If the secret's out, she has no leverage! Shout it from the rooftops!

Run dmesg -w or dmesg --follow, press control-L to clear the screen (all of that stuff is irrelevant), then plug in and unplug the drive a few times. If you get messages, then the kernel can recognize the drive. Press control-C when you're done.

Don't press X, it's insecure to SSH attacks. Press Wayland instead.

  1. Boot live USB
  2. Find the correct partitions using lsblk (you may only need the root partition)
  3. Mount them (root goes on /mnt, others go within the root)
  4. chroot /mnt (if permission denied, run it with sudo)
  5. Search the logs or journals for the error (journald was the first to fail, maybe check its logs first)

If you get errors like "no proc filesystem mounted", then you also need to mount special filesystems before entering the chroot. Run these commands as root:

mount /proc -t proc /mnt/proc
mount /sys -t sysfs /mnt/sys
mount /dev -t devtmpfs /mnt/dev

If your distro has systemd by default, do not change it. Only hassle lies that way.

If your only alternative is sysvinit/System V, then pick systemd because sysvinit is slower and less advanced.

IIRC, MX Linux uses systemd and sysvinit only.

That seems like the correct answer, since the spate of no-results pages coincided with the rise of the AI-pocalypse.

Amateurs. I can search for fixes while my computer is still broken!

(ctrl-alt-F1, ctrl-alt-F2, etc to switch to TTY, then lynx ddg.gg to get to DuckDuckGo)

It's still around. The latest release (8.0) is free-as-in-beer for non-commercial use. It's still proprietary though.

Gentoo users be like: Your system is underperformant and unoptimized. Have you tried Gentoo, and compiling all the packages?

Other users be like:
Have you tried Slackware?
Have you tried Damn Small Linux?
Have you tried Linux From Scratch?
Have you tried hand-optimizing a 386BSD system with a Mach kernel? OOPS, that's too far!

Quotation marks and other symbols, when typed in the title of a spoiler tag, show up as broken HTML entities.
This only happens on the normal website. Other Lemmy UIs (Tesseract, old-reddit style, Photon, Alexandrite) are not affected.

Examples of characters:
" becomes &quot;
& becomes &amp;
< becomes &lt;
> becomes &gt;

Example occurrence:

quote, ampersand, less than, greater than " & < >Expected correct result: " & < >
Expected erroneous result: &quot; &amp; &lt; &gt;

Warning: The following spoilers contain full-page screenshots of the phenomenon in question. Do not open on a slow or metered connection.

My main focus isn't on quality of results.

The real problem is, whenever I type a query that's even the slightest bit out of the ordinary, I get no results. Google, Duckduckgo, Startpage, Searx, all of them.

It strains credibility that these advanced pieces of technology could not find anything among billions of websites, when in the past, less-advanced versions of these engines could find results for similar queries among smaller numbers of websites.

To reiterate: My problem is not with SEO, or spam, or AI-generated websites, or irrelevant results. My problem is getting no results much more frequently than in the past.
