Whatever you do. Full backup first 👍🏻😉
Personally, I’d go with the clean Fedora install on the new drive and copy your data over as someone else mentioned, then expand Windows once you 100% happy with it.
(I did something similar with WinXP years ago… eventually dropping Windows, so that harddrive just became a data drive)
Follow the videos, the original developer shows what it can do, but it’s basically running keylogger software.
It’s come quite a way… O.MG Cable
Just a cable… complete with wifi man-in-the-middle abilities
I mean, from an engineering point of view, hats off to the guy… I know how much effort would’ve gone into that…
But like one of the YT comments implied; if I tried that in my home, I’d be living in my shed.
I agree with this point: age isn’t the measure of usefulness, popularity is
Something might be 10yrs old and uaed by many people… and also something 10 months old is no longer used.
Also, just a thought, if it’s “old” it’s probably a standard too, so probably doesn’t actually need much (relative term) effort to maintain…
I didn’t know this was a thing
Got to admit it’s quite close to the start date / time to be deciding on a design now - unless I’ve misunderstood?
Yes, because the CLI command is poweroff, so I do agree with you 🙂
(Please Wait… comments about alternative CLI commands will arrive soon…)
Checkout big-launcher:
big-launcher is a work-in-progress HTPC application launcher. The design is loosely based on the Roku UI, consisting of a sidebar menu on the left, and selectable apps on the right. This project is intended to be the successor to my other HTPC project, Flex Launcher. Compared to Flex Launcher, big-launcher will be more graphically advanced, but less customizable. The program will be written in C++ and utilize SDL for graphics.
I just read about it from the Flex Launcher page, so no idea what it’s like, just passing it on…
Yeah, that was me a couple years ago… I’d read some blogs, watched some yoochoobz and had data going from my NAS to Backblaze… encrypted…so… ok… is it restorable? No idea.
the recent influx of so-called ‘immutable’ distros springing up like mushrooms is undeniably linked to and inspired by NixOS.
This is the usual (only?) solution - the idea forks or inspires a different community to take it further.
There’s usually no fixing a toxic person / community in either real life or online.
If you like music have a look at
No, you can jusy restore to a second location…it depends on whether everything was backed up, or just a few test files.
I prefer backing up specific folders rather than “everything”, so it’s easier to test. (I’d just reinstall the OS if that was nuked)
Let’s say I want to do a test restore of all my photos. I just rename that folder to simulate that it’s been accidentally deleted… then I just do a normal restore - and do a bit-by-bit comparison of the two folders and check it all went well.
Also setup a bootable USB stick with a backup program like clonezilla to do full machine backups.
You’ll get the hang of OS vs data backups later, but for now, do a full backup, play around installing / removing stuff and if you break it, you’re back in business in no time
I think the main thing is for you to try doing a test restore of your data before you need to (and you already have a local backup anyway if your test goes wrong)
That will give you a better understanding of the whole process - they might be 100% reliable in storing data which is totally unusable by you because you’ve lost your decryption key, weren’t backing it up correctly, etc (for example).
Ooh, nice, I didn’t know them - thanks!
Thanks, good to know… although I’ll do one other thing first… a full backup with clonezilla first ;)
That’s comforting to know.
I have kinda the opppsite: a machine that isn’t changing it’s hardware, but it hasn’t had updates in ~2 years (due to some issues with an AUR package back then…)
I wonder if it’ll upgrade…?
I’ve kept arch-keyring updating now & again… so it should work, but I know packages change dependencies so, it’ll be an interesting one (ie full backup first)
Do you have any other hardware between computer & monitor? (Ie a KVM Switch?)
The other post about display ID jogged my memory that KVMs (etc) don’t pass through the data (sometimes?), so just wondering whether there’s another factor here…
Not sure how it would only trigger this on updates, but just building a complete picture of the issue.
If you do find their site works on a other browser (and I mean, the browser, not due to an addon, etc.) then complain to the company / bank / etc.
If they take your complaint seriously then I’d persevere with them… if they don’t then they’re not customer focused and your business (money) goes elsewhere.
I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then… I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc… and it’s lackof progress was disappointing.
I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too…
