Nibodhika , to nostupidquestions in Why people say good morning (or something like that) on chat after a night?

It’s like, when I was a kid, having internet access to all human knowledge, anywhere, would have been a divine gift. Now we all have computers in our pockets and some people still argue about basic facts that can be resolved instantly. We treat technology very strangely.

That reminds me of a quote: Do you remember in the 90s when we thought the issue was lack of access to information? Nope, that wasn’t it.

Nibodhika , to nostupidquestions in Why people say good morning (or something like that) on chat after a night?

Here’s the thing, it is weird for today technology, because you never truly go away from the chatroom. But back in the IRC times joining a chatroom was very similar to entering a room, you would only see messages sending from then on, so if you wanted to keep track of a chat you were having after you left you needed to leave your computer connected and online, so it was impossible to know when someone was online and when they just had left the computer on to follow up on a thread that was happening when he went to sleep, so it was a common courtesy, just like saying hello when walking into a room. It was a way of telling people “I’am here now”, but most chatrooms today have an away status you can set.

I agree it doesn’t make sense on discord or whatever, which is why I don’t do it there. But it might be one of those things that people just keep perpetuating because it’s what they always did.

Nibodhika , to steamdeck in How does one add their purchases drm free content and games to steam and steam deck?

For games:

  1. Open desktop mode
  2. Install the game as you would normally on a Linux machine, i.e. if the game has a native installer use it, otherwise use wine, Lutris or whatever you’re used to run windows installer on Linux.
  3. Add non-steam game shortcut

For music I have never tried it.

Nibodhika , to linux in Ipod problems

Ah, sorry, your reply was 8 min after I sent the link which seemed awfully short to test the different approaches listed there, I assumed you hadn’t read it and just discarded for being a different distro. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

Nibodhika , to linux in Ipod problems

Other than the way you installed the packages there’s nothing intrinsically arch on that wiki. I recommend you read the page and see if it helps before assuming it doesn’t because you’re using a different distro, arch wiki is great even if you don’t use arch.

Nibodhika , to linux in Ipod problems

Never had an iPod, so I can’t really help you, but have you tried the arch wiki? wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPod

Nibodhika , to selfhosted in Review of LessPass?

I use it, but it has issues, for example you need to remember how you wrote the website name, and if you ever change your master password you need to change the password of every site, and if you must change the password of a single site, you need to remember the counter for each site.

It’s a cool idea, and worth it to generate passwords, but I would still advise to have other methods, and if you have those other methods it becomes kind of pointless. Still a very cool idea and very manageable for a low number of sites.

Nibodhika , to games in Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit

Others have explained to you why it’s different, and that that happened 2 years ago and a lot of things health related can change in that time. But even if he had done that yesterday, even if it was the same, he should be able to choose to attend remotely, he’s not asking to be excused, he’s not asking to change anything, all he’s asking is to be able to do it from his home, and I wouldn’t deny that to anyone unless there’s a reason to be physically there, which there isn’t.

Nibodhika , to linux_gaming in Question about Steam Deck vs Gaming PC

Also I seem to remember doing the same on my Deck a while back, possibly he also did it there but forgot about it since this is a do once and never again thing.

Nibodhika , to nostupidquestions in If there was an afterlife, how would it work?
  1. Most religions that believe in reincarnation believe people can be reincarnated as animals, which would also mean animals can be reincarnated into humans. There are a lot more humans now, but also a lot less bisons and dodos.
  2. It’s very small thinking that earth is the only planet with life, what’s to say that souls don’t reincarnate from one planet to another?
  3. Most religions that talk about reincarnation mention a dimension above time when you’re not incarnated, as such it might be possible for a soul to reincarnate at the same time it’s already incarnated. In fact certain religions take this to an extreme of saying we’re all the same.

There are plenty of rational answers to that problem.

Nibodhika , to linux in Which Desktop / Window Manager is most secure?

If you’re going to be that level of paranoid might as well not have graphical interface at all.

Nibodhika , to linux in Fixed Arch install error

His fstab says rw, and the example I sent for refind config also has rw on the first option. You can definitely boot systemd on ro, I’ve done that in the past when I had some issue (can’t remember what exactly). The error he’s having happens because when you generate the refind config inside the arch live image it adds the UUID of the root of the live iso to the boot parameters, so when it tries to boot from there it can’t find the drive with that UUID, ergo the message with an empty string where it should have the drive. The solution is to simply change that to the name of the drive where you have your root. I do that almost every time I install arch because I always forget about this quirk from refind.

Nibodhika , to linux in Fixed Arch install error

Did you confirm that the file existed before editing? And that you were mounting the correct boot and not root partition?

I don’t know what else it can be if that doesn’t solve it.

Nibodhika , (edited ) to linux in Fixed Arch install error

Ok, if I understood correctly your fstab what you should do is:

  1. Boot the live iso
  2. Run mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt
  3. run nano /mnt/refind_linux.conf
  4. Alter the file so it says this:

<span style="color:#323232;">"Boot with standard options"  "rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p2"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">"Boot to single-user mode"    "rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p2 single"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">"Boot with minimal options"   "ro root=/dev/nvme0n1p2"
</span>
  1. Save and close
  2. Unmount the drive umount /mnt
  3. Reboot

That should work

Edit: noticed my disk was 1 while yours is 0, didn’t remembered I had two ssds on that machine hahahah

Edit2: check that the file exists in /mnt, it should if you ran refind-install the first time.

Nibodhika , to linux in Fixed Arch install error

Every time I made this mistake I booted again the live iso, mounted the boot drive and edit it.

Edit: you can also just edit the entry on refind directly to boot once on a correct config, and then fix it inside your actual system. The error is that the root filesystem will have an uuid that relates to the live iso image, not to your actual system.
