oracle33 , to android in Looking for Rec: Offline note taking app?

Obsidian is close.

It’s a little higher barrier to entry w.r.t. saving without a title, but it has a “Daily Note” feature that gets you very close to your quick need.

Benefit is that it’s also really powerful if you want to get fancy.

slowbyrne , to linux in Grub-btrfs troubles
@slowbyrne@beehaw.org avatar

Did you setup this server with a boot partition?

Rolling back the root subvolume with an older kernel could create a mismatch to the boot partitions kernel. Not sure if that’s contributing to your problem, but might be worth looking into.

luckless OP ,
@luckless@beehaw.org avatar

Yes, I have a separate boot partition. How would I fix a mismatch? The only posible solution I’ve found is to directly edit the grub entries, but that’s a bit beyond what I’ve done with grub before. Thanks for the response!

slowbyrne ,
@slowbyrne@beehaw.org avatar

Only thing I can think of is the subvolumes left over might be causing an issue. I don’t know how snapper performs a rollback and I’ve seen a couple ways to do it. Sometimes its modifying the default subvolume to the snapshot you want to rollback to. This is fine IF your kernel params are NOT specifying the subvol. That would look like this rootflags=subvol=subvolume_name.

Usually I just rename the subvols and make sure the snapshot I’m renaming to replace the current root subvol is not set to read only.

So rename current root to root.broken Then rename snapshot to root Then set readonly prop to false.

luckless OP ,
@luckless@beehaw.org avatar

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The way grub-btrfs works is by changing the default root snapshot subvolume. I’m still not sure what I did wrong to get the rollback stuck to the particular kernel. But I’ll give what you’ve written here a try. Thanks again.

luckless OP ,
@luckless@beehaw.org avatar

Well, I tried rolling back to another snapshot and checked my kernel params and its not in there. My port issue seems to be fixed but i still do not boot into the new kernel after updating and rebooting. Edit: I think I need to clean up my /boot directory somehow since it’s partition is not btrfs. But I’m unsure how to do it, or where to read up on it.

slowbyrne ,
@slowbyrne@beehaw.org avatar

Well as long as you take a snapshot of your data and move that snapshot to another drive, you’re free to tinker without real worry. Arch Linux wiki should have lots of examples of what you’re trying to fix or modify. There’s always a fresh install as well, which isn’t ideal most of the time but as long as the data is safe, then its an option. Best of luck, hope you’re able to resolve the issue.

luckless OP ,
@luckless@beehaw.org avatar

Thanks, it’s looking like I’ll be doing a reset. It looks like grub-btrfs creates its own entries and points towards the boot directory within the /.snapshot/ directory, completely ignoring my boot partitions current files.

Ubuntu was never my first choice but was necessary for using my arc380 with plex transcoding. Might as well take this opportunity to move back to debian with bookworm. Only trouble is I would prefer a 6.2 over 6.1 kernel distribution, and while I enjoy arch on my laptops, I’m not sure I’d want to update my server so frequently.

hamsteronvase , to nostupidquestions in We're growing quite fast! Let's discuss our future and what you'd like us to do. [META]

I would suggest an FAQ for newbies, since so many are flooding in (like me). Too big a burden for a few sysadmins or mods, so I would suggest you crowd-source it. If Lemmy has wiki-like capabilities, you could use those. Or as a last resort, you could use the actual en.wikipedia.org. This is my first day here, and I’ve read tons but I feel as though I’m lost and without a map.

eruchitanda , to linux in Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?
@eruchitanda@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe give an immutable OS, like Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite a try?

The idea is that it’s very hard to break the system, because apps are containerized, so they don’t ‘touch’ the system, and updates take effect only on reboots.

If update is broken, it won’t apply. And you can always rollback to previous state, if you don’t like something.

You don’t need to install stuff from the terminal, and you can install them from a GUI ‘store’.

I think the main issue with those is that flatpaks dont play nice with development tools, or cli tools.

If you use those you have to use container workarounds, which annoy some people, myself included.

Many (most?) Windows users find Windows to be frustrating. I find Gentoo to be extremely frustrating a lot of times. Frustration doesn’t really drive people away from tools that are necessary to them.

cybersandwich ,

Semi related…

What in the ever loving fuck has windows done with saving files? Saving a document on windows is unnecessarily complicated now. It obfuscates where it’s actually saving. One drive documents? My documents on my computer?? Who fucking knows. And tue file explorer tree is ridiculous and unhelpful.

BrazenSigilos , to mildlyinfuriating in Billion $ net worth company creating kickstarter...

I thought the whole point of a kickstarter was people with a product, but lacking the funds to get the project actually going getting a kick start to get going… Not for billion dollar companies to beg for cash.

Yeah, that’s what it used to be. Unfortunately, there has been a concerning trend in large companies using crowdfunding platforms as a way to measure market interest in a product before putting in the effort time and money needed for the old R&D process. It pays to check on the company or business for a Kickstarter before backing. Unfortunately it seems alot of folks use Kickstarter as a sort of shopping cart for new stuff, rather then a way to fund the future additions and innovation to an industry they care about. I fell for that a bit at first, but I’ve learned to ignore the FOMO.

Thanks. It shouldn’t be long before I start considering the APIs stable enough that I can maybe reach out to the 3rd party app devs and then maybe who knows…

ystael , to gaming in What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?

I’m surprised not to see any of the Monster Hunter games yet! Maybe that’s because most MH soundtracks are more a collection of individual themes than a unified soundtrack for a world, but a lot of those tracks are pretty great.

I don’t know whether it is considered polite to link to youtube recordings of tracks here. My particular favorites from World are all zone themes: “Rulers of the Wildspire”, “Dancer in the Coral Highlands”, “Roars across the Hinterlands”. You hear these tunes a lot - whenever you’re fighting something in that zone that doesn’t have its own theme - so they’d better be good. Fortunately almost all of them live up to that standard!

astromd , to gaming in Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 16th

Stardew Valley. But I’m trying to decide if I want to buy a console to play Hogwarts Legacy.

fellicious ,
@fellicious@kbin.social avatar

I don't know what you expect from hogwarts legacy, but heres my 2 cents.

If you come for a Hogwarts lifesim, a sort of Bully but set in Hogwarts, with the feeling of attending the school and classes, and take part in school life and interacting with other students, dont buy a console for Hogwarts Legacy.
All these parts are severely underdeveloped and dissapointing. While there are many students standing about all the time, you will only interacty with anyone when a quest requires you to. 90% of npcs you will meet twice: when they give you a quest, and a secend time when you return to them to finish the quest.

If you come to Hogwarts Legacy for a decent action game (i wouldnt call it a rpg, there are numbers involved, but they are absolutly meaningless) with huge collections to aquire, and the pretty, Harry Potter flavoured, visuals, then you will have fun with the game. But maybe don't buy a console just for Hogwarts.

astromd ,

Thanks for the feedback. I was sort of looking for that experience of being a student with some adventure alongside. I’ll have to think some more about this!

It sounds like you have the time to diagnose Linux issues, that’s my main holdup. Even basic stuff takes a lot of time to learn since there’s often not a simple gui to toggle a setting and see if it fixes an issue.
