So you can enable it and then run:

sudo fwupdmgr get-updates

And you will get a list of what would be updated with the testing repo, and then you can disable it again if it doesn’t return a result that one can work with.

You could try enabling the lvfs test-repo

sudo fwupdmgr enable-remote lvfs-testing

And the run

sudo fwupdmgr update

But what will the poor billionaires do?

Are you using OpenVPN with these providers? And if so, have you tried switching to WireGuard if it’s supported by the provider?

Isn’t that Paul Atreides?

So you are saying that old fashioned police work… works?

You are still the best… and a beast.

I stub my toe and I won’t look at a PR for two weeks.

You are a beast, back surgery and a feature list that long… please just don’t burn yourself out.

If I can at least help on stranger on the internet… well, then I have helped one stranger on the internet 😂

Let’s say you want to test a drive that is mounted on /tmp… you just cd into that directory and you can use my example.

You can use

$> df -h or $> mount

to check how your drive is mounted in the OS Most ”default ” installations will have 1-4 partitions and / being partition 3 or 4.

So if you look at the mount command and / is /dev/sdX3 (where X can be a-z depending on how many drives you have connected) and no other mounts are in the output then every directory under / is on that drive… so you can run my example from your home-directory if you fancy that.

The cool thing about rsync is that it goes ”BRRRRRRRRR!” like a warthog… the plane… and it can saturate the receiving drive or array depending on your network and client. And getting 180 with rsync… on a SATA drive, can’t really hope for more.

And you can run a quick n dirty test is using dd

$> dd if=/dev/zero of=1g-testfile bs=1g count=1

If you use scp (cp over ssh) you should see the transfer speed.

Fair enough, I’ll show up at the office when they pay me for the time I just wasted commuting to the office. It’s my only ”asset” that is truly mine in this day and age.

I read, ”The producer blew a couch” and in this context it kinda made sense… I am too tired to actually be allowed access to things.

Oh, /e/ is a really good suggestion.

There is always the route of compiling your own kernel, it all depends on how adventurous you feel… and how much spare time you have.

Edit: /e/OS has a quite big selection of phones if you just drill down into their docs

Yeah, I should have been more specific, “Check out LineageOS, they have a list of supported devices, you can also trawl xda-developers for info and guides”

Check out LineageOS and have a look at the xda developer forum for more info.

And I did a quick search that listed a few good starting points… running a custom rom on your phone is quite liberating… but also a rabbit hole that is deeper than any black hole in the universe. Have fun and good luck!

Edit: ‘cause autocorrect

I actually got this reference 😂

And the Olympic Games in shifting the goal post has officially opened!

Actually never did, tried Logseq and found that the sweet spot of being to lazy and having what I need in obsidian made me stick with it
