Interesting. Looks like perhaps your boot loader isn’t properly pointing at your root partition.

I’m assuming you’ve just done the install and never successfully booted, yes? In that case, you can try to re-run the installer, or try rescue mode and try repairing the bootloader.

Are you doing dual-booting, or is this system dedicated to Linux?

There are probably newer ones that come with LiPos. But every consumer grade one I’ve seen is traditional lead acid batteries.

…(it is kinda like a bomb after all)…

WAT? I’ve never heard a UPS referred to as “kinda like a bomb” before.

Keep your UPS maintained, replace the batteries when they age out, and it will be fine. If your UPS supports automated self-tests, use them.

My employer has UPS units spread all over the region we operate in, and we don’t have any issues, despite leaving them mostly unattended for years. I have several in my house and I’ve never given them a second thought aside from battery replacements.

Yes, back in the early 00s. We toyed with making a net-bootable image with it for our computer labs, but it was really not practical. It definitely taught me a ton about systems, though.

I admit, I’m not a big fan of putting more functionality into systemd (or just of systemd in general), but that is a well-reasoned argument for having sudo live in the init system.

I bought the 512Gb OLED, and within two months decided I needed to upgrade the storage. I replaced the drive with a 2Tb drive, and I’m much happier. That said, I download a ton of stuff and keep it on there. I don’t often play a single game straight through, so I like having the ability to have a wide variety at any given time. Replacing the drive is trivial if you’re handy at all.

I would buy direct, I wouldn’t trust getting something second hand. I’m sure plenty of people are selling their LCD for an OLED, but I would rather go direct unless you’re getting an amazing deal and have some level of purchase protection.

I finished setting up my deck the day before the lawsuit was announced. I should probably make a backup of my SD card where I installed everything…

Mozilla seized an opportunity to bring trustworthy AI into Firefox, largely driven by the Fakespot acquisition and the product integration work that followed. Additionally, finding great content is still a critical use case for the internet. Therefore, as part of the changes today, we will be bringing together Pocket, Content, and the AI/ML teams supporting content with the Firefox Organization.

emphasis mine

How do you interpret that?

I read the man page, but I didn’t see the answer to your question in there.

I am assuming that it would only dump the root filesystem in your example. Other mounted filesystems like /home or /media, if they’re separate filesystems, probably aren’t included. You’d have to run a separate dump for each one.

Best option to find out is to try it and see what happens. No better way to learn than by doing.

Same here. Seems like Google did a pretty good job with the eSIM registration in their app. I’ve swapped phones a number of times with zero issues.

Read the error again. It’s journalctl.

It’s a long shot, but I hope that they keep the exposure notification framework and work with the CDC/appropriate orgs around the world to make it a generic exposure notification. The technical feature is impressive, and the usefulness (with proper adoption) would be high for the various occasions where other communicable diseases pop up. It seems easy enough to have a generic app to add the various diseases and their incubation/transmission windows to allow others to be notified.

But, because people are whiny fucks, it’ll die and we’ll be in a rush to reimplement it for the next thing that comes up.

Even if it did exist in an ideal state, people would still not use it, because people suck.

PowerShell makes that a lot better these days. It’s still not perfect, but a lot better.

It’s not that it’s deleted automatically. If you define deleting as “not being referenced by the file system,” then it’s deleted as soon as it’s unlinked.

Fun story - create a big file, and hold it open in an application. Unlink the file. Then compare the output of du and df for the mount point the file was on. It will differ until the app closes and the inode of the file is finally freed.

Cursory Google searches will give you driver downloads. Dell/HP can give you a pre-bundled package of drivers.

Unless you’ve got some very unique hardware (or very old), it just isn’t that difficult to figure out.

I’m all for using Linux, and I’m considering moving my desktop over from Win 10, but I’ve never had any issues with the install of Windows. If it’s any level of modern hardware, it should mostly work out of the box.

These kinds of rants really trip my BS detector, because it’s just not that complicated. If you can handle Linux but can’t manage to even install Windows, I have a lot of questions.
