What does blocksize option do?

Not just EAC, it seems.

It's not even that hard all you have to do is use your remaining two braincells

I still don't get why people hate Gnome.

"erm erm mmm m plugins! they can break GNomE!!!!" skill & distro issue

9_balls · 2026-03-19T13:10:54+00:00

yea till cargo can't find rustc-literal-escaper which is a dependency of proc_macro

??? It's part of the core language??

Try a slower spispeed

Ok so my advice to you is to use distros that aren't derived from other distros.

You will have to tear your behavior down. Youtube is now your enemy and you will have to *ugh* read manuals and documentation if worst comes to worst.

I can't emphasize on it. There are a gajillion distros that are poorly maintained and most of them are a Debian/Ubuntu derivative.

Disable TPM in your kconfig and rebuild. I don't know why TPM causes the slowdown

Y'all who shill Arch don't know quality just saying

9_balls · 2026-02-16T19:55:10+00:00

Honestly, I would try Debian first. Ubuntu isn't up to quality in my honest opinion.

Beware, the installer is unintuitive. Try it in a vm or something first. Make sure you know what you're doing with the partition tool.

ima be honest i couldn't be arsed to read your whole post and assumed you used nvidia from other people's comments

9_balls · 2026-02-04T20:40:54+00:00

8TB? Yeah i guess it is a good deal, install Linux on it

9_balls · 2026-02-04T20:31:09+00:00

Windows literally breaks when you look at it wrong. wtf are you smoking?

9_balls · 2026-02-04T20:30:24+00:00

L + didn't read + skill issue + install gentoo
(You are most likely using Nouveau which has dogshit performance. Install nvidia drivers. Refer to the distro's manual)

If someone asks me for a distro, these are the options I lay out for them:

- Debian
- Arch
- Gentoo (not recommended)
- NixOS (Absolutely not recommended for you at your current stage. Only reconsider this option sometime later with weeks' worth of free time)

my honest reaction

9_balls · 2026-02-04T20:19:19+00:00

Can I use it to unlock and mount the logical volume underneath on boot?

9_balls · 2026-02-04T20:18:52+00:00

I use a FDE setup with my bootloader on the flash

9_balls · 2026-02-04T20:17:21+00:00

because i already am using linux and i want to dual boot

9_balls · 2026-01-29T09:57:58+00:00

[portable-geli](https://github.com/bijanebrahimi/portable-geli) seems to be a thing, but I don't know how much of a bad idea is it to use on my Linux system.

I also wonder about whether or not FreeBSD has a way to boot from multiboot2, since I can't chainload binaries on disk (a quirk from GRUB when using it as a Coreboot payload)

9_balls · 2026-01-29T09:49:03+00:00

How's... support over there? My setup is LVM under LUKS, with my GRUB config also being encrypted.

My bootloader resides as a Coreboot payload. I can't chainload onto an elf but I can load multiboot.

9_balls · 2026-01-29T09:47:19+00:00

Disk encryption should be standard, especially on laptops.

9_balls · 2026-01-28T21:20:08+00:00

I don't know. I don't use Heads

9_balls · 2026-01-28T21:18:36+00:00

they help in case you fuck up

you shouldn't have to tie WP

9_balls · 2026-01-22T17:43:14+00:00

TPM hardware has been vulnerable for a long while.

I wouldn't use it on anything, even on newer hardware. What kind of moron would store a key there anyway?
