If you'll excuse my blatant fan-girling, I'm just going to fawn over the Princess #Leia of #StarWars herself, Carrie Fisher in these pics.

Who happens to be fangirling 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 over Peter Weller at a Giorgio Armani #fashion show in 1980 - both of whom acted in some rather fantastic #scifi films in their time (Leviathan is my pick of Mister Weller's)

I definitely suffer from that thing called 'Anemoia' (a feeling of nostalgia for a time you never lived)

IDK, she's just so damn gorgeous.

Here is how I cleaned up my partition space after the install of SWTOR

BSD.cafe Mastodon PortalDendrobatus Azureus (@Dendrobatus_Azureus@bsd.cafe)Attached: 1 image Giving credit to the programmers of GPARTED(8) gparted works its magic, by entering correct parameters to a suite of partition control & editing commands, which are sh envoked, so you can easily manipulate your partitions on all your SSDs HDDs from the comfort of your UI When you want to batch manipulate partitions, you can study the log output and make sh scripts yourself, controlling partitions anywhere. You also have the convenience of running gparted from sh so it still works its magic for you, without the UI! I usually run cfdisk gdisk fdisk when I partition a fresh mechanical or SSD, later on I invoke gparted when I want to resize or move them it also runs important commands at the end so that the kernel gets to know your new partition layout, which makes rebooting your machine to use them unneeded I shrunk and resized a partition where I installed a program, which needed 75GB (*1024!) as installation space but only uses 56GB in the end. I left 12GB of breathing room on the partition after the shrink and of course grew the partition before with the same size, minus the alignment snip of 1MB log: myserver kernel: JFS: nTxBlock = 8192, nTxLock = 65536 myserver kernel: SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, realtime, scrub, repair, quota, debug enabled myserver kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4 myserver kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdb4 ^Z @altbot@fuzzies.wtf https://gparted.org #gparted #partitions #bash #csh #ksh #sh #parameters #UEFI #Linux #options #programming #POSIX

I'm preparing to allocate some SSD space to my favourite MMO SWTOR, for the VM I created a short while ago.

I was blown away with the ammount of SSD space it needs now in comparison to when I started about 14 years ago.
75GB!!! It was just 50GB in 2024 and 16GB when I started to play

Wikipedia:

Although not officially disclosed, based on estimates, it is one of the most developmentally expensive games made
^Z

I believe this to be true because the character interaction is fantastic, the scenes on the different planets in the different star systems is amazing, and the ammount of detail put in the main missions and side quests is superb. You can literally just wander around and be amazed at the scenery, while avoiding interaction with the NPC's

I love SWTOR gaming and keep going back. I like it when I can subscribe for a quarter of a year. I plan to do so again, when I've build my new AMD pc with a nice APU 128GB ram and some HDD / SSD space (32TB / 8TB) especially allocated for gaming in the broadest sense

Here are the System requirements

Operating System: Windows 10 or later – 64-bit
Processor:
AMD: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better
Intel: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz or better
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: Star Wars: The Old Republic requires a video card that has a minimum of 1 GB of on-board RAM as well as support for Shader 3.0 or better. (Examples include:Intel HD 3000 or better/AMD Radeon HD 7450/Nvidia GeForce 610)
Storage: 75 GB available space
Internet connection: Required to play
