Fellow Linux users: need to perform surgery on my laptop and first step involves resizing an existing ext4 partition ideally keeping its files. What's the fastest way? Command line methods are fine.

Just got my old Amigas 500 working including its hard disk. Amazing really as it's not been powered on for 25 years. Feeling a little emotional TBH.

Dad, look, the characters in this game show real ethnic diversity!

Yeah, not only that but you're shooting them indiscriminately too.

A deformed and/or ferocious-looking witch. Baba Yaga flies around in a pestle, wields a mortar, and dwells deep in the forest in a hut. In Russian folkloric myths her house is described as standing on chicken legs (or sometimes a single chicken leg)
