🧵 5/n let's see how #Copilot (incognito) fares.

At 1st glance, it confirms my initial bias towards the STATE partition - that's the big partition, that looks like a persistent "USERDATA" overlay.

It seems, i can access the #crosh terminal (ChRome Os SHell) via Ctrl+Alt+t (not sure about case-sensitivity; uppercase T, technically means Ctrl+Alt+Shift+t)

..i'll reboot into #FydeOS, and try this 1st, before hacking around in parallel-boot environments like #PartedMagic.

Oh my dudeness!
What heretical mess is that? 🤣

I've _never_ seen such an elaborate partition table before! 🤓👍

This fine specimen is the result of installing #FydeOS on the tablet. I'm using #PartedMagic to figure out whether i can configure a 4G swapfile.

Since the STATE partition is the largest one, and likely akin to what other systems call the USERDATA partition, i'll look for an fstab there. I reckon, it might survive system updates.

This is Plan A.

#Linux #ChromeOS #ChromiumOS

Der Win 11 PC meiner Eltern meinte sich gegen unberechtigte Anmeldeversuche schützen zu müssen, und hat diese 2h Sperrfrist aktiviert. Vermutlich wurde er bloß in einem ungünstigen Zeitpunkt vom Strom getrennt.
Dummerweise schaltet der PC nach wenigen Minuten in den Energiesparmodus, ihn wieder aufzuwecken resettet aber scheinbar die 2h wieder, auch nach Ablauf der Zeit. 🤦
Userpasswort löschen mit #partedmagic hat nicht funktioniert, laut Software war gar keines gesetzt. 🤔
Das resetten der Sperrzeit durch den Energiesparmodus war bis dahin nur eine Theorie, die überprüft werden wollte.
Also Mousejiggler auf dem #flipperZero geladen 2h jiggeln lassen - und dann konnte ich mich ganz normal mit dem Passwort anmelden.

Da hat sich Windows aber ein ganz tolles Softlock ausgedacht.

🧵 3/n ..i doubt that i could've fracked up that hard, mounting something under /home - my ~ is a separate partition!

I'll reboot into #PartedMagic or something, LATER - investigate what's actually going on, on my Label=Manjaro partition.

Perhaps, there's more structure under /home that gets written to? Seems to be a rather esoteric scenario, because i've partitioned and specified Label=Home to be mounted at /home during the #Manjaro #Linux install.

If you're one of those idiots who partitioned their #Manjaro / #Linux wrong enough, you suck at least as hard as i! 😅

I might be able to resize / move my partitions around. #KDEPartitionManager / #PartedMagic / #Gparted.

I'd have to shrink my #btrfs SteamLibrary, which doesn't support shrinking - NAS backup+restore via 10GbE.

but you get to pass-through USB sticks to test VMs 🍻🤣👍 ..pretty neat ..you can plug the stick into other machines, and just boot it

🧵 2/n

well, i did execute a dd-wipe before, via #PartedMagic (the "live" boot option that doesn't require more than 2gig of RAM)

…i just "took off, and nuked the whole place, from orbit"

it's "…the only way to be sure" 😅

Resetting my Dell/Wyse 3040 thin client, using the integrated tools.

I'm still not quite sure whether i should re-sell, or re-use it as a secondary #PiHole #DNS filter.

I've measured it at 6.5 Watts PEAK-ish, usually more like 3.5W, running #PartedMagic (using an SEM6000 smart plug)

8gig of storage, 2gig of ram, Atom x5-Z8350 quad-core

*sigh* it's 20 bucks on eBay, or another PiHole …anyone, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller? 😅

I haven't tried the restore process, yet. But I kinda love the #RescueZilla distro (a #CloneZilla GUI[?]) - it's less complicated than pure text mode. I might keep using this, instead of #PartedMagic. (PM still has the best GUI for SATA/ NVMe secure erase, though [afaik])
