Congratulations 🎉 Nice work figuring it out.
Gotta love the idea that when you uninstall a package all the packages that depend on it must be removed for consistency.
Out of curiosity, what were you looking to gain from the pipewire upgrade?
Lmao he did it again
ddrescue is probably your best bet
dd is the simplest: dd if=/path/to/disk/device of=/path/to/backup/file but it may fail with a broken device. ddrescue is similar but handles io errors appropriately and can retry bad reads.
ChromeOS does this well because it’s android, a walled garden that users aren’t allowed to break. You can buy it at Walmart, and it works well.
Other big “consumer” distro projects (Debian, Ubuntu, fedora, rhel, etc) are similar, especially if you’re installing stable releases on hardware that is supported.
The question for me is what do users want their OS to do? My guess is internet, office, print, scan, photos, games, updates, and get out of the way. Almost all big distros will give you that experience already, as long as you don’t expect to play Windows games or pick a specialized gaming distro.
Users who want to step outside using supported repos are back to googling for a solution when things are broken, and should see themselves as part of the tech-savvy group that need to fend for themselves.
Idk why I feel compelled to add this info, but / doesn’t have to be local as long as the necessary kernel modules for mounting it are available in the initrd or built into the kernel.
For me it’s I can make Linux do this when I see another system perform well, in contrast with they took my vertical taskbar in windows 11 and I have to gut the system to get it back
I do have to remind myself that I’m still used to living in a world where Linux enjoyed immunity to most “consumer” malware just because it wasn’t a popular desktop. Ultimately Linux is not more secure than any other system unless someone put in the work to make it that way.
That makes sense, I was thinking the executable is crashing without any output because something is wrong with the libraries available or executable itself. I should have made it clear that I don’t use jellyfin and the steps above are general debugging advice for applications that crash immediately.
For possibly more information on why the core is dumping (lol) try running jellyfin from the cli (probably just typing the path to the jellyfin executable and pressing enter)
If nothing interesting is printed, try adding strace before the jellyfin executable (Google strace, it intercepts all system calls and logs them) if that doesn’t work tell strace to follow forks.
Other than that you could start using binary debugging tools to see what shared libraries jellyfin is looking for? Maybe run it in gdb…
Parquet 4 eva
Csv is for arcane software or if you don’t know where it’s going.
Hdf5 is for Matlab interoperability
Otherwise I use parquet (orc could also work, but I never actually use it). Sometimes parquet has problems with Pandas or polars but I’ve always been able to fix it by using pyarrow
Maybe it “worked” enough for the execs to realize it was a mistake?
Sounds like you may want to run chrome in docker or try using nix. Nix won’t clean up your user data automatically but with a few tweaks could do it easily. Docker will completely prevent files from hanging around (if you don’t mount your home directory in the container), but if you want to download files to your host is its a bit tricky.
Can you try booting with acpi=off boot parameter? (Edit the boot commands in the bootloader before it loads the kernel, it’s temporary)
Related: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html
If that works you can add the option permanently in your configuration.nix
Alternatively, just open all the ports?
Muahaha now I can prepare for my final form: crotchety old man complaining about how they killed off the control panel.
Why not try /dev/urandom?
😹
Lol what has more of an attack surface: CUPS or a reactos VM?
