I think you need to set the execute bit on your service file.

Yes - I have been running IPFire on an old desktop for several years now and I really like it.

Call it bloom if you want, but it is really mold.

This is the most likely problem. There is no way the output from fdisk should be different between the two connections (the USB and SATA) if they are both working correctly.

Been kinda fascinated by this case since watching a lot of Doug Demuro's videos from there (note that this stuff happened after Doug stopped reviewing their cars). Decided to check up and looks like Clayton is facing a long list of charges.

Switching to Electric Heating (lemmy.ca)

I went to the Ontario Hydro calculator to look at switching from oil heating to electric (natural gas not available here). This calculator says that I can save about $400 per year by switching. I have much doubt about this. Has anyone actually done this switch? Do you believe this?

Edit: some more info I should have provided:

First of all, I believe this would be for a forced air electric furnace. This should easily swap in for my oil furnace, I would just have to add a 220 line.

I live in central Ontario. I don't have or need/want air conditioning, so there is nothing to save there.

I am not sure about a heat pump for my case, since it would not be used in the summer and they become less efficient as it gets colder. I am not sure I can rely on a heat pump as my only heating source.
