You didn’t even declare the hardware specs…

Regardless, Mint…

Try this…

• Force stop the YouTube app
• In the YouTube app storage settings, clear the cache and storage

The YT app, even not logged in, stores your data locally…

I’m no expert here, but I think your problem starts when you said “I open YouTube”

Whether you’re logged into Google or not, the YouTube app still tracks your video watch preferences and such. Try Grayjay instead…

Wow, I’ve been running Linux for 14 years already?

Yeah, it’s Penguin time! 🐧

Last I checked, hospitals around my area still use dot matrix printers, mainly because of carbon copy papers…

Very relevant…

Don’t worry about magnetic screwdrivers, the drives themselves have way stronger magnets for the head arm actuators.

Glad you found the failing drive though 👍

Interesting approach, makes sense.

Coming from automotive repair and using a section of hose to narrow down sounds.

Nothing wrong on my Android tablet, page renders just fine here. Fennec is my default browser BTW.

But also, the program is for Windows, Mac and Linux, they don’t seem to have a mobile version.

I just tried it, sadly it doesn’t have a camera sensor option to detect and translate flashing Morse Code from another source, but it does have a Morse to Text translator that you can manually enter the incoming dots and dashes and it’ll translate back to text.

The send feature converts plain text to the appropriate dots and dashes, with options to flash the screen, the flashlight, beep over the speaker and also vibrate. Dunno why they chose red as the screen flashing color with no option to change color though…

For it to be version 1.0.1, its actually alright, it does work, although slightly clunky (but simple) UI right now. Everything, even the custom text you enter, has to be accessed in the Settings menu.

Its worth a try, I’ll be keeping it on my devices to go alongside the Survival Manual app (different developer), and hope to see some improvements and new features down the road…

Alan Turing must be turning over in his grave now…

Sad times we live in, fuck AI.

I hear ya there, but…

I be getting really confused when one config boots from /dev/sda, but when I have my backup drive attached (not the boot device), it boots from /dev/sdb

Hell I dunno, I probably confused the hell out of my laptop plus myself with my cutout mod reconfiguration, but it’s happy to boot from almost anything now.

Almost…

Hey, at least I know how to restore to my previous state from backup via dd 👍

Wait wait, I just double checked.

Apparently my 128GB is a SATA M2.

Fuck I’m still learning this new hardware. 🤦‍♂️

I see someone missed the virtual machine memo.

My 128GB is meant as an integrated NVME drive.

Meant to be. I literally cut a service panel hole under the laptop to remove or reinstall it whenever I feel like, or maybe eventually upgrade it.

I’ve been booting off of other devices, like my 8GB USB flash, 100GB USB HDD, and even Live Boot USB DVD drive. It’s actually been very convenient, as I can boot off of whatever the hell I want from USB.

My backup is on a 4TB, so really no worries to me, I can more or less freely experiment around with whatever OS I want, and if it doesn’t work right, I can just dd my backup over whatever again, and it just works.

But why doesn’t the dd 100GB>128GB work as I’d expect?

Obviously that’s not the exact dd command I used, for privacy reasons.

🤷

The goal was to migrate the 100GB to the 128GB, hopefully expand it, and format the 100GB for future temporary/experimental use.

I never planned on having both drives actively running at the same time, so I don’t think there should have been any UUID issues, nor did I run across any errors suggesting such an issue.

But even without expanding the partition, the dd command should have 1:1 copied the 100GB, with space to spare, and be bootable, right? Or so I thought…

I had no problem dd restoring the original 128GB contents though, so at least I didn’t bork everything. Also the 100GB external USB is still fine. 👍

🤷

You sound like you know some things that perhaps I don’t know.

Slightly different question…

I have a 128GB SSD with Linux Mint MATE 20.3, and I did a full and successful dd backup to my 4TB backup drive.

I have a 100GB external USB hard drive as a test medium for Mint MATE 22.1. I am happy with my test setup, and tried to dd that over to the 128GB SSD. But it wouldn’t boot.

I restored the original 128GB SSD image and all is good right now, but why the hell didn’t the 100GB>128GB even boot?

Edit: Secure Boot has been disabled all along, screw that headache.

Not that I’m aware of, but hey, there’s a first time for everything.

By all means, feel free to try it. Be sure to post it under Food Crimes though… 😂

Honestly, I’ll try almost anything at least once. Put some olives and mushrooms on that pickle pizza, I’ll probably actually love it!

About the only sort of pizza I wouldn’t even touch… Oyster pizza.
