I have a single server with everything inside. By using Tailscale to access my server I’m giving full access to it and the entirety of my network to a third party tool that I don’t know that well.

All communist countries used the communism idea to trick their people into a fascist government.

But it is incredible the power those points have in our mind! Just now I’m being downvoted for a comment I did and I immediately felt the need to go there and justify the point I was trying to make. It took some effort to convince myself that I don’t care about that and that I don’t have to justify to those that didn’t understand my point.

Did you disable fastboot in windows to make sure this doesn’t happen again?

Filesystems may be remounted read only on error. I’d expect that to be reverted post reboot, but maybe your error was big enough for it not to? You may want to search how to perform an fsck on the affected partitions.

Random guess: Install flatseal and use it to give permissions to that folder.

Just in time!

Preparing for GTK 5

I found this gitlab issue two days ago after I noticed that the video camera was always on in powertop. The workaround appeared to work for me and the reduction in power consumption was noticeable, but Cheese wasn’t able to find a camera afterwards. Didn’t test other software.

Now, if I could just find a way of reducing the screen consumption…

Do note that the default non-X terminal is called console: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_console

Oh God, the line breaks!

I was in the beta for the original World of Warcraft and restarted when it officially launched. This was 20 years ago, so memory is fuzzy, but somewhere along the way I was playing it in wine exclusively under Linux. Game updates were common and frequently broke wine, but I kid you not a patch was available within 24h. Yes, this forced me to compile my own wine, but it wasn’t that difficult then. Together with “checkinstall” I could maintain a clean .deb package from the source code.

Some links I found in a quick search showing the challenges:

To be honest, keeping the game running in Linux sometimes felt as a fun side quest!

After that I was mostly able to play all my games in Linux, with some exceptions, obviously, that sometimes required me to install windows.
