I’ve used this example before to try to make people understand your point:

10 million seconds is a little less than four months

10 billion seconds is over 300 years

Buy yourself a present, instead. Fuck them kids. 😆

When you figure it out, please let me know.

We used Bitbucket Server back when they offered an on-premesis solution. Replaced it with gitea, which seems quite good so far.

Forgot to include the boot/system volume. It’s a lovely time waster when you’re dealing with disk images that are hundreds of gigabytes in size that have to be copied over the network. 😆

I’ll add Disk2hvd screenshots when I get a sec.

Situation gets slightly more complicated if you had multiple drives in your system when you installed Windows, of course. Installer might put system volume on a different drive, so you’d have to image more than one drive to get a working system. Might get a little confusing as to which volumes should go in which image. There’s a tool called GWMI that might help with that since afaik the volume guids don’t show up in the Windows Disk Management snap-in.

Edit: The promised screenshot. In my case, I knew the volume labelled SYSTEM resided on the same disk as my C: drive. Probably don’t have to include the recovery partition, strictly speaking, but I did.

Well before today, I’d never heard of virtio-win, and I’d never used KVM/QEMU for virtualization on Linux, and despite an error on my part I had a running VM by close of business. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh wow! Thanks for this. I’m learning.

Oh huh. Is that a QEMU option? I’m new to all this.

I figured that was such a well-known xkcd that no citation was necessary. There really is an xkcd for everything.

What is Microsoft Search anyway? Is it the web results in the start menu that I always turn off or have they renamed Bing?

Indeed I do.

FWIW I had the same issue under Fedora 40 Bazzite. For a bit I was having to shut down to avoid the problem you describe, and then they changed something else and I couldn’t even shut down cleanly from within the DE. Things have been sooo much better since the upgrade to 41.

Hey you’re right

I was sympathizing with OP.

Yeah how come Bowie got emojis 👨🏻‍🎤👩🏻‍🎤🧑🏻‍🎤

but Prince, George Michael, and Freddie Mercury got sweet fuck all? Yes, I know Freddie died pre-emoji you absolute pedants.

Way back when it was SkyDrive, for some reason I was given some huge (for the time) amount of space “for life”. Can’t remember why. For being a Windows dev maybe? Idk.

Some years later, I did an Office sub for a couple years, which also came with OneDrive space. When I let the Office sub expire, the fuckers took away my lifetime space. Cunts.

I respect your life choices. Please splooge responsibly.
