So I went all in and brought a new harddrive (old one needs replacing anyway) so started again/again.
I can't imagine what I got rid of to brake tty's so badly, all I did (I think) was remove some bloatfest #POPPYCOCK TOSS!
What I found even stranger about all this was that I hadn't realised how hard it was to operate a computer without a command line interface.
It's been some time since I broke an operating system; years in the counting. And whilst I still maintain LINUX IS UNLEARNABLE it's definitely got harder to brake.
I ditched Void Linux due to me not needing an up-to date distro and went with PeppermintOS based on and becouse Devuan was a massive bloat fest. I'm still SubstanceD free.
The kicker of course when it comes to bloat.. Is that; I'd like to go out and get a fourty or eighty GIG SSD for my laptop (lenovo X250) however the standard seems to have gone up to 256G, the drive I'm replacing was one hundred and twenty Gig thats ok but it's not eighty gig or fourty gig (Are you getting paid by the word?).
When it comes to digital *ullshit I always think it's a good idea to limit harddrive space as much as is possible to prevent cruft/digital hoarding*** or the trauma of loosing loads of bit's and bob's if everything goe's tits-up.
I'm twelve gig into my brand new 250 gig harddrive..

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall, a counsellor with a PhD in hoarding, to discuss the phenomenon of digital hoarding, where people accumulate excessive digital items. We'll explore the emotional responses to losing digital content, the organisational and environmental implications of digital clutter, and strategies for managing our ever-growing digital lives. From the nostalgic pull of old photos to the overwhelming influx of emails, this conversation reveals the surprising similarities between physical and digital hoarding.
