What a bunch of cringe edgy antinatalist nonsense. Think about the future, if you don't have kids, who are we gonna feed to the machine a few decades from now?

I figure that the administrators of your homeserver could see your IP address, I doubt that it would be sent to anyone you are just chatting with.

Ive only had to setup a nvidia system once, so I might be missing some packages, but I think pacman -Rns nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils should get rid of all of it.

What about something like this:

for i in /media/johann/5461-000B/DCIM/100MEDIA/*.AVI; do newpath="$HOME/Public/240321/$(basename "$i" | sed 's/^IMAG/240321_/g')"; ffmpeg -i "$i" -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:20 "$newpath" && rm "$i"; done

If its just / owned by the mint user, you should just able to run chown root:root / as root/sudo, dont use -R. This should make root become the owner of /. Now if all files and directories in the partition are owned by the mint user, this might be a bigger problem

As long as the kde neon partition is still there, recovery should be possible. You will need a way to boot into a linux environment like a installation media of just about any distro, where you will be able to mount your kde neon install, chroot in, and reinstall grub. Now I dont know your system or how you have it setup, but I can try and give some basic instructions.

So first things first, you are gonna want to get into a linux environment and open a terminal and start a root shell, this may be different depending on your environment, but its pretty much just:

sudo bash

or

su -l root

now if either of these ask you for a password, and its not presented somewhere, you may have to search on the internet for like installation disk default password, but hopefully sudo is just setup to run without one.

Now that you are in the root shell, you need to find the name of the block device that corresponds with your kde neon partition, the lsblk utility can be used to list all detected block devices, you are gonna want to find the one with the same size as your kde neon partition, this will likely be the one. Now if your partition has a label on it, you can use ls to look into the /dev/disk/by-label/ directory and see if you see your partitions label there, if so, you can just mount it like this:

mount /dev/disk/by-label/example-label /mnt

If the /dev/disk/by-label/ directory does not exist, it just means that none of the partitions are labeled. If you are having trouble determining what partition has your data, you can try mounting each one and looking inside, and unmounting them if it doesnt have your kde neon install like this:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
ls /mnt
umount /mnt

sda1 is just an example here, it may be different on your system.

Now when you have found the partition that has your kde neon install and mounted it to /mnt, you can now cd in and bind mount the special directories like this:

cd /mnt
mount -t proc /proc proc/
mount -t sysfs /sys sys/
mount --rbind /dev dev/

now if you are booting using UEFI, you will have to bind mount the efivars directory with this command:

mount --rbind /sys/firmware/efi/efivars sys/firmware/efi/efivars/

Now with everything mounted, you should be ready to chroot in and reinstall grub, you can chroot with this command:

chroot /mnt /bin/bash

Now that you are in your kde neon install, you can reinstall grub, the installation process may vary depending on if you are booting legacy BIOS or UEFI, to install grub on bios, you would run:

grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda

now /dev/sda is just an example here, but you want to install it to the main disk, dont install it to a partition like sda1 or something.

But if you are on efi, there may be an extra mount involved, the EFI system partition, now if the EFI system partition gets mounted automatically in normal circumstances, you should be able to just run:

mount -a

this command will mount the partitions listed in the /etc/fstab file. If the partition was destroyed, it will have to be recreated. If it is not listed in the fstab and is not automatically mounted, you may have to seek it out manually with lsblk, it should be the smallest partition, use the mount command to mount it to /boot/efi, creating this directory if it does not already exist. If you have to create one, just make a partition with at least 16 megs of space, and format it as a FAT partition, you can use the mkfs.msdos or mkfs.fat command line utilities like this:

mkfs.msdos /dev/sda2

where /dev/sda2 is the free space that is gonna be used for the system partition, this command is destructive, and will overwrite any data on the partition, so make sure you enter the one with just free space.

Once you know what partition is your efi system partition, and you have mounted it to /boot/efi in the chroot, you can now install the UEFI version of grub, you can use this command

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi

and for good measure/backup incase grub cant tell your firmware where it is located, you can install it to the removable media path where your firmware will look if it doesnt have any entries with this command:

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --removable

And finally, once you have installed grub for either UEFI or BIOS, you can generate the config file, like this:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Now you can reboot using the reboot command like this:

reboot

it should take care of unmounting everything for you, make sure you remove whatever installation media if you are using any from your system. And hopefully it should just boot into the normal grub menu and start your kde neon install.

I did a internet search on "AAAD" and I found this github repository. I'm not sure if it is the same, but they seem to serve the same purpose and share the same name. I took a look into the code and I saw something about Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID in AboutPaymentActivity.kt, so I did some searching on that, and according to a person on stackoverflow, Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID is a ID unique to every app on your phone, this ID will persist across uninstalls and reinstalls. The only reason it should change is if the package name or signing key changes. Also it should be different for different users on the phone, but im guessing it might not be possible to add more users on android auto, im not sure, I've never really used one.

Now, about circumventing it, you could modify the source code and remove the license verification checks and rebuild, but this might not be legal, I'm not to good with legal stuff, but the license had a few words that suggest it might be non-free, but if software licenses arent an issue, feel free! There is also the option of just resigning the apk with your own key, which should change the ID, I believe you can do this in luckypatcher with one click, but lucky patcher is kind of sketchy and might not be able to work on android auto, I dont know much about them.

I hope this helps, im sorry I couldnt find any like anything that could just reset it and be done with it, maybe someone else might chime in with a more helpful answer.

If Firefox can read it from disk without a password, any other program running as your user can read it from disk without a password. But to prevent this you can encrypt your Firefox profile with a password.

When your browser connects to a website, it will tell the webserver what type of browser you are using in the HTTP headers. This can be used for serving a special web page for browsers with quirks, or it can be used to block certain browsers.

It may look something like this:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

But you can use an extension like this one to spoof your user agent and send out one that corresponds to a chromium browser.

I use SSH with port fowarding to securely access my services running on my server to anywhere I have internet. Its easy to setup, just expose any device running a ssh server like openssh to the internet, probably on a port that isnt 22, and with key only authentication.

Then on whatever device you want to get your services on you can do like

ssh -p 8022 -L 8010:192.168.75.111:80 user@serverspublicip

Where 8022 is the port of the ssh server exposed to the internet (default is 22), 8010 is the port its gonna bind to on the device you are using the client (it will bind to 127.0.0.1 by default), 192.168.75.111:80 is the address/hostname and the port of where your services are on your local network, and user@serverspublicip is your username and the ip address of where your ssh server is.

You can also use ssh to make a SOCKS proxy in your network like this

ssh -g -D 1080 user@serverspublicip

This will make a socks proxy into your network on your device at 127.0.0.1:1080. All of this can also be done on just about any mobile phone running android by using termux.

I just gave it a try on my system and it worked just like it did before! Ill have to change my scripts to mount to /run/nextroot instead of /mnt, but i am very relieved that it is still possible. I was having trouble with it all morning. Thank you so much for your reply! It is much appreciated!

I designed this prompt shortly after I switched to Linux, I've been using it for a while, it has a few features like putting the exit code if it isn't 0, changing the hostname color if its detected that you are over ssh, changing the directory color to red if it isn't writeable, changing the prompt color to red if your euid is 0, and instead of printing I have no name! when your user does not have an entry in the passwd file, it will just print your uid in red. I also have a version that I wrote in C that works the same way with a subsitution shell, but it was harder to sync across all my devices when I made a change, so I rewrote it in posix shell that could be synced with just my .bashrc and work almost anywhere.

I don't know how to post a screenshot, sorry for the long paragraph, but here is the source code, feel free to share or do whatever with it!
