yeah, you need some help

🤡

On serious note, have you by any chance somehow saved the previous start and end values? Like in history of the shell, terminal or even a piece of paper?
I’ve found out in the past, that if you recreate the partition table as it was, the data will be read fine

Otherwise, you might need to use RescueCd to try and get the partition borers back. But if you haven’t rebooted since that fateful keypress, first focus on trying to get to what partition borders were printed in the terminal earlier. IMO it will be the fastest and easiest
Even if you will get those in cylinders and will have to calculate those back to MBs

I don’t think they do, honestly. Being rich does not necessarily mean being smart

And those who pay for not being brought up on the lists of most rich, probably don’t use tech themselves

Their wealth comes from stocks, bonds and land, not an account that can be hacked. Their safety against kidnapping for ransom comes from being pals with most of politicians and/or having clout in the right circles to help any politician that will ping high enough to be allowed to get an appointment

I don’t mean to pry but I’m curious where are you hosting this?

I envy that people host their projects. But I feel a lot of unease about opening ports to a machine that is tied to a check I’ll receive. Hence I’m curious which service you’ve chosen

fascism is capitalism showing its teeth, like what trump is doing more overtly now

AFAIK that is not the definition of fascism

But I’ve seen a TikTok of someone who is studying politcal doctrines (IDR if their level was Major or PHD) and what is currently going on was ticking off all the boxes

stderr=failed to create tun device: Operation not permitted

you probably don’t have permissions to create such device. BTW, afaik a bridge will make the vm get the traffic on the same IP, creating a separate IP for VM will probably be something else. And might require some iptables setup so your host machine relays the traffic

To example.com?

Huh. Maybe it does exist

What kind of weird spam is this? There is temp-mail.org, and description matches. But the name is wrong

It seems to be working with Pronton

Install Steam client, log in and download it there. Even if you connect Lutris to you Steam account, AFAIK, the way Lutris launches those is just launching Steam

When catching up with hardware performance for Linux gaming, I always browse phoronix, try to find a few comparisons from different years to see how the card looked like in comparison to other options. There might be some sleepers now no-one remembers about, that you magically have an option to buy. Think which game in the comparisons might have similar requirements to what you want to play and see how the card/cpu did on the settings you find agreeable/non-agreeable/perfect

Don’t go into its forum, though. There be dragons

Maybe recently it started to change with NVIDIA opening their drivers but for years we’ve been second class citizens for them. Personally I say “fuck NVIDIA”

If you decide to go AMD, definitely explore the landscape of fan controllers. I use corectl but maybe you would prefer something else (this is Arch wiki, but should be fine for other distros too)

Weak article

But to rescue the topic: yes, technically it could spy you and upload hashes of each 5 seconds of your mic into a datastore for recognition. But why do it in such a long and pricy way when the ads suppliers (one fo them being google) have all your demographics they need? And sometimes even know if a click on an ad banner resulted in a purchase. And that way don’t have to recognize if that was you talking, someone on the street or their own ad

Even using anonymized discount loyalty cards fuels the recognition which ad to push your way

Most of distros use the same projects code-wise, some just add some patches or lag months behind. I mean, it doesn’t really matter, just do it. You’ll either be happy with anything or outgrow whatever you pick up now. And either sooner or later land using one that you will decide is absolutely the best, or just have vague preferences in the end
But it’s the journey that does it, not a particular distro

I also switched to scripts. Aliases tend to break in loops with modified IFS

I think that having any kind of recognizable email is against the idea of privacy. So I would set up the following layering:

1. Mozilla Relay/TempMail (randomized email accounts)
   for most of shops, job applications, etc. If it leaks you can easily disable the account and/or rotate it on periodic basis to limit the cross-database matching (the privacy part)
2. a few separate domains for things where you can’t stop receiving mails or having an account is really worth it

• one for banks
• one for government
• one for the few shops where the first layer is not enough
• one for private exchange

1. the provider that can change

No, on work laptop

“Tell me it’s Friday without saying it’s Friday” ;)

But to the point, yeah, my current job tried to convince me to switch to Windows. I tried, it was miserable experience, it broke in 3 days and all that was even before the current Windows ludicrousness

FWIW, I have never managed to achieve that fluently. To elegantly switch from “sitting around, planning” to interacting with the world. Retrospections are the only way that works for me

I think that also depends on the tools/rules you can use. If I feel that this unicorn ranch is something only one character is interested in, I would propose a clock. We decide what they want to achieve in the end, efforts are a personal project with one roll per session/adventure, the spotlight can be kept short (remember, one roll in a while). And who knows? Maybe there will be a hook or mcguffin for me to use later on?

I hope it’s ok that I don’t put links. I think the ones that are from blogs should be easily found

• Lazy GM - creates a habit of loosely planning the plot, so you can have a bag of things to use, without having to railroad, and changing the plan because of players’ actions doesn’t hurt
• don’t plan plots, plan obstacles - when you get into the habit of thinking what could be an obstacle in a situation, you don’t have the game to go this or that way. You only switch between applicable obstacles
• onion plots - “who needs what, what for, but they can’t because of what”. That way coming up with a follow up is easier
• run combat like a dolphin - mainly, remember to describe things. Yes, I have to actively remember about doing that
• stars and wishes - to me this is the most constructive form of after session summary. If I ask “what you didn’t like?” (roses and thorns), to me it is not clear how to improve. When it’s about “what you wish/wished for?” it’s much easier to decide whether there was a problem with expectation management or maybe a cool idea that I passed up
• yes and+no but - mainly, even if we are playing a more trad game, I don’t ask for a roll if I (the plot, of course ;) ) need the thing to happen. I ask for it to answer an additional question “will the character do this well enough to uncover additional details?”. Unless we are in a simulationist wounds&initiative combat, the roll to me is a plot device, not plain success/failure

And thing I came up on my own but might be only because how my mind works:
Do split the party
What I often do is present the obstacle, ask around what the characters are doing after learning that. Then I choose the sequence that I feel has the most meat on it - story to be told and go one by one. Even if an idea surprises me, I’ve found that by the time another player rolls their dice I already know what to do with the previous one. And when scenes have fewer participants, it’s easier to manage spotlight and have lower stakes per scene
