  • Short: I forgot the /etc/fstab mount entry

    I’m not sure if the following counts as stupid, but here is one where I almost wiped my system and reinstalled everything. I have some entries in the /etc/fstab to bind certain directories to specific locations in my home, to keep it modular (doing this since over 10 years). One day I replaced one of the internal harddrives and then the system would no longer boot up, because the it tries to mount a non existent drive.

    Due to my long years of experience and wisdom with Linux, I thought that either the new drive was broken or I something from my body sparked over the board. It took me several minutes until I realized what actually happened and then everything was fine.

    BTW in EndeavourOS when this happens again (and it did) then while boot the system asks me to ignore that entry and continue. Which is soooo useful and don’t know why this was never asked before (before I was on EndeavourOS).


  • Skill issues.

    Just joking. These are Vulkan features to support. Normal users usually don’t read those and are not meant for anyway. The first part tells you the feature itself such as VK_EXT_descriptor and the second part with “on” tells you on what hardware driver it connects to, such as nvk for Nvidia Vulkan or radv for Radeon AMD Vulkan driver.

    You can actually lookup the Vulkan features supported on your hardware. Depends on what driver and hardware you are using. The Nvidia panel list them somewhere (I’m no longer Nvidia user) and on AMD you can in example lookup in KDE Info Center. I’m also a noob and that’s all I know. :D








  • This is a lot going on there. I’m thankful the blog poster did a content warning, I truly appreciate that. It’s a bit too hard subjects to read for me, so not going into details now.

    BTW I’m on beehaw and your reply looks like this to me, in case if it helps to see if it federates the way you was expecting it:

    If you think that’s WTH-worthy, then you definitely shouldn’t read the /r/cpp thread (sample comments: [1][2]).

    (edit to see if this will federate)


  • I tested this with a fresh Firefox profile, which is basically like a new installation without any customization. So looks like its not because of my personal customization or addons. Same results. On my old machine I remember using this website and I could navigate through the levels. But that’s 2 years ago or so, don’t remember.

    Just had the genius idea to look in the Browser console and this is the message:
