mvirts,

Is this site insane? On Linux I have access to so many more applications than other platforms. Sorry apple, ios apps repeating the same thing infinitely doesn’t count.

mvirts,

Sounds like a good time to me!! Hey and look at all that wasted space you found 😹

mvirts, (edited )

Yes. But since we’re in Linux land, you may be able to replay the journal and un-dirty your disk by mounting with the ntfs3 driver listed here docs.kernel.org/filesystems/ntfs3.html, or you could try using ‘ntfsfix -d [your device]’ from the ntfs-3g package to clear the journal and the dirty bit, although whatever the last operation was on the filesystem may be left in an incomplete state since the journal is not replayed.

I haven’t done it in a while, but with virtualbox I have used direct disk access by creating a special vmdk with vboxmanage to give a VM access to real partitions.

mvirts,

Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?

Practice makes perfect.

mvirts,

It’s your grandma, you gave her ubuntu and everything has been good for a while.

Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

Well I’ve joined the “accidentally trashing your system with rm -rf” club! Luckily I didn’t delete my home directory with all the things I care about, but I did delete /boot and /usr, and maybe /var (long story, boils down to me trying to delete non-system directories named those but reflexively adding the slash in front...

mvirts,

Give it a try! System is broken anyway. Also fix your backup to include file metadata, maybe disk images?

Heck I would try using testdisk to undelete the files onto another filesystem then copy them back if the permissions look okay.

mvirts,

Are you looking for info on how to set the led color or something else?

mvirts,

On the adafruit page it says:

These LEDs are not shift registers. In fact, if you look closely, there’s no input and output pin, only one data line. That’s because each LED in this strand is pre-addressed from 0 to 100. Whenever it receives the NeoPixel data, it picks out the n’th color data (matching to its pre-address) and displays that. You cannot change the pre-address, its fixed permanently - or at least, we have no idea how to re-address it.

mvirts,

If you’re familiar with blender, it works pretty well but renders slow

mvirts,

I ❤️ cmake

Probably because I’ve never developed with ninja or meson 😹

mvirts,

Super smash. The intense gameplay draws me in away from whatever is keeping me from relaxing.

mvirts,

Running libreoffice for windows on wine

mvirts,

Lol I don’t know why people are hating this. It’s cool, looks more European. Do you have more for other states? There are some way crazier flags flying in the US.

mvirts,

Nixos for me! But my dark secret is that I also have an Ubuntu partition those things that I can’t get working.

How exactly "secure" is a container with all capabilities dropped, distroless, with a custom rootfs directory, a static, single binary with chmod set at 100 and file ownership pointed to non-root u...

ser*, and said non-root user being “nonexistant” (i.e set via ENV)? Can such container -STILL- be exploited/breached through malicious means? Forgot to mention that its a DOCKER container @ title, but there you have it. Just curious....

mvirts,

There may be unknown container escape vulnerabilities like these container-security.site/…/container_breakout_vuln… that can work from an unprivileged container.

mvirts,

Gnome 3 has an option to keep one display fixed when changing workspaces… Also most window managers allow you to keep certain windows on all workspaces, maybe that will help?

Broke a partition. Is there any way of saving it?

While I was switching distros, I accidentally broke a partition. I’m almost certain that all the data is there, but it doesn’t have a filesystem (I used ext4). Is there anything I can do to fix it, similar to changing the file extension without changing the contents. PS: It’s a data partition. I was trying to resize it,...

mvirts,

Seconded. This is one of the things testdisk is built for, searching for lost filesystems and adding partition table entries to recover them.
