The Cinnamon power management settings on Mint have options to suspend OR lock my ThinkPad when the lid is closed but I can't seem to find a way to make it do both.

Update: fixed

Yes, I lost the original power supply and no, I don't want to talk about it.

I had no idea some succulents could do this. I mean, I knew you could easily propagate them from cuttings but I thought at least a small section of the stem/rhizome needed to be intact. This just happened by sheer accident after it broke off.

I'm moving away from Windows (yay!) and need to bring a few features with me. Microsoft added this auto complete feature to PowerShell recently and I need something similar:

I found this package which is helpful, but it requires you to hit tab before you get a list of suggested commands: https://wiki.debian.org/Add%20Bash%20Completion

Do I need a different shell entirely? I'm using bash on Debian now.

I have a pile of hard drives sitting around that need to be securely wiped. Does anyone know of something similar to DBAN or ShredOS for ARM that I can use to turn a Pi into a disk wipe station? It doesn't need to be a dedicated OS, just a package that I can run on top of armbian or whatever.

I would like to add another wireless access point near my little deck and 0.1 acre back yard and I have some extra Raspberry/Orange Pi hardware lying around that should easily be up to the task. I remember installing DD-WRT on a WRT54G north of twenty years ago in something like AP mode. Is it still up to the task or is there something better now?

I'm looking for a compact NAS to back up events from my video surveillance system. Two drive bays is enough, maybe four at most. They can be 2.5" or 3.5", SATA or SAS, preferably populated with mechanical drives but even with reliable SSDs. It doesn't need to handle more than a few GB per day of throughput and 16TB of total storage would be more than enough so it doesn't need to support even more massive drives. I don't care if it's complete product like a Synology or something built from scratch using an SBC and adapters; all I need is RAID 1 and an SMB/CIFS file share, though I would like to keep costs low. My house is wired for Ethernet so wifi would just be a bonus but it might help to hide the device somewhere a burglar isn't likely to see it like they will the NVR in my server rack. Also, a GNU/Linux-based OS is obviously mandatory or else I wouldn't be on Lemmy.
