  • os-probe, the thing that suppose to help grub mkconfig auto-detect windows boot menu entry, is by default disabled in /etc/default/grub.

    You need to:

    • Make sure os-prober is installed
    • Uncomment GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false in /etc/default/grub
    • probably restart for good measure
    • Find out which disk partition holds your EFI system partition
    • mount that partition on /boot
    • run grub mkconfig and override /boot/grub/grub.cfg

  • A TLDR alternative to man pages
    While a man page is for every possible flag available for a command,
    A tldr is for the most common tasks a command can do.

    tldr fc
    
    fc
    
      Open the most recent command for editing and then run it.
      More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-fc.
    
      - Open the last command in the default system editor and run it after editing:
        fc
    
      - Specify an editor to open with:
        fc -e 'emacs'
    
      - List recent commands from history:
        fc -l
    
      - List recent commands in reverse order:
        fc -l -r
    
      - Edit and run a command from history:
        fc number
    
      - Edit commands in a given interval and run them:
        fc '416' '420'
    
      - Display help:
        fc --help

    More often than most, middle are driving the speed limit, tailgaters are angry that you are not breaking the law.
    Imagine if you’re at a Disney park in a line for a ride, and the one behind you being pissed off you’re not stabbing every person in front of you.
    If that situation is crazy, why did we normalized breaking the speed limit because an asshole keep beeping and flashing their light at you?




  • I have 3 old cellphones that for the life of me, no matter how hard I tried - couldn’t install an alt android OS on it

    One device was compatible - but I couldn’t unlock the boot loader

    One device was never tested against any alt OSes

    One device was carrier locked.

    I also have one old Galaxy Tab that I spent weeks trying to flash another ROM to it - and it fails every time.

    I’m 0/4 on trying to reanimate old android hardware - it’s just too difficult and too much hoops to go through.

    At least I’m fairly capable with installing Linux on old laptops - and given that a new wave of Win11 compatible laptops is coming - I’ll get to do it more frequently soon.

    I haven’t tried to do LUKS yet, and I’m dying to get my hands on a Yubikey and learn what I can make it do.




  • I feel I must clarify. I value my privacy, and my money. I prefer to disconnect it from the internet immediately, but if the vendor put a piece of code that measures offline time and then disables critical HDMI input functionality - it is a different story entirely.

    What if after X months of offline functionality - I have to connect it again because of “You must connect to the internet to continue using this TV”

    What if being offline for a very long duration of time - means that when connecting it again - the firmware update bricks my TV?

    I know the instabilities that occurr when updating after a very long time of being offline.

    I’m unsure about my specific model - but it is an LG WebOS OLED 48"
