You can use this instead if you insert it at the very top of each entry. Everything else can remain as-is.

Re: How does one debloat savefile? fossa64

Do you mean the savefile itself is expanding, or the contents inside?
Use GDMap to get an examination of where the storage space is going at /initrd/pup_ro1 or /initrd/pup_rw (It depends on some boot configuration so try both)

Re: Bionicpup32 extremely slow after running two days?

Judging by the original shot of high system cputime and very little available memory of 15MB, its safe to say that it is memory pressure. You may find some hope in zram. It'll be slower still, but at least it may be usable by some standard. So what you need to do is modprobe zram , echo zstd > /sys/...

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32

Filesystem type does not prohibit the ability to enter sleep. Remember, sleep saves in-memory contents of RAM, and makes the general assumption that whatever devices were connected will be connected when the machine wakes up.

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32

Have you tried modprobe toshiba_acpi? Also please re-enable acpi while you're at it.
Otherwise I cannot think of much. I would suggest trying a newer kernel and see if perhaps it is fixed there.

Re: How to use Broadcom BCM43142 Wifi chip?

You need the devx and kernel sources usually. After that you can locate broadcom releasing the source code for the driver, and you can build that. Alternatively there may be pets available on the forum.

EDIT: Try quickpet updates. It may pull in the driver.

Re: is there an android emulator/wine type interpreter

If you want an android emulator use android x86 with libhoudini enabled in QEMU.
If you want wine, use a WINE appimage. Those should work out of the box, although you may want to specify WINEPREFIX.

That's geany detecting changes that the kernel made. Just reload or cat /proc/acpi/wakeup it instead.

As far as I know, you can't create a symlink to a USB-Drive because the location of the USB-Drive is dynamically established anew on each boot-up. The reverse (symlink from USB-drive to hard-drive) can be done because the relative position of hard-drives are assigned first and do not change from on...
