    Ja, unsere deutsch-amerikanische (btw. wo andere Länder?) Medienlandschaft ist ja bekannt dafür, ausschließlich aus einer Diktatur unterstellten, gleichgeschalteten Medien zu bestehen.

    Und ja, ich finde Plattformen die beispielsweise gezielt extremistische Inhalte fördern und auf der anderen Seite LGBT+ oder staatskritische Themen unterdrücken, dürfen ruhig verboten werden. Ist kein Verlust.

    Dann nutz halt ein VPN, wenn du so dringend diesen Scheiß konsumieren willst. Was Einzelpersonen machen könnte mir mit meinem widerlich liberalem Weltbild kaum egaler sein.





  • You can reinstall stuff without uninstalling it first (yay -S <package>). To add to the other comment suggesting a driver reinstall, you can use downgrade to revert back to old versions (and also to keep it fixed till you wanna give it another go, don’t forget if you do so tho!).

    Moreover, set up snapshots! They provide a very straightforward way to recover from failed updates.

    If you are on btrfs, you need: snapper, snap-pac, btrfs-assistant (optional, but provides a GUI and more automation…)

    If you are on ext4: timeshift, timeshift-autosnap

    Im both cases you need to create a profile for root (/), although when it comes to Timeshift I think you need (/ want to) exclude /home. (On the default btrfs setup, you don’t need to do this, because /home is it’s own subvolume).






  • It depends on the brand I guess. Some Canon Pixma did immediately worked with my distro, like literally zero setup required. However, it refuses duplexing. It just won’t do it. Not driverless and not with gutenprint, although it lists the specific model, not when setting it as the default, not when setting it per job.

    Yet it works on Android no problem.



  • If I had to do encrypted btrfs RAID from scratch, I would probably:

    1. Set up LUKS on both discs
    2. Unlock both
    3. Create a btrfs partition on one mapper
    4. Add the other with btfs device add /path/to/mapper /path/to/btrfs/part
    5. Balance with btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 -dconvert=raid1 /path/to/btrfs/part
    6. Add LUKS’ to crypttab, btrfs partition to fstab and rebuild/configure bootloader as necessary

    In that scenario, you would probably want to use a keyfile to unlock the other disc without rentering some password.

    Now, that’s from the top of my head and seems kinda stupidly complicated to me. iirc btrfs has a stable feature to convert ext4 to btrfs. It shouldn’t matter whatever happens outside, so you could take your chances and just try that on your ext volume

    (Edit: But to be absolutely clear: I would perform a backup first :D)
