I think I messed up ... Wanted to get a lot of files out of a nested folderstructure 3 levels deep and used mv /*/*/* ./ somewhere deep in my personal folders. I got a lot of errors and quick as I could stopped it. Now that folder is is messed up with a lot of stuff (see below) which I dont know the origin of. The good news: I have fairly recent backups
Questions:
Could they be from subdirectories in my home folder?
Could they be from subdirectories outside my home folder? Especially grubenv caught my eye.
Could it be potentially dangerous to reboot? I leave my PC on untill I know more.
Would it be possible to reverse the moving in some way, to put them back where they belong, even manually?
If ./ and ./*/*/* are both within your home folder, you should just restore it from your backup. The command you ran takes everything up to 3 levels deep and moves it up to the working directory, and unraveling that will be a pain in the ass.
I can't say because those paths are relative and I don't know your file structure. That said, even if I did, restoring from backup would take out all of the guesswork here so I would recommend that over trying to do it manually.
Strange thing is, instead of moving folders (which isnt possible without root anyway) it looked like some of them got copied instead. Compared some folders from /boot/grub with the dump in my homefolder and they were the same files (number and names etc).
My theory for why it created copies: The files you listed look like they are all subdirectories from /dev, which is (usually) a separate filesystem. When you try to move a file or directory across filesystems, the OS can't just change the link, it has to actually copy the files and then remove the original. As a directory is a set of links to files, and the copies are different files, directories are just newly created with the same name in the new location instead of copying the directory filesystem entry. It looks like mv creates these target directories, before it checks if it actually has permission to remove the source, but checks file permissions, before it copies them

Like I'm not one of THOSE. I know higher = better with framerates.
BUT. I'm also old. And depending on when you ask me, I'll name The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as my favourite game of all time.
The original release of that game ran at a glorious twenty frames per second. No, not thirty. No, not even twenty-four like cinema. Twenty. And sometimes it'd choke on those too!
.... And yet. It never felt bad to play. Sure, it's better at 30FPS on the 3DS remake. Or at 60FPS in the fanmade recomp port. But the 20FPS original is still absolutely playable.
Yet like.
I was playing Fallout 4, right? And when I got to Boston it started lagging in places, because, well, it's Fallout 4. It always lags in places. The lag felt awful, like it really messed with the gamefeel. But checking the FPS counter it was at... 45.
And I'm like -- Why does THIS game, at forty-five frames a second, FEEL so much more stuttery and choked up than ye olde video games felt at twenty?
My favorite game of all time is Descent, PC version to be specific, I didn't have a PlayStation when I first played it.
The first time I tried it, I had a 386sx 20MHz, and Descent, with the graphics configured at absolute lowest size and quality, would run at a whopping 3 frames per second!
I knew it was basically unplayable on my home PC, but did that stop me? Fuck no, I took the 3 floppy disks installer to school and installed it on their 486dx 66MHz computers!
I knew it would just be a matter of time before I got a chance to upgrade my own computer at home.
I still enjoy playing the game even to this day, and have even successfully cross compiled the source code to run natively on Linux.
But yeah I feel you on a variety of levels regarding the framerate thing. Descent at 3 frames per second is absolutely unplayable, but 20 frames per second is acceptable. But in the world of Descent, especially with modern upgraded ports, the more frames the better 👍
Definitely give it a shot. It's obviously different, but I loved it. My mom actually banned me from playing descent 3: vertigo, because she had vertigo and it made her sick
Vertigo was actually an expansion on Descent 2, I made the NoCD patch for it via a carefully hex edited mod based on another NoCD patch for the original Descent 2.
Any which way, yeah, anyone with vertigo wouldn't be comfortable or oriented in any way if they're watching or playing the game, no matter what version.
@Count Regal Inkwell Most people can't honestly perceive any change in their visual field in less than 1/60th of a second except perhaps at the very periphery (for some reason rods are faster than cones and there are more rods in your peripheral vision) and even then not in much detail. So honestly, frame rates above 60 fps don't really buy you anything except bragging rights.
led lights almost always run off rectified, smoothed supplies, so no flicker. i have one cheap old crappy bulb that doesn't, and i can definitely perceive the flicker. it's almost nauseating.
@binom If you film with a camera with a ntsc vertical reference rate of 59.95 hz you will see a beat note between the lights and the led lighting indicating it is not well filtered if at all. If you have a newer HiDef camera, most of them work at a 24Hz refresh rate, that IS a slow enough rate that you see jitter in the movement, they also will have a beat note if recording under most LED lights. Many cheap led lights just have a capacitive current limiter and that's it. If you power them off of 50Hz you will see the flicker, if you get dimmable LED lights they will NOT have a filter. But I don't want to interfere with anyone's bragging rights.
I wouldn't know. Could never afford a posh high-refresh-rate monitor, and it's very low on my priority list, so even if/when I do get a windfall of money, it probably won't be what I buy next.

If I could, I would scream it into the world — but instead, I write it with shaking hands: RUSSIA STRUCK KHARKIV with 53 DRONES, 4 BOMBS & a MISSILE. It was the LARGEST & MOST RUTHLESS attack on the city since the war began. Three people were killed, 21 injured. THIS IS TERROR.
The grieving parents of a 7-year-old child who died hours after being hit by a car were charged with involuntary manslaughter after allowing him and his brother, 10, to walk home unaccompanied by an adult from a nearby grocery store.
Yeah, I remember when I was 7 I'd explore everywhere around my house for at least a few miles. There was a convenience store 2 miles out where I'd buy candy any time I'd scrounged up a few dollars of change.
What happened was terrible, but it was an accident nevertheless. Nobody should have to serve time, especially not the grieving parents.
@HiddenLayer555 This is a messed up era. When I was a kid from kindergarten and up I walked to school alone. It wasn't a super long distance, about six blocks each way but it was unsupervised, and that was the norm back then. What has happened that it has become so dangerous that kids need to be bussed to school even if they're three blocks from the school?
Have you been to an American school recently? The elementary next to my house could be confused for a prison at first glance. It hasn't gotten bad, if anything it's actually safer than when we went to school. They have promoted a society of individuals ruled by fear.
@AngryCommieKender In my time you didn't hear of school shootings. They just didn't happen. So there was less need for the draconian security. My high school was open campus, and my Jr high we were at least allowed to leave during lunch. Different world today entirely. And I don't like it because it conditions people for 15 minute cities and other forms of tyranny.
Same. I vaguely remember some shooting happening my Jr. Year of HS. I wanna say Bowling Green or Paducah, KY. This was before Columbine. Columbine was my Freshman year at Transylvania University.
Car-centric society has made it damn near impossible to walk.
Those six blocks you used to walk have all had their lanes widened into stroads, one converted into a thoroughfare, and no attention was given to pedestrian infrastructure so crosswalks, sidewalks or bike paths are almost non-existent unless you're within 2 blocks of the school.
We have literally built most of our cities, or redesigned older cities that used to be pedestrian friendly and walkable, into a wasteland of asphalt and concrete designed exclusively for personal vehicles.
That sounds expensive. How many roads have such bike lanes? Hypothetically, if you wanted to replace a trip to the grocery store, how useful would they be?
@ebolapie They aren't. It's hard carrying six bags of groceries on a bicycle and not going to waste time and energy going daily. Hypothetically it would get me within half a mile of a grocery store I don't like, the one I do like is seven miles away.
Given the right bicycle it's pretty easy, but that's beside the point. The question is why don't people use bike lanes that seem pretty nice on the surface of it, right? There has to be a reason other than "bikes suck and nobody wants to ride them," because in some places people go everywhere on bicycles and they love it.
So what, really, is the main difference between those places and your town, if it's not the quality of the bike lanes?
A vicious cycle happened. 24 hour news reports every child abduction basically in the country, making parents feel that they're more common than they are. Kids freedom starts getting restricted. There's less kids outside, so parents are less comfortable letting their own kids out, and kids have less incentive to go out. At the same time, the number of indoor entertainment options explodes. As they stop being seen outside, the world adjusts to life without them.... Less crosswalks, less bikeable areas, less parks. With so few kids being outside the house, the parents who still encourage their kids to play outside or go do things become the minority and law enforcement fucks with them accordingly, as in this story, making parents even more reluctant to let their kids out of their sight.
There's some resistance to this. Free Range Kids comes to mind. People see the problem and want to do something. But as you can see even in this thread, people have so accepted "kids should stay inside supervised at all times" as the norm that it's an uphill battle.
restricted in your ability to travel is totally normal and not tyranny. Drivers licences are smart, Pilot license make sense, dang are speed limits tyranny?
15 minutes cities is just a concept that all or most of the typically important services citizens need to survive and thrive should be within a 15 minutes of where they live without REQUIRING a car. Modern car dependent culture is the tyranny if anything, and 15 minute cities idea is a response to that
@aeischeid For anyone capable of basic logic it would have been. Obviously having services readily available is not tyrannical, being unable to travel is, what other significant aspects of 15 minute cities are there? Do you really want your life controlled to this degree?
I have literally never seen the idea of a 15 minute city being restrictive anywhere other than the ravings of Alex Jones tier wingnuts. Everybody who actually pushes the concept just thinks you should have a grocery store, a doctor's office, a library etc. near your house.
Edit: and don't get it twisted, nobody is saying you should be forced to relocate either, it's a guideline for urban planning.
@Horse {they/them} No I grew up in a time where we had relative freedom. If I wanted to go lay on the beach and enjoy the stars and the sound of surf at 2AM, I could so so, if I wanted to set off fireworks on the 4th of July I could so so, or pretty much any other time as long as I wasn't creating a nuisance. I could drive downtown on any street. Now beaches are closed after dark, no more fireworks, kind of funny that we don't have the freedom to celebrate our freedoms, but then the constitution may as well be used for toilet paper these days, downtown now half the streets are bus only and the other half are one-way. I don't understand young peoples total lack of desire for freedom.
@silasmariner xford City Council have publicly stated that the 15-minute city concept does not involve travel restrictions and that traffic filters are not intended to confine people to their local area. If the "travel filters" are not intended to confine people to their local area, then what is their intent? Yea, to confine people.
@silasmariner I know because I've heard it described by people who live there. That's ok, go ahead and believe the WEF lies, let them enslave all of humanity. Good thing AI is becoming a thing because natural intelligence is sadly lacking.
No one capable of basic logic thinks 15 minute cities have anything to do with restricting travel. Either you're being disingenuous, or you're sorely lacking in the logic you think you possess.
@sthetic But that's not what they are doing. In Oxford, they blocked off most of the streets between the cities sections with planters forcing you to go to an outer ring, after people threatened to hang the city council they reneg'd but if you aren't vigilant this is what they do.
@sthetic I don't live there but relayed info from someone who does. You can sit quietly while they build a cage around you, that is not what I choose to do.
@sthetic And I'm young, I've been taught to comply and don't value my freedom, and I refuse to learn from history is enough for me to understand yours.
What's interesting about Western politics right now is that the more people #protest and resist, the more authoritarian governments become.
It's the only trick government have: silence dissent by arresting peaceful protesters and making laws to stop people saying things.
But this is only exposing the sham of Western free speech and democracy, and our leaders are only assisting this collapse in politics. The more they censor ideas, the more curious people get, the more people realise our governments serve corporations and colonialism over people.

TIL USB Type C management ICs have a "dead battery mode".
USB Power Delivery requires that the source and sink chat over the port's configuration channel to negotiate the voltage and power to deliver on VBUS. But that requires the downstream battery-powered device to be sufficiently on to run that negotiation.
IOW, if the battery powered device depletes its battery and the USB management IC loses power, when you plug a charger into the USB port, there's nobody there for the power source to talk to, electrically it looks like the cable isn't connected to anything. And so per the spec, the source provides none volts on VBUS in that condition. Your device really needs power, but it can't ask for power until it has power, and until then it looks to the charger like it's not even there.
You don't need to implement USB PD to be a USB device. Instead, you can place some resistors across a couple of the port's lines, which signals to the upstream device that yes, there is a device connected, and no, it doesn't support USB-PD negotiation and you should just supply the default 5V/3A on VBUS.
Dead battery mode is a trivial dead man's switch: the USB-PD management chip has an input signal, that it expects the local CPU/MCU to hold at logic high to show that it's alive. While the signal is high, the configuration channel lines are passed through to the processor, which handles the handshaking and negotiating.
But if that lifeline signal goes low, or the USB-PD chip itself loses power, then the configuration channel gets disconnected from the local CPU, and the standard "5V/3A please" signal resistors get connected instead. With that, the next time you plug the device in, it'll get the default 5V/3A, and can use that to boot up the USB-PD management silicon, flick the switch again to get control of the configuration channel, and do the negotiation to ask for more power.
Given how much the datasheets tout this feature, I presume it wasn't there in the first generation of USB-PD ICs, and that's how we got a rash of battery-powered devices that die unrecoverably if you let them discharge completely.
That also suggests a hacky fix for such devices, if you're brave enough to crack them open: locate the chips in charge of USB port management, figure out what power rails they're running off of (likely 3.3V), find a convenient test point or connector on that rail, and hook up an appropriate external power supply to the rail. Effectively you're giving the circuit board a jump-start, enough juice that the circuitry that manages USB-PD can start up, at which point it'll go "oh shit look at this power source that would like to send me power!", negotiate for whatever main supply rail it wants, and the rest of the board will boot and start recharging the battery.
Though hopefully now that it seems that most USB-PD management ICs have this integrated dead battery mode, the need to ever do that will go away.
I guess technically you could also do the jump-start through the USB port, you just have to violate the spec and blindly supply 5V/3A on VBUS even if the sense resistors aren't there. Just long enough for sense resistors and/or configuration channel traffic to show up, then you can go back to obeying the spec.
... Come to think of it I expect aliexpress has a little cottage industry of boards that let you do exactly that...
Two slight corrections: you can't ask for "standard 5V/3A", you only ask for 5V. The available current is advertised by the source with Rp (which has 3 options: either USB standard 100/150/500/900mA, 1.5A or 3A), the device does not ask for it.
Also, providing 5V on VBUS without Rd on CC does not violate the spec. USB-C sockets are not supposed to do that, but plugs can. Otherwise USB A to C cables would be illegal.

Is it wrong to enjoy art made by bad people? I think it's a very complicated question and the answers will definitely have a lot of variation between people. What if it really is a good art? Or just enjoyable? Should everyone avoid it? People still listen music by Michael Jackson, for example, are they bad because of it?
My own approach is that qualities of what someone creates don't need to be inseparably tied to the personality or views of the author. Everyone can enjoy what they like without the obligation to find out details of the author and adjust their preference based on that. It's fine to make them aware of the problems, it's not fine to make them feel bad because they like something that is not wrong on its own. If you dislike the author enough for it to spoil their works for you, good for you. I also feel this way about some authors. But don't require it from other people.
