So, I had to shutdown my mini pc home server (on NIXOS) so that it could be used for something else. Most of my data is in a pair of external hdds in a RAID configuration. However the Postgres database was in the boot drive. I still have it, but it refuses to boot anywhere else (tried some old spare laptops). How can I recover it?
It’s funny how “science”, the process of creating new knowledge by asking questions and answering them via experiment and evidence, somehow becomes “settled”, and can no longer be questioned, the moment it arrives at a conclusion that leftists like.

Had a great chat with @ac3f6afe about decentralization in practice. I hope you enjoy this deep dive on their project as well as the tech freedom space as a whole.
I do it with a gluetun container (more versatile) zero issues, but you can just mainline wireguard as an interface if you prefer, also works fine, on bazzite.
I've installed it through secureblue's ujust script. I think this has been the smoothest experience I've had with it on Fedora Atomic.
Previously, I relied on the wireguard profiles I downloaded from ProtonVPN and which I loaded through NetworkManager. While it definitely worked, it was a hassle to redo it every now and then. Furthermore, switching on the go to something else I hadn't loaded already was never an experience I enjoyed doing.
Though, for completeness' sake, ProtonVPN^[Note that, IIRC, IVPN and Mullvad don't fare better in this regard.] hasn't fixed its IP leakage on Linux. And, to my knowledge, the workaround is only available with access to the wireguard profiles. And thus, the cumbersome method actually offers a very tangible merit over the comfortable one.
Finally, while I don't endorse the use of NordVPN, it's the only other VPN that's installable as a sysext. Note that systemd system extensions are still experimental, though. Even if they've (read: N=1) been reliable to use for me.
Yes. But it’s not the simplest solution. You just have to have three config files in that same /etc/wireguard folder and use the sudo wg-quick down config-file-name and the sudo wg-quick up config-file-name commands to disconnect and reconnect to th…
proton drive is the biggest bummer from proton themselves. though their calendar might acually be worse - like where the fuck can i use this shit? however, rclone does kinda work with drive if you're willing to get it setup.
Yup, using openVPN profiles. Proton VPN has quite clear instruction on how to do this on their website. Just do a search for “proton vpn openVPN profile Linux”
Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a decree formally withdrawing Ukraine from the Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel landmines. The move coincided with the exit from the treaty by countries along NATO's eastern flank, including Poland and the Baltics.
I was 16 when I busted my face open from a bicycle ramping accident, without a helmet. I ripped my chin flesh off my jawbone when that happened.
I've always wondered what's the deal with helmets having that visor part in the front. If I had been wearing one of those when that happened, it would have pushed my head further back and broke my neck..
I'm still alive today, because I wasn't wearing a helmet.
Yo, even the emergency room was surprised I didn't break my neck. The only reason I didn't was literally because I didn't have a helmet on to push my head further backwards.
I survived a concussion and facial injuries, no broken bones. I would not have survived a broken neck..
I did stop doing jumps after that though, counted myself lucky, not stupid.
It's like when someone goes on about their friends mom's college roommate's sister's cousin was in an accident and the EMTs and hospital definitely told them they would have died if they were wearing their belt or they died because they were wearing a belt.
K. You're still wearing it or you're getting the fuck out of my car. End of discussion and if you want to keep spouting dumb shit everywhere then we have nothing more to talk about.
Helmets save lives. Period. Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot.
I've kicked people out of my car for that shit: An unbuckled idiot is an extreme danger to everyone in the car during a crash.
IDGAF if their entitled ass doesn't want to wear a seatbelt, they sure as fuck aren't putting me at risk because they refuse to use or understand basic safety.
Of course I wear a seatbelt when in a vehicle, but we're not talking about seatbelts nor passengers to even kick out. We're talking about a bicycle, my bicycle in my case, which I'll ride however I choose.
I'm 42 now, been riding bicycles since I was 4. As long as I keep the wheels on the ground and don't do stupid stuff like ramping, I have never once hit my head.
Sure I've busted my knees, shins and elbows a few times doing flatland balance tricks, so if I went for protective gear, I'd go for the gear I actually need, shin guards, elbow guards, and kneepads.
If I was so worried about any little chance of busting my head, I'd wear a helmet every time I walk up and down the stairs. Hell, a friend of mine just last month missed a single 4" high step coming out of a gas station and busted his head wide open and needed 10 staples.
Point is, you can trip and fall practically anywhere, even just on foot. With that said, why don't pedestrians wear helmets? They're just as much at risk, especially if walking near or across road traffic..
I don't even ride my bicycle over 15mph, unless I absolutely have to for some reason. I don't race, and at absolute max my single speed low geared BMX bike can only achieve is 24mph, which I practically never ride that fast.
Read my other comments, my usual cruising pace is ~11mph, and when I do BMX flatland tricks, those are only usually around a mere 5mph. I don't ride any faster than my feet can stop me in a pinch. Brakeless rider here no less.
Try watching a BMX flatland video or three, flatland isn't about speed, its about balance. Sure some riders like to speed, but not me, I just like to cruise and pull some occasional bike tricks.
You might as well insist that the Olympics make ice skaters wear a helmet, equally as dangerous at such low speeds.
15mph is plenty fast for a fatal head injury, never mind 24.
You are not an Olympic athlete, you apparently a delusional helmetless person doing tricks on a bicycle, possibly with a prior head injury that is clouding your judgement.
I'm done arguing with you though, there's no point arguing with a person who disregards reality.
Occasionally I'll practice a few tricks barefoot, this is about as hard as it gets. When I put my shoes back on, suddenly things seem easier for some reason...
Did you miss my point about the visor? If I had been wearing a helmet with a visor when that happened, the extra protrusion from the visor sticking out from my forehead would have pushed my head back about an additional 20 degrees and would have snapped my neck.
Did anyone catch the actual article about the helmet recall? Those helmets have... visors
I never said helmets are a bad thing, I said helmets with a visor are a bad thing.
Either way I still would have busted my chin open, that was the initial main point of impact, and I don't see too many bike helmets out there with chin guards.
You are operating under multiple layers of ignorance and frankly, I just don't have the energy to correct everything you've said but suffice it to say:
1: Properly designed visors will actually protect you and most definitely will not "break your neck".
2: There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of bicycle helmets with chin guards. I would strongly encourage anyone doing jumps, downhill, or even e-bikes at higher speeds to get a good MIPS full face helmet and wear it every time. If you're going to go faster than 25 frequently it's probably even time to get a DOT/SNELL certified moto helmet.
You don't know what would have actually happened if you were wearing a properly designed helmet because you chose not to wear one, which was an objectively foolish decision no matter how you try to justify it.
I have no interest in debating this further though, believe whatever you like: It's your brain to protect (or not).
I was 16, you think I was thinking much back then? Like I said, I've since quit ramping. My current bike's cruising speed is about 11mph, and is a single speed geared low where even at absolute max it simply cannot exceed 24mph.
I'm not into racing, If I'm not cruising around 11 to 15 mph, I'm doing BMX flatland balance tricks probably around a mere 5mph.
I do thank you for the thoughts and advice though, but you're assuming I'm going way faster than I usually do. If I somehow manage to hit my head doing anything at 5mph, I'll just retire from riding altogether.
I'm nowhere near as skilled as these riders, but I took lots of inspiration from these professional riders. Note what the pros don't even use in flatland...

I'm pretty sure that's part of the general design intent yes, but you'd have to know the exact angle of my impact. Chin first, left side, dragging upwards, from about 6 feet in the air, tire level, which means my head started off about 9 feet in the air. It also jammed my glasses into my forehead, which is how I know the angle I hit. It only takes about 7 pounds of force to snap a neck, and I impacted chin first with all ~150 pounds of my body weight from pretty high up.
I could have largely avoided the chin/face impact if I had put my arms and hands out in front of me, but I would have ended up with broken arms and my handlebars stuck through my gut instead.
Yes things would have went differently if I had been wearing a helmet, perhaps could have been better, perhaps could have been worse. No way to truly know, and I'm damn skippy not about to try it again.
The reason that happened was because the ramp wasn't secured to any sort of frame, it was just a sheet of plywood laid on a ~4 foot high dirt mound. There were 4 of us taking turns ramping, and as my front wheel came off the ramp, the next friend was just hitting the ramp behind me. That caused the plywood to flex, pushing my back wheel upwards as I was leaving the ramp.
I had a whole second or so to say "OH SHIT!" and decide whether to keep hold of the straight handlebars or not. I didn't want my handlebars stuck through my gut, so I held the bars.
Anyways, from that sort of height, chin/face first, I don't think a helmet would have made all too much of a difference. But if I had been wearing a helmet with a visor, my glasses probably wouldn't have been jammed into my forehead, which would have meant that my head would have been pushed back at more of an angle. Even the ER doctors noticed that.
Not saying it's right, but in my 42 years of life, I've never met a bicycle rider that even owns a helmet. To even obtain a helmet, you gotta ride to another city to even get one. And the intersection at that Walmart is one of the absolute most dangerous intersections out there for bike riders. So oddly enough, its safer to avoid the only place we can even get helmets.
TL;DR - I was 16, doing stupid shit and ramping a rigged up ramp with 3 other friends, and nobody out there wore or even had helmets. What did I learn? Don't do stupid shit, don't ramp, keep the wheels on the ground. So I switched to flatland.
Only minor motor control damage on the right side, for like 2 years, which recovered practically perfectly. The worst I'm left with is a partly numb lower left lip.

@BasedLunatic @SiRrogueKnight My friends this tournament has 6 hours left...and SiRrogueKnight has been winning this tournament since close to the start, maintaining a consistent lead of between 5 and 10 votes.
Currently the score is 52-44 - which is not insurmountable by any means! However, despite the consistent efforts of Sui/Owl to push for Dicey, SiRrogueKnight himself has spent the last two days CRASHING THE ACTUAL FUCK OUT, undermining their efforts! Can Sui scrape up votes for Dicey to keep a win out of the hands of NAS, or will SRK maintain his lead?
