Yes. It’s a viable way to save money if you use a site like https://shucks.top/

Right, well testdisk has worked wonders in the past for me. It might worth a try especially if this is a spinning rust drive. It has helped me recover broken partitions and lost files so if you know where you’re looking you just might have a chance. I’m no expert but it seems like one of your last options with all the info provided. Best of luck!

What are the chances the header is stored in the partition map? Could you use testdisk to try and recover the old partition map and its data?

screen2gif. Peek is really good on the capturing side but it lacks all the editing tools like resizing, changing speed of each frame, removing specific or ranges of frames, inserting frames, drawing on frames, and of course exporting in different formats with very good compression options. I really miss being able to fine tune my gifs without having to open multiple tools or scripts.

Yup, it really depends on if you want to specifically get experience with CAD or have a working thing in your hand. Blender is perfectly capable of working in scale and is how I’ve designed / printed anything custom with perfect results.

same, likely switching back after a few good years with micro.

Jetbrains Rider is the answer to dotnet on Linux. The only thing it is bad at is WPF. Otherwise go ham.

Honestly this would make for a neat project — build an esp32 or rp2040 based punchcard reader / printer and then print out all your backup codes (encrypted of course by some hardware based code like a set of dip switches) onto custom punchcard tape.

Yeah I second Jetbrains Rider. It’s fantastic on Linux and dotnet development has never been better with it. The only lacking thing is WPF but there’s open source alternatives that are actually cross platform and integrate just as well (AvaloniaUI).

1.0 doesn’t mean anything.

I’m not sure LUKs can lock a drive that’s booted already since it’s not a RAM session like a live CD is and relies on the decrypted files to operate. This is why the encryption key is prompted from your boot manager prior to actually getting the system running. That said, I lock my computer all the time and just rely on the normal user password to get back in.

I was kinda annoyed at double password login when I setup my system too. So what I did was just enable automatic login for my user since I’m the only one. I just treat my disk password as my login form so I just enter one password. I still have a user password for things like sudo and other permissions handling when I’m logged in but getting into a new session is automatic on startup so it doesn’t annoy me anymore. Would that work for you?

I’ve been enjoying endeavourOS for a while now. Great intro to arch and also not really all that different to Debian in day to day use. It’s nice having a more recent kernel and the NVIDIA drivers have worked flawlessly for me. It has been one of the smoothest experience out of the box next to Debian. NixOS and several others just gave me all sorts of headaches trying to make them work, the experience was subpar on this desktop build.

Some extensions don’t work but many do, you just have to download the extension files from the marketplace website and tell VCCodium to install the extensions from those files.

Jetbrains Rider is fantastic and .net 6+ is native to Linux now. You can even get by with VSCode (I prefer VSCodium) with their improved C# tools.

Depending on what you do, there’s also cross platform UI libraries like Avalonia-UI that can fully replace WPF.

Now you know about the command and can alias it to whatever floats your boat!

‘open .’
‘exhume /my/file’
‘liberate my.site’

I think that’s nitpicking a little too much.

There’s a hundred features available on every device at any one time. It’s gotta go somewhere. UX and UI design is very difficult, doubly so when discoverability has to be balanced with small form factor devices.

Safari on macOS doesn’t have address bar page search as you suspected but it’s a different device and thus has a different design / experience. More specifically a physical keyboard with shortcuts that are expected to be used but also a menu bar where features can be tucked away logically (e.g. edit > find, etc.) The share (action) button on mobile safari sure seems like a logical place to put it, given the space constraints and hey, you found it! And now you know the search bar also searches the page.

Beyond that, pull down to search has been in iOS for years now and is included in multiple locations, including the Home Screen itself and the settings app.

I won’t sit here and pretend everything is 100% consistent and that the design language is adhered to and perfect. It’s not and it’s probably going to get worse until a new set of rules is developed or is refreshed again.

Hardly anyone is going to find every feature and figure out how it works without help and the more that our devices advance in power and capability, the more that has to be tucked away and designed for. If a useful feature has 2 or 3 ways to activate it and you find one them, its mission success. Just because the other ways would be more convenient for you to actually use doesn’t mean it’s a terribly design. It doesn’t mean anything at all in fact. It just happens because there’s millions of users who use these devices around the world and we’re all different and you just happened to not discover all the ways possible to perform one specific action with multiple routes to access it. But you did discover how to use it. And you were taught a different way by someone else. What’s the problem again?

You can just type in the address bar to search, you don’t have to share. It’s always been that way since page search was introduced. It shows up under its own suggestion category as “Find on page (results number)”
