To be fair to Motörhead, they were drinking some beer that had umalats in the name, and just thought they looked cool, so they threw them in. The band had no idea that umalats denoted a difference in pronunciation.

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it's just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn't unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the "ca-certificates" package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it's not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn't match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won't claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it's on the "immutable" thing that's popular right now. I've tried a few immutable distros, and they're not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it's been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I'm kinda in btrfs' corner right now lol

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Yeah, my other drive is a 1TB HDD, and I do have all my media/documents/pictures/etc. there, I think what's filling up my drive is actually plugins for Ardour lol, plus I might have too many Things I Definitely Need™. Maybe the real solution to my storage problems is to look within... (like do I seriously need No Man's Sky installed all the time for the once every three months that I play it?)
But yeah, I wanna set up a NAS for this sort of thing, next time I have money lol

Since I posted it on the other two, here's the recap:
I woke up this morning and decided my main drive (just a 500GB SSD) was too full, at about 85%, so I decided to do something about that. I go through the usual: pacman -Sc
, paccache -rk0
, and pacman -Qqtd | pacman -Rns -
(which I've aliased to "orphankiller" because that's too much typing for me). None of that did anything though, as I'm usually pretty up on this, and I expected it, so my next step was to find other ways of deleting unnecessary files floating around, and that meant a trip to the usually very helpful Arch wiki.
On the page "pacman Tips and Tricks", I find 1.7: Detecting More Unneeded Packages. "Perfect!" I thought, "That's exactly what I'm looking for!" I enthusiastically type in the command pacman -Qqd | pacman -Rns -
, and then quickly go check how much space I just saved. Nada. Or at least not enough to move the percentage point. "Oh well, keep looking," I think and I go back to Firefox to click some more links in hopes that one of them will be the space saving ultra-script that I need. The first one I click, I get an error from my trusty browser, I don't remember exactly what it was but it was something about not being able to verify the page. "Weird, let's try another one." Nope, same thing.
Well, being that I had just deleted something, I figured I should go see what exactly it was that I did. It was a good thing I'd left the terminal window open, because after just a few scrolls I saw it: ca_certificates
, which Firefox absolutely needs. "Great, I'll just reinstall." Nope! I just deleted my pacman cache, and pacman also needs those certificates to download from the Arch repo's mirrors! "Fantastic," I grumbled while I tried to think of how I could get this pesky package back on my machine.
Then it occurred to me: I've been keeping up with my btrfs snapshots (for once, lol)! I can just backup to yesterday and forget this whole mess! So I bring up Timeshift, and we're on our way back to a functioning system! Or so I thought. See, I don't have a separate /home partition, but I do have a separate @home subvolume, so when Timeshift asked me if I wanted to restore that too, I clicked the check mark. Only thing is, I don't think I actually have a separate @home subvolume, which brings us to the error in the meme. /home wouldn't mount, and that meant I was borked.
Fortunately, our story has a happy ending! I DDG'd the error on my phone, and found a post from like seven years ago, about someone who had this same set of circumstances, and the one reply was my fix: just go into /etc/fstab
and delete the "subvolid" part of whatever partition that's giving you grief. Did that, reboot, and we're finally fixed! And now, forevermore, I shall check what I'm deleting before I hit the enter button!
The post-script is bittersweet though, because after all this trouble, and then the rest of the afternoon working on the original problem, I am down to... 81%. Oh well.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YBpXN6 I'll be using it mostly for gaming, possibly self-hosting various things as I think about them. I'd like it to be mildly future-proof, but I'd also like to cut the price down a bit. Right now it's going to cost basically my whole tax refund, and if possible, I'd like to save some of it to further my education. I'll be using Linux (don't know what distro yet, but that's another post for another /c/), hence the all-AMD build. Thanks in advance!
If anyone could tell me how to change the system font color, I'd be much obliged. *tips cowboy hat*
Came up with this during the two days I mistakenly tried to start a new career.
For backstory: My partner and I have been playing Super Mario Party so long that it's gotten boring. They asked me what I wanted for my birthday (which is coming up), and I thought something like that would be cool. If X-COM 2 had a local co-op on the Switch, I'd do that, but is there something similar?
I can see saved posts all day, but saved comments, well that's an issue. It was easy on the previous iteration, just wondering why I can't find it now.
On Boost for Reddit, this was the feature I liked the most. Is it just not implemented yet?
D... Do you have your passport?
I was gonna shout out everyone in this community, but I figured out that you were all sus, so this is the meme.
This is my first time posting from Boost, let's see how it goes...
My current "default home" when you open the app or click the home button is set to "Subscribed Top Six Hour". I would like to change that to "All Top Six Hour", but I can't seem to find where to do this. Android app, btw.
Basically title, every bit of online dating nowadays is either Match or Meta, and we're all about breaking corporate chains right? So these are the thoughts I had: 1. Matches based on simple user selection: age range, lifestyle, hobbies etc. None of that dumb algorithm stuff that makes you reset your profile every month. 2. ActivityPub protocol so that anyone can run their own instance, but can also be blocked if anything heinous happens. 3. E2EE for messaging (and anything else if it's possible). 4. Someone wrote an open-source anti-CSAM script for Lemmy recently, I hope we could adapt that to our use. 5. Just, like, everyone have a good time on this app, we're here for love lol I am not a coder, so I would have no idea how to do this, but I wonder about the interest in such a creation. Maybe some of you out there could make something I could use to get a date (pls).
Like the title says, I'm looking for a drummer that wants to join a weird rock band. I can't say who our influences will be, because we don't know yet! I want this band to be completely original, musically diverse, but with a pop sensibility so we can still get gigs lol. I know Dallas is all about the metal scene, but I (and the other band members we already have) are opposed to this, so if you're a metal guy, please apply! Musical diversity is the name of the game here. I'm a jazz/rock guy, our singer's an R&B guy from NYC, and we have a violinist who's classically trained but wants to venture into other avenues. We also need a bassist, because I want to play guitar for this project, but if we can't get anyone else then I guess I'll play bass FINE, ugh. Anyways, if you wanna get in touch about this, message me here! Thanks!
I wish I was just like them <3
