  • 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














  • 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)






  • 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
