Appears I have way too many Linux ISOs. What do people whose storage space is filled with Linux ISOs do? Correct, they get more storage. My home server consists of a computer whose creator specifically designed it to extort currency from clients. This means I am unable to upgrade its measly 256gb internal storage.

Right? Not really. You see, I had also realized that while the charger was indeed in the bag I knew it to be, the bag itself was 3000 kilometers away. ...
