And the driver is stuffed if the hardware decides to have an unrecoverable issue.

(I'm looking at you, Intel GuC. You dumb little bastard.)

There is a proposal to consider making a Wayland extension where programs can sit around and re-attach to a fresh, non-deaded display server. KDE is much closer to having a working version.

My main problem with Flatpak is that it hands temporary /var/run/1000 file links to programs instead of real filenames. That would almost be bearable, if Flatpak also took responsibility for keeping those links from breaking sometime after your next reboot.

If I say "here is a path that an app is allowed to use", flatpak should just allow an open() in there to work. It should not lie about the name of files in there. An app should be able to open a file there, remember that name, and count on being able to access it again in the future.

Other than that, Flatpaks are the bees knees. I love finding something I want to do, finding a solution in the flatpak store, and click-click I'm already doing shit. Finding Windows software is absolute garbage next to this.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm thinking in terms of "not a raid, no redundant copies available" scrub, where the main output would be a sanity check of data checksums.

Then use openscad. It's way easier 😉

(It is quite funny to see this post get thumbs-up from the "oh openscad sounds neat, I'll have to check that out" crowd, and later see the thumbs-down rolling around like "nope. nope. Did not like that one bit.")

I've seen an Apple battery or two puff up at that age. Highly recommend getting that old battery swapped out.

Given that it's just an interface error, you could try turning it all off, take the drive out and hit its contacts with electronics contact cleaner (I guess CRC brand is good as any). Work it a little bit, let it dry before putting it all back together.

Another possibility is that power management is being naughty. Fiddle with ASPM or APST.

Oh and do a btrfs/zfs scrub to check that your data is correct.

It would be nice if libinput had any idea about scaling touchpad scrolling. You can make something that isn't entirely terrible by lying about your trackpad size and some other crap, but it is a royal pita.

Here's the sha256 of the last yuzu_install.exe that I could nab

It would be nice if there was a way to bundle up a flatpak that was at risk of disappearing
