Does first partition has to be FAT32 in EFI system? in c/linux@lemmy.world
[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

The efi partition can generally be mounted anywhere, distros may expect it in a specific location.

The efi partition must be fat formatted.

I'm not sure if partition order matters, I think the main thing is setting the boot flag for the efi partition in the partition table.

Is this normal for domain name registrars to do. in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Some tlds require the owner to meet some legal requirements, like affiliation with a specific country. I've registered .us domains before without requests for ID but I did pay with a US based card.

Turning my printer on v. turning it off in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Idk, I recently started using a Canon printer and so far it's awesome, but it does warn against shutting it off improperly after it gets powered back on. I assume it cleans and parks the print head or something... But really I have no idea what it's doing all that gnashing for.

On the plus side it's been saying it's out of ink... But let's me keep printing and so far there's plenty of ink left.

What the heck is this trash shipping with firefox? about:compat (lemmy.world)

Visit about:compat in your firefox. I find it insane that these exist.

Edit: I've learned that this is part of the webcompat system addon developed by Mozilla and other contributors. I see why this is beneficial default behavior, since FF has no chance of getting enough market share to matter more if things are broken.

However, this behavior is too intrusive for my taste. For example this injection: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/8a4afb4d34f8/browser/extensions/webcompat/injections/js/bug1472075-bankofamerica.com-ua-change.js is basically just to silence annoying user reports.

Also, Every site FF pretends to be a different UA on is artificially reducing FF market share data.

What is going on with /sys/kernel/notes ? (lemmy.world)
 

Any thoughts on why cat /sys/kernel/notes gives me:

Help w/ crash (lemmy.world)
 

Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.

Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)

let's play make more space on / (lemmy.world)
 

I have the unique pleasure of waiting as /usr is copied back to my Ubuntu SSD after offloading it to a sea of spinning rust to save some space. Surprise surprise Ubuntu keeps almost everything in /usr these days and it didnt boot :l but hey, at least BusyBox in initramfs has my back for times like these. Can i mount a specific ext4 directory with options? the issue seems to be my attempt at using a bind mount fails while running from the ramdisk, for whatever reason it wont mount my large data drive on /data
