I can feel the RSI coming by just looking at it; i don't even want to think about how long it took to draw all the details

brokenlcd , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in Do you prefer the headphone jack to be at the top or at the bottom on a phone, and why?

To be honest i'd prefer it to be there at all considering the current trend of removing it.

But to answer your question, jack on top, so when the phone is plugged in the wall you can stay on the other side since the headphone cable wont be bent

brokenlcd , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?

brokenlcd , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to Asklemmy in chmod -R hit me, again... Anyone else who faced these sys-admin woopsies?

The problem is that i didn't mean to write to the hdd, but to a usb stick; i typed the wrong letter out of habit from the old pc.

As for the hard drives, I'm already trying to do that, for bigger files i just break them up with split. I'm just waiting until i have enough disks to do that.

brokenlcd , 3 months ago to Asklemmy in chmod -R hit me, again... Anyone else who faced these sys-admin woopsies?

I'm trying to do that; but all of the newer drives i have are being used in machines, while the ones that arent connected to anything are old 80gb ide drives, so they aren't really practical to backup 1tb of data on.

For the most part i prevented myself from doing the same mistake again by adding a 1gb swap partition at the beginning of the disk, so it doesn't immediatly kill the partition if i mess up again.

brokenlcd , 3 months ago to Asklemmy in chmod -R hit me, again... Anyone else who faced these sys-admin woopsies?

Unfortunately to do backups i need the money to buy a drive to do backups on; most of my pcs are literally made out of scrap parts from broken machines.

brokenlcd , 3 months ago to Asklemmy in chmod -R hit me, again... Anyone else who faced these sys-admin woopsies?

More than a sys admin thing is a general linux user thing; i switched from an emmc computer with no drives marked as sdx; to one with nvme and hdd; i was used to my old pc where sda was whatever usb stick i plugged in; and i used dd with sda1... I nuked 1tb of data and i am still running photorec to try and recover something at least; fml.

brokenlcd , 4 months ago to Houseplants in (reliable) Humidifier recommendations?

I can't recommend a specific one because where i live we have the opposite problem; but in general the type of humidifier is the most important when it comes to resilience and maintenance, best info source i can point to is ths video from technology connections where he talks about different types; all of the ones he talks about in the video (aside from the big one) are fairly simplistic in construction, so they'll start as soon as power is applied.
Also be mindful about the size of the room, since a small one may not be fast enough.

brokenlcd , 4 months ago to Asklemmy in What's your favorite song?

I'm unsure between peeping tom by jame berry and genesis by justice.
They are polar opposites in terms of genre; which one i prefer really depends on my mood

brokenlcd , 4 months ago to Asklemmy in What's a last name (family/surname) that you think is cool?

Mate here in italy we have "della morte" as a surname; which translates literally to "of the death". I don't think we can get more goth than this

brokenlcd , 4 months ago to Asklemmy in is there an open source way to recover deleted files from Android Internal Storage?

From what i understood on graphene there is file based encryption instead of block based (whole partition is encrypted) to allow each user profile to have different keys; this is how it's written on the site

(If i misunderstood what you where trying to tell me; i'm sorry, english isn't my first language and i wasnt able to understand if you meant to say it as a specification or as a "oh, you use graphene as well")

brokenlcd , 4 months ago to Asklemmy in is there an open source way to recover deleted files from Android Internal Storage?

That only works if the phone doesnt have disk encryption turned on since at the low level recovery tools work at an encrypted disk basically looks like gibberish; and since most phones nowdays have that option enabled by factory; i don't think it will give any results

brokenlcd , 4 months ago to Privacy in Problem with Mull and Duolingo

Then it may be something that mull is blocking to prevent fingerprinting that duolingo doesn't like, I don't know how to help in this case other than installing something like fennec in a work profile with shelter; sorry.
