Yes, but is that really what you intended at the time? 😉

*poor

They didn't try to claim. They claimed.

Do you still want to criticize a 2L speaker's English grammar?

So that's what they look like inside!

Oh yes, I tried testing my Clonezilla restore on an older laptop, but after logging in, the keyboard and trackpad stopped working. I wondered if that was a hardware incompatibility problem, since the keyboard and trackpad worked fine at the greeter screen. 🤷

Indeed, I have a lot of redundancy for critical documents, including a restic backup to Blackblaze and many many git repositories. What I don't have is the "Get back to work quickly when the internal drive dies" that SuperDuper gave me on my Mac. That's the missing piece I'd like.

And, as you noticed, since I was struggling with testing the Clonezilla backup, I couldn't possibly trust it. Now, at least, I have a plan.

And yes, I have onsite backups, offsite backups, and a succession plan.

That depends on whom you ask. 🤷 And how eager are you to live in a remote community?

The word they meant to use is "carelessly". We would also have accepted "inattentively".

Thank you. Of the folks who have engaged me over the past few years trying to find an adequate backup system, you're the first to tell me that I'm indeed not missing anything and that this cannot be made to work the way I'm expecting. I find that comforting.

Now I have a way to move forward: to back up a 1 TB drive, I can partition a 2 TB drive in half, back up to an image on one, restore that image to the other, chroot, and check that that worked.

Wasteful, but workable.

Thank you.

Shithole country.

People like work. People rarely get to work at job. Result? People hate job.

Gib better job!

 

I'd love to say this was intentional, but no.

 

I run a lemp10. I saw a notification of a firmware update, but when I applied the update---apparently successfully---the firmware version did not change. Now I see no pending firmware update.

What happened? Is this normal? Task failed successfully?!

 

... men jag minns inte varifrån jag känner igen den.

 

I tried to upgrade my recovery partition today and it failed with "No such device"/OS error 19.

I found this discussion on Reddit in which @mmstick suggested restarting, but with no explanation as to why that was needed or would work. It worked for me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/xun8vu/error_updating_recovery_partition_no_such_device/

I'd like to know why it worked and why it was needed, mostly for two reasons: to generally understand the situation better and to imagine what I might have been able to do that didn't require restarting.

Thanks.
