uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0

and also

i just ssh to my rpi

im not coding on my device

i edit the files from remote server

[barren shale]

just put the constant outside the function

nad it should be as fast

[hasty bane]

this is fastapi yes?

[main brook]

yes

[hasty bane]

epic

[main brook]

hm yes

[tropic dagger]

Nah

[main brook]

imagine

corrupting

a virtual harddrive

[tropic dagger]

Oof

[main brook]

its oki i have backup

i was trying to resize the root filesystem

got it working now

[past chasm]

hiiiiii

[gleaming talon]

Me who codes scratch

[main brook]

that's nice

better than php

[wet girder]

atleast more fun lol

[main brook]

yes

jupe

what's helper role for

[hasty bane]

helping

[main brook]

o

oki

[orchid frigate]

Guys

Im very proud that I can now officially say

I use arch btw

[main brook]

nice

i should try arch tbh

[orchid frigate]

First impressions
The guy at the mechanics inserted the internet cable while the computer was on so it just crashed

He also had a shit ton of problems installing an os so its either that both of us suck or that something aint right

[orchid frigate]

Ok well i understand the warnings now

Arch is hard

And many problems came

Should be ok but still (also probably caused my first double fault on it so I feel proud)

Or just fault

[barren shale]

why would you define in runtime

that's stupid

[orchid frigate]

First discord message from arch lookin good

arch isnt as complicated actually

downloading stuff is really simple

the only problem is compatibility

[floral bloom]

Me regalan nitro

@floral bloom please read channel description

[rocky night]

Hello

[orchid frigate]

umm so I need some help with the linux file system

apparently my sda2 is full which is a ext4 mounted to...nothing???

its mounted to /

and its 100% used so I cant install anything

then we have sda3 another ext4 with 209gb of space mounted to home

but apparently its not because well I cant install anything on it...I guess

[tropic dagger]

No you can't use template metaprogramming when the app is running, so any inputs into the Paramus have to be compile time constants, so you can't put in user input, for example.

It's restricted to literals and pre-initialized vars (int i = 35; const int c = 86; // etc)

Declaring at runtime is dumb

[limber sparrow]

Please add castle walls

It will be so cool

like you have walls to defend

[swift nexus]

Add muskets

[jade rapids]

HELP i can get worlbox on mac when i click steam on the web it dosnt do anything

[knotty root]

If i was going to make mods for worldbox would i have to write them in the same coding language as worldbox?

[barren shale]

did you look at the context ?

wtf is that supposed to do

[spiral sonnet]

The OS is complete ?

Congrats

[orchid frigate]

No

I havent even got a chance to work on it lately

I have changed to arch linux which as much as I love arch and its design may have been a mistake considering I know nothing about Linux's terminal or file system

[wet girder]

Yes

[candid lynx]

Hey, anyone knows worldbox 's engine?

[wet girder]

unity

[hasty bane]

uhhhhhh
it does something, i guess

none of you know how long it took for me to install windows 10 diesel_cli

never doing it again on windows

[wet girder]

what are you using diesel_cli for?

[hasty bane]

rust postgresql

the setup process is really straightforward

except i spent literal weeks trying to fix it

well

it's not like i did it every day

because it was extremely frustrating

[wet girder]

All I've needed SQL for I've just used xampp

it's very easy and just plain works

[hasty bane]

🤔

Maybe

but it's too late to explore that now that i've actually got it working

still need to figure out frontend which is

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not really fun

what i have right now is very barebones, just html

with rust feeding data to pages

i wonder if i could get React working

[wet girder]

react is very easy

I've used it quite a lot

[hasty bane]

yeah it's not hard

im just curious if you can mix react and rust

Probably gonna have to read docs of the crates im using for exchanging data

[wet girder]

why do you even want to use rust

[hasty bane]

speed

[wet girder]

What are you planning to create?

[hasty bane]

a game, i guess

not i guess
it is a game

[wet girder]

Well then it make sense

[hasty bane]

yeah

[wet girder]

But why not just normal game with an engine

[hasty bane]

the scale isn't large enough to bother doing that xdd
easier to make a website than a game with proper networking and cheat prevention and everything

[wet girder]

You don't really need those before the game starts growing but understandable

[hasty bane]

oh btw

i've screwed around with various rust game engines

uhhh

they're not good

just don't

[orchid frigate]

So rust isnt the best language for anything game or graphics

It can do those things sure

But its very annoying and its definitely not designed for that

I have tried like 3 Graphics APIs on rust including vulkano and gfx and all of them had awful design

[hasty bane]

Yeah

[main brook]

iam gonna

fuckin

convert

32gb of disk

into swap

[main brook]

what?

also

the usual like

filesystem are

/dev/sda1 -> /boot
/dev/sda2 -> /

mounting a device to /home is eh

you probably want to reformat your partition

try df -h

and show me result

[main brook]

swp go brrr

[orchid frigate]

I deleted some pacman cache so I got some space back

but still something about this filesystem seems odd

also

when you install stuff through pacman or apt-get for other distros

do they go somewhere outside the home folder or inside the home folder where the command was run on

[wet girder]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT
Look at this video and you'll surely understand it atleast a bit more
https://youtu.be/A3G-3hp88mo

Also, Linux for hackers by networkchuck is the best linux introduction YouTube series I've ever seen

[orchid frigate]

alright

got steam working

[main brook]

first one

/home is for user files

for the rest of the filesystem are

/

like

/usr/lib

those are mounted on /

[orchid frigate]

oh so its most likely going in /

[main brook]

yes

basically

[orchid frigate]

thats bad

[main brook]

you usually don't mount /home

usually its like

[orchid frigate]

how will I fit everything on / when it only has 10gb

[main brook]

don't use

big

distro

or use musl based distro

also

your sda3 is fuckin

big

WHO THE HELL NEED THAT MUCH PARTITION FOR /home

you can like

backup /home

and then like

repartition your disk

basically resize sda2

to all the size

since /home is on /

/home will use the available size

id suggest use vm first

to play around

like qemu

[orchid frigate]

So I actually decided to try to get a mechanic to install arch for me

[main brook]

o

[orchid frigate]

and as soon as he said "This install was hard I had to type many commands"

I was like

"Oh fuck no"

[main brook]

but

why did they

use like

all the available size

for /home

10gb for arch isn't enough

[orchid frigate]

They probably havent used linux alot so they thought I would install stuff there rather than use packages

[main brook]

o

well

can you do

fdisk -l /dev/sda

(it shows the device partition table)

[main brook]

imagine using linux expecting not to install packages

[orchid frigate]

I mean idk the guy also installed the text interface version by mistake and complained about having to write to terminal

[main brook]

o

[orchid frigate]

So...he wasnt a linux expert per say

[main brook]

true

we love terminals

honestly

[orchid frigate]

downloading stuff via terminals is absolutely amazing

and terminals are great in general

[main brook]

yes

also

do you have any shit

on /home

[orchid frigate]

not really

[main brook]

what's inside it

[orchid frigate]

I got the pc yesterday so havent put much

[main brook]

ah

do you want to

mount all the remaining disk to /?

[orchid frigate]

a few pictures and an OS project from github

[main brook]

o

is it okay if

the files got lost

[orchid frigate]

ye idc about the files all of them are either broken or useless

[main brook]

agreed

[main brook]

okay great

basically all you need now is

okay first

do cat /etc/fstab

i wanna know result

[main brook]

i see the sda3

wait

where's the

sda1

[orchid frigate]

arch is really fun tho not as hard as I thought

uhhh

lemme check

[main brook]

where is your /boot mounted at

[orchid frigate]

there appears to be no sda1

[main brook]

what the

fuck

[orchid frigate]

it just works

[main brook]

interesting

[main brook]

thus is the full output?

[orchid frigate]

thus?

[main brook]

how doss your machine even boots without a bootable partition

[main brook]

its a typi

[orchid frigate]

I...

[main brook]

o

i meant

"this"

[orchid frigate]

it goes straight to grub so I dont find any problems booting

[main brook]

ah

you use a bootloader

[orchid frigate]

yea that I have written those

[main brook]

nice

well anyway

you might wanna resize sda2

remove sda3

[orchid frigate]

They exist on sector 1...or sector 0 idr the base

[main brook]

and then run a few commands

[main brook]

o

[orchid frigate]

no its sector 1 either heads or...actually this doesnt matter

[main brook]

true

well either way

we're not messing with the boot

[orchid frigate]

uhh what does this mean danger wise

whats the chance I fuck everything up and a reinstall is needed

because I kinda dont have a usb nor a good mechanic

[main brook]

well

basically

remove partition 3

and resize the partition 2

to all available size

the chances you fuck up everything is low

because

[orchid frigate]

Im pretty sure I have done that before but it was on windows and that does everything for you

[main brook]

/home will just be unmounted

[main brook]

o

[orchid frigate]

ok I think I understand

so lets get to doing this I should probably search a tutorial or the wiki

wiki is always better

[main brook]

there's this

https://medium.com/100-days-of-linux/how-to-resize-a-linux-root-file-system-af3e5096b4e4#:~:text=In Linux%2C there isn't,size in the same position.

also

check

if you have

e2fsck resize2fs

two of this command

[orchid frigate]

Ok writing from phone now but there is this thing

Where my entire pc crashes randomly

And I need to cold reboot

[main brook]

ah

what about your memory

is it enough?

try free -hw

(it shows your memory info and swap)

mine looks like this

[orchid frigate]

Lemme get a pic

[main brook]

oki

also

i suggest using

cfdisk

its easier

and more user friendly

[main brook]

gives actually more info

[main brook]

oki

its enough

[orchid frigate]

omg linux is so fast

its insane

[main brook]

try cfdisk /dev/sda

[main brook]

yes

[orchid frigate]

also what will happen to my desktop when I remount...oh wait I dont delete the folder

right

[main brook]

nope

it just unmounts it

i suggest like

logging in to root

because it'll use /root

instead of /home

so it doesn't fuck everything up

where's your desktop stored at though

[orchid frigate]

/home/alu/Desktop

[main brook]

no i mean

your desktop environment

lile

gnome or xfce4

where is it at

[orchid frigate]

xfce4

[main brook]

first off

try

sudo umount /home

if it fucked up

don't worry

you can reboot

it'll mount itself back

since its registered in /etc/fstab

[orchid frigate]

ohhhhh I get it

sda1 is sector 1

so its the bootloader

[main brook]

basically yss

usually

sda1 is mounted at

[orchid frigate]

ok Im actually learning about filesystems

[main brook]

/boot

[orchid frigate]

will need those later

[main brook]

mhm

[main brook]

try unmounting

/home first

lmao

[barren shale]

linux is better than windows he said as he suffers for days because of linux

[orchid frigate]

its not suffering

its fun

working on linux

[main brook]

yes its fun

its learning

[barren shale]

ur a masochist or smthing

[main brook]

haydot

you did unmount /home right?

[orchid frigate]

unmounting rn

[main brook]

oki

[orchid frigate]

also like where should I be in the terminal in this

[main brook]

eh?

[orchid frigate]

should I be outside of home

[main brook]

oh

yes

[orchid frigate]

on root

[main brook]

don't be in /home

and i suggest using root user

because

its on /root

instead of /home

[orchid frigate]

target is busy

[main brook]

nice

okay since that happens

is there a way you can run iso file

on your pc

so like

it doesn't boot arch

so nothing is mounted

[orchid frigate]

I can't think of a way of doing this without a usb

[main brook]

oh wait i have a better idea

do cfdisk /dev/sda

[orchid frigate]

Rei the linux specialist

[main brook]

resize partition 3 to

8gb ish

or whatever to make your contents fit

in this case

5gb is enough

just navigate to the sda3

and resize

and put

5G

after that

resize sda2

and make it take all the available size

don't write yet

[orchid frigate]

ok about to do this

[main brook]

okie

when you done

take a picture of the screen

make sure you don't frick up

like i did

and accidentally reformatted my whole disk

[orchid frigate]

im more nervous than that time I shouted I will kill you in a dark street and someone responded

[main brook]

lmao

this is a stressful process

[tropic dagger]

No way

[main brook]

but we can do it

[main brook]

yes way

[orchid frigate]

Ok uhhh

[main brook]

what happened

[orchid frigate]

Resized sda3 to 5G

[tropic dagger]

Bruh someone responded to someone else saying "I will kill you" in a shady location.
There's no way, that's too perfect.

[main brook]

nice

what about sda2

[orchid frigate]

Got 208.1Gs free

[main brook]

usually cfdisk tries to take all available size

[orchid frigate]

But sda2 limits to 10.....bytes

[main brook]

WHAT

[orchid frigate]

Is a big number

[main brook]

wait what

[tropic dagger]

What the hell?

[orchid frigate]

No no wait

[main brook]

it is

[orchid frigate]

Its not 10 bytes

[main brook]

send me

send us

image

[orchid frigate]

Its 10alot of number bytes

[main brook]

of the terminal

[main brook]

o

[tropic dagger]

Pics or it didn't happen.

[main brook]

lmao

change the type

to 83

oh look

sda1

its a EFI system

[orchid frigate]

dont touch sda1 the bootloader wont be happy

[main brook]

yes

[orchid frigate]

also what

wdym type

[main brook]

see the

"type"

nav

press it

and look for

(83) Linux

idk why its for Linux Home

usually / is mounted as linux

either way

the type works for ext4

sk don't worry

you won't need to like

do shit

[orchid frigate]

I cant seem to find 83

[main brook]

what

send me

the range

on the number 8X

[orchid frigate]

Phone is easier

[main brook]

ah

check for

"Linux"

just that

[orchid frigate]

Why cant this have a search bar damnit

[main brook]

because it doesn't

sadly

[orchid frigate]

Anyway uhh no just linux but I did find alot of linux types

[main brook]

jesus christ

hm

try changing it to Linux Filesystem

[orchid frigate]

Ok changed it

[main brook]

ok try resize

again

[orchid frigate]

To linux filesystem

[main brook]

does it work?

oh wait

the table

its gpt

not dos

[orchid frigate]

There is still a maximum size

Also im guessing write would save changes and im also guessing that will fuck things up

[main brook]

yes

for noe just

quit

it won't save

and then redo

this time use 50gb

for the /dev/sda2

gpt sucks

its for uefi based boot

[orchid frigate]

Wait before doing this

Shouldn't sda2 be linux home...wait why is it linux home

Its not even mounted to home

[main brook]

exactly

because

gpt partition table

the one used for windows

i guess the only way out here is

use an iso

for your pc

so you can do changes there

since sda won't be mounted

nothing is using it

hence not booting

[orchid frigate]

Ok well 50gs didnt work either

Yep that seems to be the case

[main brook]

yes

sadly

if you want

you can use void iso

its good

but heavy

[orchid frigate]

Well im sure I can handle with 10 gb for a while

[main brook]

for this task

[orchid frigate]

Until I get a usb which i break like the last 5

[barren shale]

ew

[orchid frigate]

Thats a really powerful comment

[main brook]

hmm

you don't have a usb?

[orchid frigate]

no

[main brook]

sad

[orchid frigate]

broke the last one

[tropic dagger]

How did you break 5 USBs?

[orchid frigate]

after not knowing how to use grub

[orchid frigate]

I do os dev stuff

[tropic dagger]

Oh

Oh

[orchid frigate]

And I dont know how to use grub

[barren shale]

dont tell him that he can just reformat the USB

[orchid frigate]

But thats hard(shut it) and I lost it

[tropic dagger]

I would think he tried that.

Oh he didn't.

Bruh

[orchid frigate]

I tried that for like 5 minutes and gave up cuz the last usb was shit anyway

[tropic dagger]

Makes sense.

[orchid frigate]

the other 4 I lost after putting them in a backpack for 5 months

[tropic dagger]

Damn.

You are the death of USBs.

You have lost USB privilege.

[orchid frigate]

I may be the death of USBs but im the start of every USB company

[main brook]

i have 1

[tropic dagger]

I mean, that's kinda true.

[orchid frigate]

I get people rich

[main brook]

wait haydot

do you not have

literally anything

to boot from

other than your disk

[orchid frigate]

I do have one usb which is kinda small and important

and has stuff on it

[main brook]

oh

how

[orchid frigate]

and...other stuff to boot from...

[main brook]

big is it

[orchid frigate]

I need to check what devices I have

[wet girder]

I have only one USB stick which contents I'm never gonna change again as I'm scared it'll be hard to get win10 installation sticks made soon

[main brook]

i have 3

bootable

disk

[main brook]

ah

[wet girder]

I'm never changing to win11 and I need windows for gaming

[orchid frigate]

win11 is shit

[main brook]

win11 kinda sucks

[wet girder]

exactly

[tropic dagger]

Yeah Win11 is just Win10 but with new textures and slower performance.

[orchid frigate]

and worse setting design

[main brook]

more bloated

[wet girder]

and less developer tools

[main brook]

and spyware

[wet girder]

I think

[orchid frigate]

and more marketable

[main brook]

windows is basically now

"everyone can use except you can't edit the system because fuck you"

[wet girder]

yep

[tropic dagger]

Pretty much.

It gives too much power to the user

[orchid frigate]

You are trying to write to a folder you made in desktop? Where is your permission

[main brook]

lmao

[main brook]

its basically like android now

[barren shale]

actually win11 is faster than win10 on the latest intel CPUs

[wet girder]

I'm most likely gonna change to Linux whenever I find a reliable way to use epic games on Linux and a good alternative for visual studio as nothing beats it for C# from what I've seen

[barren shale]

because of the schedular

[main brook]

there's

wine

[wet girder]

I said reliable lol

[orchid frigate]

thats good for 10% of the population

[main brook]

ah

vm

windows vm

[barren shale]

rider is actually very good

[tropic dagger]

Linux has a version of Visual Studio Code.

[barren shale]

sometimes its better

[main brook]

visual studio*

not vsc

[barren shale]

remove the "code" and then it doesnt

[wet girder]

I know but I need Visual Studio 2019 for school

[tropic dagger]

No it has vsc

[main brook]

i meant

[barren shale]

just use Rider

[main brook]

jupe was talking about

[tropic dagger]

VS is the IDE

[main brook]

vs

[barren shale]

i use it sometimes

[main brook]

not vscode

[wet girder]

lemme check it

[tropic dagger]

Yeah I know now.

[barren shale]

its better sometimes

[wet girder]

it's from jetbrains

this must be good

[barren shale]

and expensive

:)

[orchid frigate]

ok also @main brook thanks for helping in these hard times

[wet girder]

I've never seen bad jetbrains development tool

[main brook]

[wet girder]

I have GitHub student developer pack lol

[main brook]

i don't

[barren shale]

:(

[main brook]

apparently github be like

"your report card doesn't show anything!"

[orchid frigate]

jupe gets all the cool shit

[main brook]

when i showed

my full name

[wet girder]

I gave them my school email

[main brook]

school name

grades

[orchid frigate]

he got the adobe thing from school

[main brook]

parents name

even my nik

[main brook]

i gave them my school email too

but

they reject me for not showing enough proof

iam a student

[orchid frigate]

at my school I got suspended from using a computer without the teacher telling me to

[main brook]

what

[orchid frigate]

use it

[main brook]

that's dumb

[wet girder]

For me the process was, give them email, wait 2 days, get cool shit

[orchid frigate]

Well I did kinda deserve it

[main brook]

atleast you're not a hacker or whatever

[orchid frigate]

I flexed on the teacher the entire year about how good I am and how I make dangerous shit so she was like "Yea dont get close to the pc please"

[main brook]

wait

haydot

[wet girder]

lmao

[main brook]

i have an idea

what id

if

we swap the /etc/fstab

/home to / and / to /home

[wet girder]

Me and my friend kept joking about hacking the whole last school year in lower secondary school and no one gave a shit because we were friends with the IT guy in the school

[main brook]

and then reboot

[wet girder]

we actually did MITM on our phones at school once

like attacked our phones

not do it to others

[orchid frigate]

rebooting after doing something like this is always so scary

[main brook]

agree

try use a vm

use qemu

qemu uses custom

file location

so its not in /usr

except for its dependencies

and of course

binary

which is less

than like 500mb

[main brook]

what

[orchid frigate]

I can hack (loads cmatrix)

[main brook]

omg he's hacking!!!

ban!

basically

showing matrix in green colour

is hacking

[orchid frigate]

Yes but

[main brook]

because stereotypes from movies

[orchid frigate]

pressing R

makes rainbow symbols

[wet girder]

yep

[orchid frigate]

so its extra dangerous hacking

[main brook]

what how

[orchid frigate]

yea

there are many things you can do in cmatrix

slow down speed up

go upside down

[main brook]

@orchid frigate try installing qemu

[orchid frigate]

already got it

[main brook]

NICE

[wet girder]

We did stuff like scanning the school Network for open ports and stuff like that and actually reported possible vulnerabilities to the IT guy so no matter what we did no one cared

[orchid frigate]

I use it like 90% of the time for testing

[main brook]

now qemu-common and qemu-utils

is it installed

[main brook]

oh

that's nice

[orchid frigate]

Thats nice

Now that I think about what I would do I kinda scare myself

[wet girder]

sounds cooler than it is, we literally only found like 3 random web servers with something that looked like security camera stuff

[main brook]

oh

nice

[orchid frigate]

If I find vulnerabilities at my school I would honestly probably test them before reporting

[wet girder]

and they were open to the internet so we were just like yo this could be bad

[orchid frigate]

"test"

[main brook]

lmao

[wet girder]

lmao

[main brook]

why everyone so honest

[orchid frigate]

Yea I dont enjoy my school alot sometimes

[main brook]

haydot try running alpine vm

on qemu

[orchid frigate]

jesus why does my pc keep randomly crashing

its like the cpu gets a fault

[main brook]

try

dmesg

after you cold reboot

[orchid frigate]

read kernel buffer failed

hmmm

lemme get my kernel knowledge all up in here

Yea I got nothing

havent coded in 3 weeks

I can barely make a working bootloader and thats the easiest part of an os suprisingly

[main brook]

HAYDOT GUESS WHAT

[orchid frigate]

uhh

apples

[main brook]

does "Linux root system" appears

in the type list

[main brook]

peaches

[orchid frigate]

Tomato

[orchid frigate]

Pretty sure I saw it yea

[main brook]

so

/ is supposed to be that

instead of linux home

[orchid frigate]

ok so I do same thing but with linux root thing

[main brook]

yes

now

[orchid frigate]

goddamnit its not there

[main brook]

delete sd2

oh

fuck

well i guess we'll keep it as home

okay so

delete sda2

and then add it

[orchid frigate]

what

[main brook]

there's "delete" nav

[orchid frigate]

yea I get that part but

[main brook]

and then

new

[orchid frigate]

Isnt sda2...root

[main brook]

yeah but

[orchid frigate]

ohhh

ok ok

[main brook]

its at runtime

changes won't be saved until write

and then reboot

and it should also

be the default type

[orchid frigate]

question before I do this

[main brook]

hm?

[orchid frigate]

If i accidentally press write but dont reboot

can I revert

[main brook]

basically no

unless

you revert it manually

that max size is a pain in the ass

so

[orchid frigate]

I can do that I will just have to take a screenshot of how its rn

[main brook]

yes

please

send it here too

when you write

it should tries to re read the partition table

[main brook]

which will fail

because

its not fully read

what about the now version

screenshot it too

[orchid frigate]

the now as in like

[main brook]

the after

[orchid frigate]

after I do everything

[main brook]

you recreate

[orchid frigate]

ok

[main brook]

the sda2

[orchid frigate]

ok so steps:

1. delete sda2
2. Create sda2
3. Save it as....LInux filesystem type?
4. Give it much memory

[main brook]

basically

delete sd2

create sda2

let it take default memory

which is usually all of them

and just

keep it as the default

type

screenshot it

don't write yet until we're ready

[orchid frigate]

ok

I deleted it

still has a max size

[main brook]

HM

fuck

[orchid frigate]

lemme slowly exit and reset everything

ok no changes made

Is there another tool for this

[main brook]

there's gparted

[orchid frigate]

is it good

[main brook]

kinda

but i doubt

it'll fix our issue

[orchid frigate]

eh I have like 10Gs only available anyone so the pc isnt very useful anyone so lets have some fun

OH DAMN

nice ui

Wait it actually looks really good

wait why would it not fix the problem tho

it seems to have all the tools for resizing and stuff

[main brook]

because

we're still

booting from the os

[orchid frigate]

here's a dumb question

exactly how bad of an idea is it to unmount sda2

if i can

or wait we are trying to do that...

[main brook]

basically

you can't

"resources busy"

[orchid frigate]

file systems are amazing and terrible

[main brook]

yes

if only you can like

use another person computer

to partition your disk

[orchid frigate]

I do have a laptop

[main brook]

i-

you could've used that

[orchid frigate]

But doing anything on it may result in a crash

[main brook]

og

oh

[orchid frigate]

its like kinda old and I cant reinstall windows to clean it

not because i cant but because its kinda like the home pc and...yea this explanation is useless

[main brook]

wait

wait

changing the sda3 works right?

[orchid frigate]

waiting
waiting

[main brook]

seems like

its gpt

issue

i also

have the issue

with unmounted disk

[orchid frigate]

damn thats not much space

but anyway so the problem is this stupid limit

what if I try to set it to the limit

[main brook]

Lmao

well

looks like

all we can do

is switch the position

from fstab

and also the params

or not

basically

[orchid frigate]

Ok im guessing this is like plan B type situation

So what will we gain from this

wait

[main brook]

switch

[orchid frigate]

Oh

[main brook]

/home to sda2

/ to sda3

[orchid frigate]

we dont return home back we put root to home

ah

[main brook]

also

replace the pass to

and then

move the whole line

above

so it should be like

can you

paste the fstab

here

[orchid frigate]

Im just thinking how insanely difficult it will be to create a file system on my own

[main brook]

i don't wanna write all that

[orchid frigate]

So many little quirks and stuff

Anyway

[main brook]

send me the fstab

[orchid frigate]

Doing it

[main brook]

oki

im waiting

[orchid frigate]

ok my brain died for a second there its fine im back

[main brook]

oki

you know you can just

[orchid frigate]

ok but like wdym by sending you the fstab do you mean like the same thing

[main brook]

yes

the one in

/etc/fstab

[orchid frigate]

because i kinda forgot or dont know what it is

[main brook]

unchanged

the contents of it

lmao

[orchid frigate]

ok brb im getting reports from discord

[main brook]

oki

[orchid frigate]

I got like the cleanest screenshot ever it felt satisfying

also what is 0 1 and 0 2

and why are we replacing it

[main brook]

its the the order

for checking

the docs suggest

0 1

for /

and 0 2 for /home

also

haydot

as text

not image

[orchid frigate]

Ok

# Static information about the filesystems.

#swapfile
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0

try this

write to /etc/fstab

and then reboot

it will work

but i think

wait

[orchid frigate]

I should probably try it in qemu first

Just in case

[main brook]

yeah

and also

cfdisk

[hasty bane]

this stuff looks spooky

[main brook]

replace the type

sda2 to linux home

[orchid frigate]

Filesystems

[main brook]

sda3 to linux filesystem

[hasty bane]

yeah imma stay away from that

y know

[orchid frigate]

Are the spookiest

[hasty bane]

i value my sanity

[main brook]

yes

yesterday yesterday

[hasty bane]

or, whatever is left

[main brook]

i accidentally

[orchid frigate]

Please do

[hasty bane]

of my sanity

[main brook]

reformatted

my

disk

[orchid frigate]

File systems destroy sanity

[orchid frigate]

Sounds like a bad idea

Yea idea that is not the right word but my heart rate of doing this for the first time is like 300

[main brook]

yes

i know that feeling

gpt sucks tbh

[orchid frigate]

Ok so the plan:

1. Change fstab to your(e) version
2. Reboot

[main brook]

not yet

[orchid frigate]

Seems simple enough

[main brook]

change the types

cfdisk

sda2 -> linux home

sda3 -> linux filesystem

because linux home is for /home partition

linux filesystem is for /

[orchid frigate]

Ummm

Its already that

So maybe

The guy was planning to do that too

At the mechanics

They are switched around

[main brook]

what

let me see

oh waut

nevermind

its

reversed

silly mr

its almost 4am

so anyway

also

waut

no

sda2 is linux home before

oh wait
