I left the last sentence open ended, for comedic effect, but if you really wanna know:

I transcoded videos with ffmpeg, and tried to exit out of the bash script with ctrl C. the script was something like:

for
    ffmpeg file finishedFile;
    rm file;

my ^C broke out only from ffmpeg and before I realized what happened the file got removed and the next ffmpeg call filled my terminal. I tought the key didn’t register, or something was stuck, so I pressed it again… and again… it cost like 45minutes of footage, wasn’t that important tho.

What an awesome tool that I wish I knew sooner. Also the && operator in sh. I think you can figure out what happened.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about large file sizes. How can you realistically reach 200GB in text? That’s around 2*10^11 characters. Or do you guys store something else as well, like sqls of data or pictures/textures/models?

What do you mean by “I’ll make sure they’ll answer them”? Are you a reporter? But if this is a bug report thread now, here I go:

I have and one of my friends had the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED mouse. It has a problem with it’s mouse wheel.

I’ve done the debugging a while back, but maybe I can get the logs again. Basically when using it wired it only uses the regular mouse wheel events, but when using it wireless (most of the time) it uses both highres mwheel events and regular ones. Confusing all apps. To add to this, the regular events seems to be simulated by software, based alongside every 5th (? maybe it was a long time ago) highres event. While at seemingly random times a full “click” of the mouse wheel just doesn’t register the required number of highres events, making the “normal” one also absent. I tough this was a hardware issue, as when it happens you can go back and forth and it won’t register it at all, however it doesn’t happen when pugged in.

This is probably some kernel issue if I’m being honest, all I know is that on Windows it works perfectly. But I am using KDE and I have not debugged this mouse on any other window manager.

I truly don’t know if this was the type of reply you were looking for, if not: Sorry for wasting your time. (There’s also a KDE bug when editing widgets or when turning the screen off and on, but that’s not input device so)

This would be an awesome lil feature

No problem, thanks for the help. Also I got news is that I don’t have to trust anyone with my laptop, I can keep it by my side after all. Still it’s a security mesure, that I didn’t solve in time. fun fact: LUKS on /home only breaks KDE. I really don’t want to give up kde tho, I put on sway, realised that I needed to memorise console commands to change my fking volumes, so no thank you. I got spoiled by sweet UIs. it’s so comfortable that everything is at one place.

cat ~/.config/startkderc returns systemdBoot=true. I’m guessing you made a typo and this is correct. In this case I guess it just doesn’t work on KDE, my next idea is LUKS on /home and hibernating instead of sleeping. Or I always wanted to try a tiling window manager… hm

In that case: maybe I’ll try it on the weekends, I heard it takes a while to run. Thanks for the toy :p

mine’s m.2 too. I tried systemd-homed, as of now it doesn’t work as it should. Next I’ll try disk/partition one but it’d be great to encrypt when sleeping, it’s fine if it’s hibernation

What I’m getting from this is badblocks isn’t a magical tool that makes all storage devices faster and better anymore. correct? The fact that modern storage devices do that is a bit scary. I’m guessing it’s firmware, no way to turn it off. And why would you, it helps you, just takes control away from you.

I wasn’t really trying to wipe my storage device, but to make it faster. However you said a bunch of interesting stuff, and I thank you for that.

Okay I just had a bit of freetime to test it: doesn’t work… if I log out or sleep, my home dir is still mounted. Meaning it’s as good as nothing. Looked at the plasma fix, didn’t work. I have a pretty good lead, that I need the topmost template from some wiki:

[Unit]
PartOf=graphical-session.target

Problem is, where in the world should I write this? I really don’t expect you to know, but maybe I’m talking to a genius. The internet didn’t help, or I used it wrong.

didn’t run a timer, it was still fast enough, but for turning it off and on every 5 minutes (or more realisticly hour)… I’d like the fastest possible. I’ll have fun with this badblocks, sounds OP af. However I don’t think it’s a good sign if this returns anything right? I could make it so the filesystem avoids that block, that is good and all, but doesn’t that means my SSD started “turning bad”. So either way I should get a new one? If one cell fails other will soon follow, and my data is lost, no?

Hehe, Thank you. But by the time I’m reading this I’ve already done it. Got stuck on a couple or roadblocks, but figured it out. I got scared when I didn’t “enable” the service just “start” it. I’m not safe(-ish enough). :D

edit: well not the plasma fix. wiki said if it’s a problem I need to start something, and that something should be on by default. So I didn’t do anything, maybe that’s a problem

I’m not planning on putting information on my laptop that I don’t have to. Speed for a bit of security sounds good. I’ll look into ecryptfs. And also into boot time, lots of you are screaming at me that it’s a fast laptop. what how

I bought it used, so I’m interested in your last point. I’ve reinstalled it - first thing I did. Do SSDs slow down overtime? And there is a linux command to fix that? Sound crazy, can you elaborate?

Oh, I think I’ll wipe my laptop, and do it live. What I wanted to ask was how do I know if it’s working?

Are the detectors part for real or were you just kidding? 😲

they got your back, why are you suprised?

Others also said systemd-homed. And it looks promising, I’ll try it, but honestly I have no idea how to test it? From another user? From a liveboot usb?

Detectors say that you are human, you use multiple languages, and you are a moderator, but it feels like a 101 AI response. It’s horrible that we’re living in an era where you need to be careful about this. You were probably trying to format it nice, but I’ve only read this phrasing from AI.

But thanks for the answer, the home folder would probably be best. I don’t want to think about it after setting it up. All my downloads and docs are there. I also feel like the whole filesystem would take forever for me to unlock/boot.

Sounds perfect. I’ll need more sources to understand what it’s doing and how to config it. Thanks!
