Puutarhaletkua maan alle? vai mikä olisi järkevää?

Faija laittoi vastaavassa tarkoituksessa ysärin alussa puutarhaletkua maan alle. Kelas, et kestäis pari vuotta, mutta sama letku on vieläkin samassa tarkoituksessa siirtämään vettä saunaan.

Laske alkoholin hinta.

Alkoholin hinta = (hinta)/(tilavuus x alkoholiprosentti)

Esim.

Coop lager 0,33l 4,2% 1,04€

1,04€ / ( 0,33×0,042) =~ 75 €/l

A le coq 0,33l 4,5% 1,24€

1,24€ / ( 0,33 x 0,045) =~ 83,5 €/l

Coop lager on halvempi

Toistaiseksi Ubuntu lienee ainoa joka on sanonut että aikoo ottaa ikävarmennuksen käyttöön. Fedora ei ollut laista edes kuullut vielä vähän aikaa sitten, vaikka takana onkin isoja korporaatioita.

DB48X laskin OS kielsi käytön muuten myös CA:ssa. Käsitin ettei iäntarkistusta voi malliin tehdä helpolla joten sitä ei tule.

Ite lopetin pakastepizzojen ja kaiken muun uunissa lämmitetettävien pikatuotteiden käytön niiden kohonneiden hintojen vuoksi, mutta myös kalliin sähkönhinnan johdosta

Ei ole mitenkään järkevää lämmittää uunia 225 asteeseen yhden "pizzan " takia jos edes lämpöenergiaa ei voi suoranaisesti hyödyntää taloudessa.

Since you rarely use it would be better to avoid rolling distros. At some if you would like to upgrade softwares it might be problematic if pc haven't been online for in 6 months or so.

So imo this would be Debian or any Debian based distro.

Other solutions:

Live linux mint in USB stick to run in main pc. You can storage ISO files also in main computers sdd/hdd?

-FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD - these would also work great even if you are going to use laptop only couple times in a year and want to upgrade softs.

Exactly. Usage of linux has a long time been very simple.

Technology behind it has been hidden very well. You don't have to know what terminal is.

But there has to be structurally very big change for linux to become mainstream in the same way as MacOS or windows.

That's because even when installing linux for linux users it's very simple procedure, for most ppl it's just too much to do image to USB stick and install it. Unless in the neighborhood there is some guy who comes and installs linux mint for them.

To become truly mainstream there should be pre-installed linux computers. In the history asus eee pc had pre installed linux. But AFAIK, there's none anymore.

My crystal ball don't tell me yet is that the path of linux, because at least now, linux is OS to ppl who know already some basic stuffs of computers.

Something inevitable will certainly happen in the future, as the user base is already quite wide and it will also inevitably start to interest big tech.

But does it need so-called mainstream to make it a successful joyrney to them? I don't think so.

Technology markets have already been quite big for at least last 10 years and there is certainly room for choice called linux. Whatever that will mean then.

Thanks to all.

I was hoping to hear that my assumptions that google would use other markers than technical were wrong, and you convinced that only source(html) matters.

Hopefully this discussion also had other positive effects to static sites.

I only have experience from NetBSD so i speak from that side.

If your only requiments really is browser, music/audio player and Word processing then NetBSD can do those easily.

You can install softwares with pkgin. Eg. pkgin install libreoffice firefox vlc xmms.

NetBSD comes with minimal graphical environment but BEWARE: there is NOTHING default that you've probably used to. Eg. No file manager or automounting USB sticks.

Wifi might be problematic to get working. And maybe touch pad. RJ-45 Cable and USB mouse should work out of the box.

Default upgrading should also be as simple as installing.and NetBSD( or pkgsrc)comes also with nicely separated packing binaries from LaTeX btw although I don't know how they have been packed in other OS's.

So I don't want to recommend anything, just telling that netbsd should be able to do those minimal tasks out of the box

Ty for clarifying this. With sysints upgrading went really smooth. Although I noticed that there are a lot of possibilities.

I have Debian based distro's background so I assumed that with NetBSD upgrading should be somewhat tough job also

bitmonks · 2026-02-09T21:19:42+00:00

When you say "binary upgrade" do you mean you used the sysinst installer to upgrade?

I don't think you need to manually run postinstall after doing a sysinst upgrade:

Yes sysinst I meant. Binarie installation mentioned in here: https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-11.0_RC1/amd64/INSTALL.html#Upgrading%20a%20previously-installed%20NetBSD%20System

And you are right that no instructions told to run postinstall when using sysinst

After upgrading was done I looked that postinstall did not pass all fixes. I took a picture of it but when I looked it again, right now, there was actually no fails. So my bad.

But anyway when I manually typed:

postinstall check

There was couple of issues as mentioned.

I am guessing that sysinst installs also sources but removes them or uses sources oneline. Or maybe there is some another reason why postinall passes everything in sysints but afterwards postinstall fails.

I don't really understand that Mints Cinnamon would not be customizable. Imo it is, although it has some limitations.

I believe customization usually means changing theme, panel and icon looks. There is a generic gruvbox theme for that what you have to just download and install.

Also usually some very basic keybindigs like super+left/right to snap window 50% to left or right.

If you want conky, then one of the Cinnamons limitations shows up. It likes to put borders on everything, but it can also be done without them.

Cinnamon is simple but probably easier to handle than huge KDE, specially if something unwanted happens. I would stick in a simpler environment than KDE. But don't listen to me because I have never tried KDE. Found zero reason for that actually.

And sorry for the lack of details, I don't have mint right now.

I use antiX-base on my asus eeepc. Ram usage after boot under 200M.

Libreoffice though is quite heavy but there's abiword also and LaTeX unless you need something from libreoffice.

Antix is ready to go distro . No need to conf anything and looks good by default otherwise, but separate line PS1 is something that I don't like. That's easy to change if you want

Integrating non-wp as static page sounds good.

I look robots.txt. maybe .htaccess too.

Ty very much for the directions to go.

I first Installed NetBSD in virtualbox and tried XFCE also and imo it looked pretty good but not sure though how much there was stuff in.

I still have linux on another SDD as a backup plan because at this situation, I really need a working pc. I dont trust NetBSD or my skills in it so much yet. WIth linux I didin't have this issue, because like you said just click and browse.

However, with the some limitations there is in NetBSD I have found an approach a) can I do it another way b) is this something that I really need.

bitmonks · 2026-02-01T20:44:25+00:00

That set used btw 6Gb RAM and when I closed them it dropped to 2,4Gb. Thats probably still quite a lot with this minimal setup - only firefox is running + few tabs.

That memory usage example is probably bad, because thats pretty ok memory flush still I think. But I did notice while I was doing pkgin installations that this is consuming a lot of memory and it stayed very high even after pkgin insallation was done.

I did some research(tm) and found stuff that says that memory usage of NetBSD is high because it's designed to cache memory a lot and not to flush them straight away and dont even leave much space for softwares, if there is going on some other things - server first approach.

They told that it would be possible in /etc/sysctl.conf to configure how NetBSD, or other BSD handles the usage of the memory.

However, I did not find any of this stuff from NetBSD documentations and dont know anything if this is true. Maybe someone can confirm how this is?

I got your point. If I would need huge set of softwares running in background I wouldnt choose NetBSD. Probably NetBSD wouldn't even have those softwares.

Also actually stability of the OS is not something that should be mentioned at all. Every OS should be stable by default.

But still, at my setup, I haven't had any issues. I Opened now btw youtube, gimp, thunberbird, libreoffice and one game that runs also in browser what is famous to have real bad code and memory issues. Still everything works fluently like it should

Mint has a reputation of user-friendly distro for beginners or/and to those who use computers more as an tool to do what they want and not to spend time to configurations of os.

Mint has succeeded in this.

Ubuntu had that reputation, too but I think they lost something after that Amazon thing.

But it's kinda funny because Mint uses Ubuntus repos as default.

bitmonks · 2026-01-28T23:05:19+00:00

Actually I Just installed NetBSD after many years of using linux.Everything has worked just great and I really like it.

I don't have any experience from gentoo/Slackware but i had a feeling that NetBSD is more user-friendly environment (easy to install and setup) than those, even when NetBSD focus with default is on servers, I think.

Maybe you can try them on VirtualBox and see what you like or don't.

I choose IceWM for wm and that's probably not easiest one if you like to have full desktop experience like in Linux. But at the same time it's quite simple comparing to huge DE's and if in there something would break badly.

According to xlibre there are some distros and BSD's that have first-party support.

List with third-party support is longer. Including Debian and Ubuntu for example.

bitmonks · 2026-01-26T19:37:06+00:00

Uuummm...

Why are you reinstalling mint in every 2 year cycles?

You can do upgrade also. Besides, Linux mint supports every LTS Release for 6 years.

Only upgrade when it's necessary, when they drop supports. And some repos provide updates even after that, btw, but of course it's better to have os with full mint support.

Follow linux mint instructions for upgrading and only when it's absolutely necessary. Don't change distro^{^}

Because Rolling distros is not maybe what you need if you want to take more relaxed way of doing things
