  How long is a piece of string?

  Really depends on what you install.

  ‘du -hs /usr /var’ to get a rough idea.

  Next time make a partition ;)

  The second meaning is “you are pushing your luck”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a good idea to use an Android phone as an external SSD for backing up my home folder?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is your /home on a separate partition? If so, no need to copy anything.

  If you really need to backup, I’d get a proper external disk, or failing that, backup to backblaze (or similar) and restore later.

  At a pinch, you could tar it all up and copy it to a usb stick, if you have a big enough one to habd, but it’ll be slower.

  A tracker, in case you lose it.

  Do you ever strop dull gem blades? Is that a thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wednesday SOTD Thread - February 5th, 2025 (#605) [Atlas Shaves Edition]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  1912 crew!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks for the help with the 1912 boot sale find⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, true!

  Apart from the bit where you have to take the cardboard off the blade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for all of your answers. I ordered the blades just today!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. That’s very kind.

  I ordered a pack of 100 just earlier today. Doh!

  I figured if I didn’t like this razor, I can probably sell it and the blades on ebay easy enough. But let’s hope I like it :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I see.

  And one more question, sorry, how is this kind of razor around the ears? Is it possible with the added bulk?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for sharing this profound wisdom 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you stropping those blades to make them last longer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Smaller packs are out of stock at the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! For £5 I thought it was worth a shot!

  these are great for shaving your dome as long as you keep the head plate (mostly) flat on your skin

  What happens if you don’t? Does it nick your skin?

  Thanks. Shame the smaller packs are out of stock. I may have to bite the bullet and buy 100.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks!

  I do wish I could buy fewer than 100 to see if I like it or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What blades does this razor accept?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it might be a 1912. Glad for confirmation.

  I’m having trouble finding those blades in the uk though.

  I’ve tried downvoting and upvoting and cancelling the upvote and putting it back. Neither worked.

  This is frustrating.

  Any news at your end?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Posts from sdf not making it to lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be something to do with image processing on sdf?

  Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to upload a picture, although I’d assumed that was a bug in the client (voyager).

  I downvoted my post, waited a minute, the upvoted it. Let’s see if it shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Posts from sdf not making it to lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for getting back to me! I hope it can be fixed because it’s a community I mod.

  Out of interest, how do you debug such things? Is there a log file you inspect? Is it public?

  Thanks! While we are here, my last three posts to !fountainpens@lemmy.world didn’t actually make it to the community.

  The first was over a week ago. The last was today.

  I’m posting from the sdf instance. Any idea why this could be?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some reflections on the cost of shaving soap.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t call wet shaving with a DE a hobby, but I’m pretty sure it’s saving me money compared to buying mach 3 blades and cans of shaving foam.

  But I do it your grandpa’s way though. I shave my head 2 or 3 times a week. I have one DE shaver. I use the same soap, bowl and brush every time. A blade lasts me 2 or 3 shaves.

  I get good results and it feels good. I only spend on shaving supplies maybe twice a year because I bulk buy blades and soap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any durable double edged razors at the sub £50 mark?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually prefer 3 piece.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any durable double edged razors at the sub £50 mark?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking this too.

  A set of stainless steel cutlery isn’t super expensive for example.
