Carbrained problems in narrow (wide) streets at the edge of suburban sprawl

A railway station isn’t restored until all the passenger rail lines and services are restored.

I was all ready to rant about the problem of new developments being built before public transport infrastructure, but I checked the map and there are two railway lines in the vicinity!

…that said, there is a distinct lack of cycle/pedestrian infrastructure and the style of vehicle traffic makes it hostile.

Of course, the best solution to that is limiting car traffic to a single lane, no on-street parking, and a 20km/h speed limit.

Easy with sudo apt remove --purge --allow-remove-essential --auto-remove systemd:

The predictable failure of things towards the end of apt running the above command. Still in a gnome terminal, but the apt script couldn't even complete due to a bunch of stuff now missing

Uh-oh.. a black vt on reboot, complaining that no inittab found..

:-D Time to go outside.

Huh. Whenever I’m in a situation where I have to use a laundry-powder/soap/shampoo/etc with fragrance: if I can still smell the fragrance then I figure it’s still technically dirty, so I need to keep rinsing.

You’re not supposed to handle them in Australia either, due to Australian bat lyssavirus:

double-check for security vulnerabilities

triple-check is better.

Part of me thinks you’re being unreasonable, because that question did receive decent responses (1 CLI + GUI suggestion, 1 GUI suggestion, and 2 beginning to try troubleshoot the drive access problem).

But I suspect it’s just a dissonance in perspectives, maybe due to your Linux distro causing a bunch of stupid issues, which haven’t been properly noticed by anyone yet.

It’s a shame that some distros like Ubuntu have enshittified so badly that they’ve become unsupportable. (Nothing seems to work rationally – the same reason I find it impossible to support users on Windows).

Advocates and potential/new users alike, need to consider specific distributions, not just “Linux”.

Find a folder comparison software [with only Gui]

A quick web search (even without ‘graphical’) turned up pages suggesting meld in the first few results.

There used to be a sign “helping” cyclists already on the freeway by telling them “cross here with care”:

sign directing cyclists on the freeway to cross the merging lane at a slightly safer location

But it was obliterated by a vehicle:

All around Vic, too. They generally don’t even put in a bike lane, just say “use the emergency lane”. Here’s a sequence of images for one on the freeway in to Melbourne from Ballarat, starting from the onramp:

Onramp with sign declaring bicycles permitted on this freeway

Further along the onramp, sign saying to form 1 lane

also on the onramp, yellow diamond sign with bicycle symbol

sign beside the now-merging lane directing cyclists to ride on the shoulder

sign at the end of the merge, 110 speed limit.

This whole stretch of freeway is 110 km/h (70mph). There are skid marks where vehicles have bailed out of a failing 110km/h merge.

The shoulder is the emergency lane. It’s where drivers pull over into if there’s an unavoidable hazard ahead or their brakes are failing or something.
