked a connector that I wanted to remove. I don’t have needle thin nippers/pincers, and when I held my iron against the pads nothing happened. Am I missing something?

I guess a good set of nippers, but idk man…

What is the system32 equivalent in linux

Asking the real question here. I hope there is a one way solution per application. But I doubt it. I hope you don’t get the usual answer that it’s “absolutely necessary” for security.
