mvirts,

I’ll try it once Linux support kinda works

mvirts,

We used to think that sickness was due to a god’s displeasure, not noticing what we now take for granted that disease spreads through contact.

mvirts,

Don’t forget LaTeX!

mvirts,

What does the X stand for?

mvirts,

Nothing unsolvable, but it can be a pain when you want to run something not in nixpkgs. My solution is to have Ubuntu on a separate partition, and I was using docker to solve this problem for a while but have moved away from it.

Surge XT, it’s LV2 but still awesome

Also I’m a zynaddsubfx / yoshimi die hard. Not for everyone but it can do almost everything if you can live with 8bit automation parameters

But hey, at least everyone supports webp now. (lemmy.world)

Context: Even though Chromium has native support for AVIF, a very nice image format, Microsoft goes out of their way to remove it from Edge, which is a chromium fork. Jpeg XL (JXL) (not to be confused with Jpeg (JPG) or Jpeg 2000 (jpg2k) ) is another nice image format, which, IIRC, is only supported in Firefox.

mvirts,

Let’s rename JXL to GPEJ to give GIF pronunciation a run for its money

mvirts,

I’m sure it’ll be fine, just keep running the old version 🙃

mvirts,

Nah it’s so kids don’t get trapped in a fire

mvirts,

I’m so offended

mvirts,

It’s always the disk cache

mvirts,

Idk what exactly you’re asking for, but this is already an option for me on teams in chrome running under Wayland??? Like when I choose start presenting it pops up a dialog with window options including the whole desktop.

mvirts,

The Linux desktop is forever, one year cannot contain it.

mvirts,

Remember kids, JSX is just function calls. It can’t hurt you.

mvirts,

No city name on the lid? Maybe this is the best crawlspace access ever?

mvirts,

The printers are probably running Linux too.

mvirts,

What’s the point of sockets?

mvirts,

I haven’t gnused it, I probably won’t unless I stop using nixos. I haven’t looked into it much, how different from nixos is guix?

What would be the best way for me to recover data from my old laptop's hard drive, which seems to have a bad superblock?

I got an external hard drive enclosure for the purpose of recovering some of the files from my old laptops hard drive. The hard drive and all of it’s partitions show up in both disks and gparted but it wont mount. When I tried to mount it manually, it gave the error message stating that it can’t read the superblock. I’ve...

The quick and dirty way I’ve used is…

Use the nbd system (network block devices) and qemu to create a qcow2 image with your defective device as the base device. Serve this qcow2 image with qemu-nbd and attach it as a NBD device locally. Then run fsck or testdisk on the NBD device. This will let you repair the filesystem Linux sees without writing to the disk. Testdisk can scan for any filesystems left on the device if the partitions no longer match filesystems.

Also, if all else fails use photorec to slice the file types you need.

Also, ddrescue can try to read any actually failing sectors and work out what they contain, but puts a lot of stress on the device.

Beware, any method that puts more wear on the disk should not be used unless you’re willing to accept the risk that the drive could get worse.

mvirts,

What do you want from your writing software other than basic text editing?

Mouse or keyboard navigation preferred?

mvirts,

Slap a Firefox on top (and time travel to when ff is all rusted) and we’ll be coming for ChromeOS. But will windows be completely rusted first? 🙃

mvirts,

Indoctrination! 😁
