Too real

Tbh feel like Docs have gone down in quality over the past few years, a pair of them wore out for me in 2 years when I was a Chef. Granted I was on my feet all the time!

Yeah this don’t make sense, Debian should be the continent lol

/r/2007scape, /r/asoiaf, /r/berserk, /r/fibromyalgia, also my big unix multireddit!

Alpine works great off a usb, I run sway and quite a few other bits off it on a run-from-ram/encrypted config.

Glad to be of service!

Here you go!

The paths are slightly different so I made two. Could probably merge it into one pretty easily but I can’t be bothered messing around with variables :)

Well, the good news is that it worked :) Gimme a mo I’ll pastebin them.

I am more than happy to but I’m not sure if it’s an older version of what I had written up, I’m actually reinstalling on another laptop to test/re-write it and I’d be more than happy to share if it works :P

Just imagine when it comes out for wayland!

Can you not sell it and grab a III? They are pretty cheap used/refurb now - I got 2 in good condition for £200 each.

It is, although my install is a bit funky. Efistub/zfsbootmenu wth native encryption - there’s a few extra steps :-) luckily I have it all written down!

Better days

It is, and it’s called cowsay!

Fair, yep I’ve tried a few of those methods in the past, if you’re really worried maybe take it to a specialist? I doubt it would cost much for a quick job. Good luck!

To be fair there are very stable distros like Debian that will hardly ever break.

Some of us like it to work, some of us like to make it work :)

If it’s stripped screws then maybe try different screw bits? One might get some traction. or maybe try unscrewing it with an elastic band in between that might help.

If that doesn’t work you could try some screw-extracting pliers.

If that really doesn’t work you could also try putting a small dot of superglue on the screw, let the screwdriver head dry in it then try turning it.

If that really, really doesn’t work you could try using a rotary tool/dremel/knife to cut a small line that you could use a flathead to unscrew it with.

Or do you mean like the actual head has come off? :o

Whoosh, forgot about that :)

Yep @mailbox.org sounds a bit more professional.
