I haven’t properly used Windows in a long time, but I have a feeling the disk checking might be caused by fast startup. Basically Windows hibernates instead of fully shutting down, and the disk should never be touched while hibernated. But if you have the NTFS partition mounted in Linux, then it touches the disk anyway.
Is fast startup enabled in Windows? If so, try disabling it. It also isn’t needed on SSDs and does more harm than good.
I can dig it…but surely the simple option is to have the PC wake up on power restoration, right?
After the PC shuts down, the UPS runtime will increase by a lot. So the power might come back before the UPS turns off, so as far as the PC can see, the power was never lost.
Edit: Also I assumed you meant restore on after AC loss, and not the last state.
Not to wreck your joke, but certificates have a starting date on them too, so the epoch also won’t work.
What type of SSD? NVMe usually has a special instruction which will reset each whole NAND chip, and usually takes a few seconds. I think SATA does as well, but it’s not commonly supported.
Also kernel 6.12 has support until 2035, so it’s not like anyone running these CPUs would be missing out on security updates for a while.
Yes, but an SSD you already own is cheaper than buying a new one. So it’s interesting to see how much improvement an NVMe SSD would make if someone were to upgrade from a SATA one.
They’re talking about the battery percentage, not porting their phone number.
I’ve got a Framework 13 7840U and I’ve never had issues with S0ix sleep. Very early on, apparently the keyboard would spuriously wake the laptop, but that’s been fixed for years now, and I’ve never noticed it.
On some other (non-Framework) laptops you can enable S3 using Smokeless_UMAF, but it just results in a black screen on resume for mine.

Whenever the AI uses those XML tags, it displays the ① ② ③ headings. I believe it saying it hallucinated them is a hallucination itself.
Do not worry about emulated block size, because ssds only use that to report to the filesystem, no sectors exist on solid state media.
Well SSDs have flash pages, which are essentially sectors as they are the smallest unit you can read/write, and they’re usually 4096 bytes on NAND flash. My understanding is to write to a flash page you have to erase the whole block of 32+ pages before writing, so if a 512e SSD doesn’t receive the rest of the page in time (e.g. with IO scheduling, 512 byte fs sectors, unaligned partitions, or bad luck), then the controller has to do a read-erase-program across the whole block of pages (although wear leveling will probably read + copy the modified page to elsewhere instead), instead of just a single program operation on one page (assuming a properly trimmed SSD).
So IMO, 4Kn is more important on SSDs, yet every vendor sets 512e by default. Luckily quite a few NVMe SSDs (not Samsung), let you change the logical block size with an nvme format command.
But more related to the OP, HDDs are a lot slower and don’t have to erase multiple sectors before a write, so it’s not as important, however partition alignment is still important but usually handled automatically in every modern partitioning tool. Sometimes you can switch a HDD to 4Kn with hdparm, but this isn’t common, and you’ve said your HDD is dead anyway, so it won’t help.
Also, sorry about bringing you into this, I have strong opinions against 512e SSDs haha.
Just be careful, I think I got a fake. I noticed the firmware was out of date, so I tried the Intel SSD update tool, which errored out with “Please contact Intel Customer Support for further assistance”. Now the SSD no longer mounts and puts a bunch of nvme errors in the dmesg.
It’ll go to the lock screen and eventually go dark. RDP (on Windows) doesn’t let you share screens/controls, AFAIK.
I believe Fwupd can also update your Secure Boot certificates.
Also, a backdoor in this particular program can steal your PGP keys.
Now you can make that decision. Evolution is also available from the Debian and Arch (and others) repos without sandboxing, if you’d prefer it to have access your whole system.
You can also remove those permissions with the Flatpak cli, or Flatseal.
It’s in no way like Android where “OpenKeychain” were forced to define a protocol and now reading a key prompts the user.
I don’t see why this couldn’t be done with Secret Service, just no one does so no one expects it. You should email one of the mailing lists for GnuPG if this bothers you though.
Oh, and one of the few dozen local privilege escalations found by AI in the mountains of trash of our great kernel completely negate all of this.
Well yeah, sandboxing/containers/namespaces were never guaranteed to be fully isolated, there’s a reason all the cloud companies settled on VMs over containers. It’s just one line of defence that you otherwise wouldn’t have.
Well, both the Flathub website and KDE Discover list this, so this seems like a GNOME issue and not a Flatpak issue.
KDE Discover:
The Immich app (at least on Android) supports mTLS client certificates, I use that for my instance.
If you really have to use Adobe Acrobat Reader, it works fine in CrossOver, which is paid but it supports the wine developers.
Also if it helps with getting it working in Wine, these are the installers that CrossOver uses:
You need the web site to use a certificate from the same root authority as your client certificate.
I’m not sure if I’ve misunderstood you, but I use Lets Encrypt for the server’s TLS, and then my own CA cert (which is only present on the webserver) for the client’s mTLS and everything works fine, since it’s the client that validates the server’s cert and the server that validates the client’s cert.
Systemd can also create a temporary user, with
DynamicUser. But I so very rarely see that being used.You can also add the
CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICEcapability to do this without root.IMO, there’s usually no reason to use root in a systemd service, it’s just ignorant developers.
