Yeah you gotta disable bitlocker.

You gotta have your ~/ashdkeuh/

Especially for systems remotely managed by ssh:

~/Desktop/stuff/mystuff/junk/funny/

Sid is a real pain in the butt.

Good looking out. I only saw the one inline with your post body.

You’re on sid, using cosmic and have a read only root filesystem. Is there anything else out of the ordinary with your computer? You replied to another post that you removed additional repos from sources but did you get the ones in sources.d/?

E: sources.list.d, not sources.d

I gotta ask this:

What’s the output of apt —fix-broken install, like the big red error message suggests?

I also gotta ask:

What distribution and release?

First of all: get rid of the broken ones. You’re not doing anything with the running systems, so there’s no need to hang on to the ones that don’t run.

Next, make a list of the things you want to do and start doing them.

If you’re worried about power consumption, don’t be. If you’re still worried about power consumption, get an inline watt meter (a kill-a-watt), take some measurements, do the math and feel at ease. If you don’t feel at ease, look up wake on lan. You can have powered down computers turn back on when they get a packet so you don’t need to worry about power consumption.

When you feel like you’ve done enough stuff, get rid of the computers you’re not using.

Atop, btop, htop, top.

If that’s not good enough sar.

If that’s not good enough, set up cacti.

When you realize none of that stuff is actually helping you, journalctl and grep.

Don’t worry about swap, you’ll be fine unless you’re usually working with huge chunks of data like big 4k video files or something.

The firewall built into mint is the kernels included nftables the same one built into Debian and Ubuntu (I think, I don’t fw Ubuntu). It’s fine. Don’t touch it. When you need to mess with it you can figure out how to open ports or split routes or whatever really easy because there’s lots of documentation out there.

Putting everything in your home folder is fine. Programs will install automatically to /bin or /usr/bin or something like that and if you want them in your home directory you could make a ~/.bin/ directory and add it to your path and have your private programs there, but:

Stop using flatpaks or snaps unless it’s your only choice! You have a built in package manager with decades of testing and development behind it and a very capable team of maintainers who watch over the packages, use that instead! That’s why they say not to use the snap store, it’s a vector for using Joes Weird Program that no one has tried before and requires Joes Special Version of a normal system library.

Use your package manager.

You’re not at the point where you understand enough to do the stuff in the linux hardening guide without making decisions that unexpectedly cause you pain somehow. That’s not an insult, sometimes you just don’t recognize the “universal” symbols for engine oil as opposed to coolant and ruin your car by the side of the road because you just don’t know. You can learn that stuff later, but it’s best not to mess with it yet. Speaking of:

If you don’t have a backup solution setup and you haven’t recovered using it and aren’t periodically checking to make sure it’s still running right, turn off disk encryption. It’s much harder, sometimes impossible, to recover data off an encrypted disk. If you don’t have a backup and you don’t know how you’d access the files on the disk without booting the computer then turn disk encryption off.

Do update first, do dist-upgrade.

Stop using kali.

If it sounds like data access and not a failure, be at peace my brother, hard drives are at least as complicated as your computer and just do things sometimes.

Kokoro claims to have Spanish. Here’s a link to the voices list and flags from their page:

“I don’t want to”

Shrink the partition with the iso dd’d into it and partition and mkfs the resulting space.

Upnp is not recommended for router and switch setup, it’s the normal way for devices on the local network to advertise and discover each others functionality though and is definitely the way off the shelf doodads do it.

It’s like how anyone in the house can open the refrigerator door but people outside can’t.

Over the past five or so years I’ve been regressing my own linux problem solving and question answering process back to a combination of first party documentation and directly observed results.

It’s been a long strange trip, but I think the days of being able to “just google it” are officially over.

So based on both the man page and your findings, it’s safe to assume that the medium article is wrong.

We both see different behavior than what it suggests and that behavior is in alignment with a different, trustworthy source of documentation!

Just try it out?

From the curl man page: -x

Oh shit, you’re right! I assumed the op was trying the same thing on smb and nfs.

Do you think it needs the “soft” option which makes data loss a possibility.
