My first thought is that this was to make Linux palatable to western regulations, like how companies can't use Kaspersky anymore. Stupid if I'm right because it's not like the fsb is going to sneak spyware into Linux.
If it were me, I'd do a fresh minimal install of the same OS, boot to the livecd and then delete pretty much everything except for /etc and /boot. I'd then cp -ar all my files from the failing drive and then manually merge /etc back. I say manually merge because most things would get replaced by my old files, but I'd manually modfify my fstab to keep the new partition information and add my extra mounts after it. Maybe that's just me though. You can also just dd and then resize partitions if necessary.
Is he soorey?
New Balance patch!
We are happy to present the next major multiplayer balance update, featuring changes for 14 units and 10 buildings, as well as two new abilities.
New balance patch is live on the PTR.
Google is not killing uBlock Origin. It's changing how Chrome works. uBlock Origin will continue to work in my Firefox and other browsers.
When I go to Lemmy, I'm not logged in until I click on a post to read, what's up with that? I used to stay logged in.
Eww extremely embarrassing that they used Windows.
FreeFileSync detects moves and changes quickly without rereading the whole file. The first time you sync it will read every file to hash them first, this takes a long time but subsequent syncs will be fast.
How do you show someone a tattoo on your bones?
Nate is the man, he hangs out in the keebuser help matrix channel and is a fuckin boss!

It's easy to backport newer software to Debian stable: https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation#Install_Debian_packaging_tools
I had to do this with transmission-daemon when the stable version had a nasty memory leak. I use Debian on all my secondary computers, the ones where I don't need the newest software and don't want to fuck with it and have it break.
Registry changes are too confusing for normal computer users. The year of the Windows desktop is a pipe dream held dearly by the utterly deranged.
Buy a refurb, they're cheap and you'll be able to find something you like. My current laptop is around 10 years old with 4G RAM and a friggin' modem port and VGA!
If this is true, we gotta talk Biden into running again. I don't care if he can't talk or stay awake, I'll definitely vote for the weathermancer every time!
I just disabled Javascript and Google still works fine. It might be only Google's mobile site that requires it.
I've got a theory on this: They have gay urges and therefor think everyone has them, so they believe that everyone needs to "choose to be straight" and it's just weak sinners who are giving into their urges.
Also to grandparent: it's allllllll projection with conservatives.
Where did the "Window Action" feature go?
KDE 5 had a feature in the keyboard shortcuts in settings where you could set a Window Action as a trigger instead of a keyboard shortcut (Documentation in the link). This means that KDE would do something every time a certain window appeared. This was very useful, my use case was changing the TeamViewer authorization prompt to NT logon as I don't use the normal TeamViewer password. I think there should be a workaround if it's truly gone, but for the life of me I can't remember or search for the name of this software that does something every time a certain window is created.
Hungry for a tournament? Harstem is casting one
I was going to link to his Youtube page, but it seems these videos are unlisted! Here are the 2 I have so far:
Harstem - Reynor, Byun, Oliveira, Clem in $42000 StarCraft II Tournament
Harstem - Serral, maru, Dark, Cure and more in $42000 StarCraft II Tournament
The BIOS is part of your operating system and pee is stored in the balls.
This was a Lenovo. Now I'm wondering if Windows or Linux has a better BIOS.
Cool game from ESL: Special vs Cham game 1
I don't understand how these 2 always have such bangers of games. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't Special a lot better than Cham? Special competes in the GSL, I hadn't even heard of Cham until this or last year.
The Microsoft Starcraft update is live
Just a dumb meme, here is more context: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/8/23952878/microsoft-onedrive-windows-close-app-notification
The craziest Brood War game I've seen in 20 years
And the matchup is ZvZ! Whaaaaaaaaat? We are so lucky to have this game played for us.
Banger of a match: Spirit vs Elazer at gamers8.
Game 1 is great and then game 2 is even better! Game 3 is pretty good.
What is the nerf that ghosts need?
Snipe is still insane in TvZ. Ghosts counter spellcasters that don't really have a counter to ghosts, and then they also counter every other unit, especially the lategame ones. Once you get to the lategame, there's never a reason to not mass ghosts. The game says that roaches are the counter to ghosts, but has anyone ever made a roach after the 9 minute mark?
