I don’t speak french or Spanish, but in Italian “windows ti ha piantato” it has the same three nuances that op wrote. When a computer is “piantato” it means it’s frozen/crashed. Like it’s stuck, planted in the ground.
For example someone can shout “Cazzo!!! Questo cazzo di computer si è piantato e ho perso il salvataggio del cazzo! Cazzo!”
Also a girlfriend can “piantato” = break up or do no show on appointment. And also “piantato” main meaning is to plant something in the spil
Thanks for this post, i would have updated mine next semester…
It’s very unlikely that those printers can support the new “universal print” standard (mopria, 2013)
At most can put them as generic printer text only which is worse
On the plus side, for example, there are thousands of printers and scanners where the manufacturer never released a 64bit windows driver even if some of them were sold during the vista 64 bit era or even windows 7.
In that case Linux it’s the only way to make them work on a modern computer (unless supported by paid third party drivers like vuescan or printfab)
And that some programs are extremely opinionated.
Ignoring requests with thousands of posts, or even pull requests where the changes are already implemented
“No. I won’t add tabs, it’s better UX to have separate windows”
“No, I won’t allow the user to save the password, even if it’s local or not important”
“All the temporary shit will be saved on the hardcoded directory ~/.fuckyou and not /tmp”
This stuff unfortunately depends by the desktop environment and because there are hundreds of them, it’s inconsistent.
On gnome it remembers it correctly, although there are a handful of times where the gamepad doesn’t connect automatically and I have to manually do that
Wow this is the exact perfect example of why someone should install from AUR as less as possible, manually checking the pkgbuild and not just “yay yolo”
In this case the archive seems to be clean and be what wd would send if contacted, (even Windows versions are in the zip)
Btw WTF WD. Why making a tool and its documentation only available on request?? It is nothing special, more or less do the same stuff that the GUI can do (show details, send erase command, send ATA password command).
It doesn’t seem to be able to disable the activity LED
Why not RDP with remmina, it’s way easier, faster and efficient
Some PM: “it’s Patch Tuesday, we must push the monthly update or the users will revolt, push it at exactly 10:00!”
“But we didn’t finish the tests!”
PM: “Push. It. Right. Now.”
With the latest windows 11 update they broke the shutdown feature
install tldr and then you have easier commands
> tldr dd
dd
Convert and copy a file.

- Make a bootable USB drive from an isohybrid file (such as archlinux-xxx.iso) and show the progress:
sudo dd if=path/to/file.iso of=/dev/usb_drive status=progress
- Clone a drive to another drive with 4 MiB block size and flush writes before the command terminates:
sudo dd bs=4M conv=fsync if=/dev/source_drive of=/dev/dest_drive
- Generate a file with a specific number of random bytes by using kernel random driver:
dd bs=100 count=1 if=/dev/urandom of=path/to/random_file
- Benchmark the write performance of a disk:
dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=path/to/file_1GB
- Create a system backup, save it into an IMG file (can be restored later by swapping if and of), and show the progress:
sudo dd if=/dev/drive_device of=path/to/file.img status=progress
- Check the progress of an ongoing dd operation (run this command from another shell):
progress
Maybe that once every 2 years when you upgrade to major version it does it automatically? You save 15 mins every 2 years?
I liked hyprland for about one month this August, wasted a lot to make the configuration how I liked. Then they changed the config suddenly without warning. Installed GNOME as a fallback because I needed to do actual work, wasted another weekend to fix the configuration. Nice, I used it for some other time and… broken again within a month. At least deprecate the configuration and give one version of tolerance…
You need to mount / as /mnt/disk in the VM to have the trick work
Yes. Luckily I did a snapshot then copied on a separate drive using btrfs send.
I shut down everything, there’s no activity… that’s why I feel weird to see all this rebuild activity, yet so many hours passed…
A scrub usually takes less than an hour…
I notice that you used the free interface without registration. While a bit of a hassle to register, I saw that behind the registration wall they use longer contexts/bigger models. Without registration it’s more prone to abuse so they might condense/truncate responses from chats: by design, the bots have zero memory, so the whole chat history needs to be appended at every question => long chats lead to expensive API calls => free users get history truncated or condensed.
Also, the normal system prompt is something like “be a sycophant and always please the user no matter prompt” and it will lead you do stupid stuff if you ask, so you need to go to the settings and change it to something like:
From now on, stop being agreeable and act like a high-level consultant: blunt and honest. Don’t validate me, don’t soften the truth, and don’t flatter me. Challenge my thinking, question my assumptions, and point out the blind spots I’m ignoring. Be direct, rational, and unfiltered. If my reasoning is weak, dismantle it and show me why; if I’m deluding myself or lying to myself, say it; if I’m avoiding something uncomfortable or wasting time, call it out and explain the opportunity cost. Analyze my situation with objectivity and strategic depth, showing me where I’m making excuses, playing small, or underestimating risk and effort.
For example this question that i had: (all paragraphed, writing from memory, i routinely wipe all the chat histories)
can I bypass gpg verification on fedora when using dnf?
gpt-5-mini from chatgpt free:
it’s absolutely possible! just use the --nogpgcheck flag
gpt-5.2 from api with the previous system prompt:
i won’t tell you how to do that, it’s an incredibly stupid idea, a bad habit and doesn’t actually solve the problem
finally, don’t blindly trust the results as they might still be incorrect, use that as a hint on how to proceed
I told myself “with this 4 days of holidays i can easily rebuild the btrfs array”. 3 days later it’s still crunching numbers at 50MB/s… (but with all this time passed at that speed the drives would be able to fully rewritten multiple times…)
And then you just go to extensions.gnome.org and tell to run the extensions anyway by ignoring the GNOME version
Don’t have much experience but I run extensions designed for 45 on 49 without any problem
Unfortunately for me GNOME without extensions it’s unusable and I don’t have the patience to stay 3-4 versions behind to ensure compatibility
Edit: I wrote the wrong URL, it was .org and not .com
at least you get something, on my work computer, i get an empty window when i search
Yes but sometimes, for example core parts of windows 11 like the start menu, don’t need to be cross platform and should be native, not a pwa
