  • I’d 100% terrorize you with tape around my fingers. Idk how to describe it, if I touch you with it, it makes the sensation that I stuck something to you, but it’s still on my finger. I love how mad ppl went searching their backs for a note (like “kick me” or something)… but there was never anything there.

    hm… am I a bully? (yes.) Whatever it was fun. After I tought them what I did (and how) and they mischievously thanked me.


  • I left the last sentence open ended, for comedic effect, but if you really wanna know:

    I transcoded videos with ffmpeg, and tried to exit out of the bash script with ctrl C. the script was something like:

    for
        ffmpeg file finishedFile;
        rm file;
    

    my ^C broke out only from ffmpeg and before I realized what happened the file got removed and the next ffmpeg call filled my terminal. I tought the key didn’t register, or something was stuck, so I pressed it again… and again… it cost like 45minutes of footage, wasn’t that important tho.







  • No problem, thanks for the help. Also I got news is that I don’t have to trust anyone with my laptop, I can keep it by my side after all. Still it’s a security mesure, that I didn’t solve in time. fun fact: LUKS on /home only breaks KDE. I really don’t want to give up kde tho, I put on sway, realised that I needed to memorise console commands to change my fking volumes, so no thank you. I got spoiled by sweet UIs. it’s so comfortable that everything is at one place.





  • What I’m getting from this is badblocks isn’t a magical tool that makes all storage devices faster and better anymore. correct? The fact that modern storage devices do that is a bit scary. I’m guessing it’s firmware, no way to turn it off. And why would you, it helps you, just takes control away from you.

    I wasn’t really trying to wipe my storage device, but to make it faster. However you said a bunch of interesting stuff, and I thank you for that.


  • Okay I just had a bit of freetime to test it: doesn’t work… if I log out or sleep, my home dir is still mounted. Meaning it’s as good as nothing. Looked at the plasma fix, didn’t work. I have a pretty good lead, that I need the topmost template from some wiki:

    [Unit]
    PartOf=graphical-session.target
    

    Problem is, where in the world should I write this? I really don’t expect you to know, but maybe I’m talking to a genius. The internet didn’t help, or I used it wrong.
