Pretty sure you can brick your system real quick using efivarfs

https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/efivarfs.html

some systems dont let you write but some do.

Theres a similar system i was messing with to read and write the firmware code... reading through this may be informative.

efivars should let your change any bios/uefi settings if thats what youre looking for.

Janus, a simple text editor

For the past few months I have been working on a simple windows notepad like text editor. It's nothing special, but when I first switched to linux I looked around and it took me a while to find leafpad. Unlike leafpad however, Janus uses gtk3, a much more modern toolkit then gtk2, it can display and modify binary data, and it...

Stopping a badly behaved bot the wrong way.

I host a few small low-traffic websites for local interests. I do this for free - and some of them are for a friend who died last year but didn't want all his work to vanish. They don't get so many views, so I was surprised when I happened to glance at munin and saw my bandwidth usage had gone up a lot....

Beaurocracy is a potent evil

mvirts ,

i was thinking the same thing

mvirts ,

Yes. This is why conda and nix are complicated.

mvirts ,

Could also be a bad update that broke grub, the smart data will show if your drive is dying

mvirts ,

Dont forget to play around with grub while its like this. Tab completion works great, try '(' the press tab to maybe see your disks as grub sees them. I think help lists commands and most of them are harmless.

mvirts , (edited )

Yes try this if you want to find your partition.

maybe not the best guide, but you can start doing partition recovery here

mvirts ,

Terrible 🙃

Impressive, but terrible.

mvirts ,

1 - This sounds really stupid, but check the recycle bin on both drives 😅 it is windows after all.

2 - turn off photorec paranoid mode, only check for formts you actually want, and sort the output by size to look for actual files you want.

3 - try checking total file size to see if the files were moved not deleted

mvirts ,

Have you tried recovery on the old drive? If the new smaller drive was completely full after deletion recovery is not possible

19-page PDF accuses Wikipedia of bias against Israel, suggests editors be forced to reveal their real names, and demands a new feature allowing people to view the history of Wikipedia articles ( signpost.news )

The crying "History" button at the top right sends its regards. Yes, the World Jewish Congress has published a report that demands Wikipedia add a feature to view the history of articles, see what actions were performed by whom, and "host forums and discussions within the Wikipedia community to address concerns about neutrality...

Wireless wifi is not working after chroot rescue on Arch Linux.

So basically I stupidly tried to update while my thinkpad had low battery and it powered off halfway through the update. The system wouldn’t boot because it was complaining that vm-linuz/linux was not found so I performed a chroot-rescue and got it to boot again. I must have messed something up during the process because now...

mvirts ,

no need to reinstall, a running system is always fixable, if you need networking try wired ethernet with a usb dongle or a usb wifi adapter or bluetooth/usb tethering to a phone

maybe start by running pacman -Syu again, in case it magically fixes itself.

Check dmesg for wifi related errors

figure out what wifi device you have and what kernel drivers support it

check that the driver module is available, try loading it manually with modprobe

reinstall relevant kernel modules. Hopefully this will fix whatever is wrong.

Hotspot Wi-Fi connected to my laptop works without connected to mobile data. What could be the reason? ( lemm.ee )

Title is self explanatory. For background, I am currently running Asahi Linux on my M1 MBP. Whenever I connected the hotspot without data being turned on, it somehow still worked like any regular wifi. I even ran several updates in the system and downloaded multiple apps in this wifi, which I find it amusing....

mvirts ,

Yeah my phone does this

mvirts ,

Great time to mention tools like testdisk that can easily recover data that has been recently deleted on common filesystems.

mvirts ,

I dont think so... you can use it to set up deleted paritions again afaik but thats all that i know of.

Blame the oems, dell ships dell OS with windows branding.

is it always cpu 2? Can you disable that core in your bios?

ALL ABOARD!

they heard as the conduct door took one last look at the platform.

mvirts , (edited )

Hmm i would start by removing all nonessential peripherals, reseating the ram and running memtest. Looks like init crashed. also I would check that your kernel and system arent built for cpu features not available on that chip.

does the machine boot any other os?

edit: missed the last bit

Maybe dig up an old iso from when the machine was new

mvirts ,

this points to maybe updating your bios

mvirts ,

Ubuntu was basically just polished debian back then, i would give this a try

https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/

but im pretty convinced its the bios, i couldnt find any reason the e4600 woild crash modern linux.

mvirts ,

Is your qcow2 image backed by another image?

Have you tried qemu-image check with -r for repair?

Bridge WiFi between two devices?

Not sure if that title is accurate, this field is not my strong point. Basically I'm about to move homes. And in my new (temporary) home I wont have access to ethernet, plus my server doesn't have a network card. I was therefore wondering if it was possible to bridge a connection between my laptop to my server with an ethernet...

mvirts ,

I have a raspi 3b dedicated to being my wifi to ethernet bridge, the config is old and it runs rpi os but if your interested i can dig up how it works 🙃

mvirts ,

I dare say, the last time i used an awt app was years ago. Im glad its there but eclipse really is being eclipsed by the infathomable horror that is electron based "editors".

otl , to Fediverse

What have I done?! My abomination of an idea of bridging my email and
ActivityPub progresses. If you see this message, something is working!
Comments replies are welcome as it's a good test of this system :)

People keep saying ActivityPub is a lot like email. If it's so similar
to email, could I use my email client to interact with the fediverse?

Previously I did this by writing a SMTP interface to the Mastodon HTTP
API. That worked. But as we probably know, the fediverse is not
Mastodon; it's really ActivityPub. The real deal would be working
with ActivityPub directly, not the Mastodon HTTP API.

And that's now (mostly?) working! In shonky diagram form, sending
looks like this:

laptop --SMTP--> my_server --ActivityPub--> fediverse

Replies look like this:

fediverse --ActivityPub--> my_server --SMTP--> mailbox <--IMAP-- laptop

my_server translates back and forth between ActivityPub messages and
mail messages.

For example given the message:

Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2024 16:37:59 +1100
From: Oliver Lowe <otl@apubtest2.srcbeat.com>
To: localtesting@aussie.zone
Subject: test 2

test hello world!

The following ActivityPub message is created:

{
	"@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
	"id":"https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/outbox/1709703480070628170",
	"type":"Note",
	"name":"test 2",
	"to": ["https://aussie.zone/c/localtesting","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"],
	"cc": ["https://aussie.zone/c/localtesting"],
	"published":"2024-03-06T16:37:59+11:00",
	"attributedTo":"https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/actor.json",
	"content":"test hello world!",
	"mediaType":"text/markdown"
}

There's still a lot of bugs (of course) and unimplemented bits (of
course). I can't call this a proper fediverse service yet. I'm going
to roll with this for a bit and see how it holds up.

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I'm interviewing for a software dev job currently (it's in the initial stages). If things work out, I'd absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it... (If all computers left on...

mvirts ,

But dont count 2 pcs out of the race, in most cases your salary is way more expensive than the nicest laptop they offer.

mvirts ,

the rhel machines at work are terrible specifically because of mcaffe av

mvirts ,

:/ im a bit jaded, so maybe this perspective isnt for everyone. I have abandoned several long term software projects from changing jobs and now try not to invest emotionally in my work projects. To compensate and keep enjoying software development I have a personal project that I am invested in but approach as a long term goal to avoid pressuring myself into completing it quickly and burning out.

mvirts ,

I empathize completely, sounds like me several years ago :) i hope you find something that works for you.
