That's stupid and illegal in Europe since you only want to unsubscribe from emails. The few sites for which the unsub button does nothing, I usually contact them and tell them they are breaking the EU law and if they don't stop, I will report them. Works all the time.

You might be onto something

Calculon - Workstation

Flexo - Gaming laptop

Bender - Intel Nuc/HTPC

Hmm my Synology NAS is called Syn, I need to find a more appropriate name for it.

I haven't done that, went with the nuclear option and wiped Debian :).

Thanks for your reply, could have done that. I switched back to Opensuse because it worked before and works now. Will keep in mind if I ever install Debian again.

Actually It's a good point, yes it was enabled. It worked a few hours before on Leap 15.3. So far it works only on Opensuse, that's why I wondered why.

I haven't, wouldn't that be if I wanted to wake it via the network? On Debian and other distros when I pressed keys on the keyboard, it tried to wake from sleep but it didn't actually turn on or had any image.

Linux Noob here

The Nuc is sitting under my TV and my wife uses it mostly to watch reality tv shows, cooking shows, etc on different websites. The requirement was for the Nuc to go to sleep after 30minutes of inactivity and to wake it up with the keyboard.

It had Leap 15.3 so I wanted to upgrade it but I managed to botch the upgrade. I decided to go with Debian instead, installed it, configured everything and when I handed it over to my wife I realized the Nuc never woke from sleep. Then I remember I had this problem in the past with it when I tried a whole bunch of distros and none of them managed to wake it up. I also read on Intel forums where people complained about the same issue with different Nucs and I think the general consensus was that it's a problem with the Nucs and it can't be solved.

What happens is, when the Nuc is sleeping, the power LED slowly blinks. When you wake it up, the LED goes completely away, like it's turned off but you can hear the fan is starting to spin. However, you don't have any image and you have to hold the power button a lot longer to turn if off, like it soft-resets.

So I nuked Debian, installed Leap 15.5 and it wakes from sleep without any issues. I am happy that it does and I like Opensuse but I have no idea what it does different compared to other distros in this regard.

I am my own admin, running my small business so I am user/admin/spam receiver :). I might stick with Outlook for business for the moment. Don't want to mess around. For private use, Thunderbird is chef's kiss .

Can you elaborate more on the add-on, what's it called? I just started using Thunderbird again but at the moment only for my personal addresses.

Wondering if I should make multiple partitions or keep it as PopOS made it. (lemmy.world)
 

Linux noob here. Usually in Windows if I have a 1TB SSD, I make a 250GB partition for Windows and all of its things and I use the rest for a second partition where I install my stuff and store my files.

Usually in case Windows decides to go belly up, I still have my files. In more than 20 years it has never happened but I've always done it like that. I mean if Windows goes bad, I can still remove the drive and insert it into a different PC and copy my files away.

Should I shrink Partition 3 and make another one? Or keep it as it is? If I would, I read that I need to boot with a live usb to be able to shrink it. What kind of partition would I make?
