mm I'll try to give Moonpie's your guide a go in a VM

• Edit: oh lol/derp I somehow missed that moonpie is you😂, having a real brainfart it seems

reading their your guide I saw on the bottom

"Arch’s PKGBUILD, makepkg, and patch tools to patch the grub_efi_get_secureboot function of sb.c "

so I took a look at the repo and found: grub-install on EFI if forced #141 which was merged on Nov 13, 2023.

• not sure if this is relevant but thought I'd share what I've found

anyways thanks for your comment and I also appreciate the helpful links

thank you!🤗

*removed externally hosted image*

got no break, needed to do it after class at home
fuck those thieves and hope Salal implements better security practices

That's incredibly fucked up

Since I happened to get a scholarship I'd be willing to provide $200 CAD for investigative and recollection services

hope whoever stole the server gets life in prison

Edit:
I don't really have time to manage a gofundme as my course is already trying to bury me alive so I'm gonna make an anonymous donation of 200 during my break tomorrow, I'll post the proof in the same post as a separate comment post

From the BTRFS manual:

"Nodatacow implies nodatasum, and disables compression."

"Datasum implies datacow"

Based on these notes I'd assume that since swapfile disables COW that it also disables checksumming which is where the risk of fragmentation occurs

I could be wrong tho

Make a subvolume only for the swapfile.

doesn't this kinda defeat the purpose/benefits of using a swapfile?

This is true for all files. Is it a bigger problem for swap?

specificly swapfiles yes, for swap partitions nope

How long ago did you have these issues?

Dec 2022, was still using and testing with swapfiles then and said fuck it as it caused too much problems.

I can't rule out user error till I retest and strictly "follow the guide to the T" as I made modifications while following the same Arch guide for swapfile with BTRFS

edit:
also for clarification, I'm still not sure which one is optimal/best as I initially thought that using swapfile was forward thinking for the future, I'm using and recommending swap partitions as it seems to be the easiest to implement once and use continuously without any problems atm.

my method for running Android apps on my distro is to run an Android 9.0-r2 VM on QEMU/KVM via virt-manager

maybe this might work for you?

here's a guide I found for setting up Virt-manager on Ubuntu

and here's a vid for setting up Android x86 on Virt-manager

• not sure if this is the exact same vid I used but it should suffice

hope this works/fits your use case!

As swap is recommended just in case all RAM is maxed it's better to have a swap partition as swap files have certain limitations when in combined use with BTRFS:

• "subvolume - cannot be snapshotted if it contains any active swapfiles"
• has a chance to fragment
• has issues with hibernation (that I've personally encountered multiple times)

here's the link for more info: https://man.archlinux.org/man/btrfs.5#SWAPFILE_SUPPORT

after switching to a swap partition with BTRFS I've experienced no issues for a user configuration

Fuck yeah Konsi!😁

NOICE👌

monkey's paw eh

I can see the logic in this:

if you believe everything is good then there's nothing you need to do,

whereas if you see the world as it is or with a pessimistic perspective then you're probably more likely to seek out knowledge to better prepare for yourself

modulo

pseudocode:

if number % 2 == 0
  return "number is even" (is_num_even = 1 or true)
else
  return "number is odd" (is_num_even = 0 or false)

plus you'd want an input validation beforehand

Ayyyyyyy more Konsi🎉

honestly these small comic lifts my spirits greatly after working and smashing my head against my React Native app (for 4 hours straight) it should just work but it doesn't

anyways welcome back and thanks for the mood booster!!🤗

I'll probably ask for some help on the community🤗 once my exams are finished in December🥲

And a mindful eye on the weekly forecast

with the climate I'm in, I'll def have to check the weather before sending plants👌

done!

yooooo

if that works that's pretty swag👌

I'd be down🤗
although I'm not sure how I'd swap as most of my plants are root-based cuttings😅

This seems like a great idea!

Encountering bugs is always frustrating experience especially for beginners

and I also agree with roadrunner_ex as this post is definitely relevant here👍

oh my god well that's fucking horrifying

I'm reminded of Grady's recent vid where he states: "As they say, most codes and regulations are written in blood." - How Much Is a Human Worth? (according to engineers)

Does anyone know if the drivers are open source?

I've heard conflicting claims online and I saw that Phoronix states that they are but their article doesn't provide any sources backing up that claim

ah I wouldn't give the troll too much attention

I get more mental damage from [realizing self-made past mistakes] in comparison to [a random downvote]

but anyways thanks for the kind comment!🤗🍀
