<2022-01-18T18:01:03.000Z> pops: Mind if I ask you technical advice once again?
<2022-01-18T18:40:45.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: did you get these? I just realized my instance is acting up again
<2022-01-18T18:49:14.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: how about now?
<2022-01-18T18:50:23.000Z> pops: Yeah. I see them.
<2022-01-18T18:54:43.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: hrm fucking pleroma lol
<2022-01-18T18:55:58.000Z> pops: lol
<2022-01-18T19:00:28.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: what was your question, or did you figure it out in the meantime? lol
<2022-01-18T19:05:22.000Z> pops: So, looks like one of the new Surface kernals killed the ability to read my keyboard and anything in the USB, so I'm essentially shut out of my computer. It reads fine on boot (can unlock my encrypted harddrive, BIOS, etc.), but not once Manjaro is loaded.
<2022-01-18T19:06:01.000Z> pops: I wanted to know if you knew how to access the Grub menu when the harddrive lock is in the way.
<2022-01-18T19:06:57.000Z> pops: Manjaro forums are full of assholes thay jusy say they figured it out with no explanation on what they did to fix it.
<2022-01-18T19:36:12.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: huh is the hard drive lock an encryption scheme? a surface specific one or am I just out of the loop on terminology?
<2022-01-18T19:38:14.000Z> pops: Encryption, yes.
<2022-01-18T20:21:07.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: I wouldn't have expected encryption to prevent grub from loading up, since grub needs to load one way or the other to boot Linux. Sounds like I don't know enough about your setup with the surface though
<2022-01-18T20:23:23.000Z> pops: Fucking Arch.
<2022-01-18T20:36:28.000Z> pops: I think I got Grub Menu running, but I have no clue on how to boot into a older kernel.
<2022-01-18T20:36:58.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: Ohhh I might be able to help there
<2022-01-18T20:38:19.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: Im not at my computer so grain of salt, but if you only have one boot option in the menu you can look for others from the command line
<2022-01-18T20:38:41.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: The grub command line is extra annoying though because it's subtly different
<2022-01-18T20:39:58.000Z> pops: "grub rescue>" is what I currently have up.
<2022-01-18T21:57:36.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: sorry, was at the dr
<2022-01-18T21:57:42.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: does `ls` work?
<2022-01-18T21:58:08.000Z> pops: No worries. "ls" does work.
<2022-01-18T21:58:46.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: what's the output look like generally?
<2022-01-18T21:59:56.000Z> pops: (proc) (hd0) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1)
<2022-01-18T22:03:29.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: are you able to `ls (hd0,gpt1)` ?
<2022-01-18T22:03:41.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: (try it for 2 and 3 also please)
<2022-01-18T22:04:18.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: not sure if you need it to be like `ls (hd0,gpt1)/` with the trailing /
<2022-01-18T22:05:04.000Z> pops: So far all unknown filesystems. I'll try with the /.
<2022-01-18T22:05:57.000Z> pops: Same with /.
<2022-01-18T22:06:26.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: hrm, that's probably due to encryption then
<2022-01-18T22:06:27.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: damn
<2022-01-18T22:08:22.000Z> pops: Encryption passphrase is for (hd0,gpt2).
<2022-01-18T22:19:12.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: there *should* be some command that will print out the default boot command (the one that will run if you run boot with no arguments) having trouble googling it though
<2022-01-18T22:24:23.000Z> pops: It's so weird. Keyboard works fine in BIOS and Grub, but not when Manjaro is fully booted.
<2022-01-18T22:25:13.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: does the touch screen work? like could you use an on screen keyboard to fix the problem from within manjaro?
<2022-01-18T22:26:09.000Z> pops: Nah. The libwacom drivers seems to be fucked too.
<2022-01-18T22:26:20.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: ugh
<2022-01-18T22:26:30.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: feel like we'd have a better shot there lol
<2022-01-18T22:26:53.000Z> pops: If that worked, I could swap kernels from the damn settings menu.
<2022-01-18T22:30:34.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: actually I'm curious if you just run `boot` if it will boot into manjaro with all of the problems you've had. Are you able to get back into grub easily enough?
<2022-01-18T22:30:57.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: my secondary hope is that when you run `boot` it will output (probably briefly) the command line its using to boot, which will give us a hint how to write our own that uses an older kernel
<2022-01-18T22:31:31.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: if everything just hangs, then the problem is even more of a pita than I realized heh
<2022-01-18T22:31:40.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: well, it already is, but y'know, even more than that lol
<2022-01-18T22:32:45.000Z> pops: "Unknown command 'boot'."
<2022-01-18T22:33:02.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: how did you get into this command line to begin with?
<2022-01-18T22:33:41.000Z> pops: Esc key on the decryption menu that boots first.
<2022-01-18T23:10:46.000Z> pops: I have a Manjaro iso flashdrive that I can boot into. Can we do anything with that?
<2022-01-19T20:30:05.000Z> pops: Update: I was able to rip all my important files off of my laptop. I wiped the HD and installed Pop!_OS onto it.
<2022-01-20T19:06:15.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: ah well at least you got a way forward, sorry I wasn't much help on that haha
<2022-01-20T19:06:24.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: was also super fucking under the gun at work
<2022-01-20T19:06:53.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: basically got like 2 hours of sleep the past few nights, finally got most of it "good enough" yesterday heh
<2022-01-21T02:55:55.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: https://poa.st/objects/94eed25b-a308-4fd1-8a2c-8da232ee9167 you guys gonna celebrate 6m poasts? lol
<2022-01-21T17:50:31.000Z> pops: Oh yeah, no problem man. I appreciated the help anyway. It also allowed me to learn a bit more about how system even runs.
<2022-01-21T17:52:08.000Z> pops: Also, lol. 6 gorillian post celebration would be pure mayhem.

<2022-03-15T02:17:30.000Z> pops: How up to date are you on Chris-chan lore?
<2022-03-15T02:43:04.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: Like the love quest completion?
<2022-03-15T02:47:59.000Z> pops: Yes, but specifically do you know about the book that Chris told Null about in Telegram DMs before the Barbussy scandal came to light? "The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability"?
<2022-03-15T02:48:17.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: no...
<2022-03-15T02:48:29.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: is null the kiwifarms guy?
<2022-03-15T02:48:42.000Z> pops: Yeah. Josh "Null" Moon.
<2022-03-15T02:50:24.000Z> pops: Josh goes over it in one of the Mad at the Internet podcasts about how he originally thought the book was because Chris wanted to know about sex between two aspie people (because Chris only told Josh that his new girlfriend was older and disabled).
<2022-03-15T02:50:56.000Z> pops: But of course, in hindsight, that wasn't the case.
<2022-03-15T02:51:25.000Z> pops: amazon.com/The-Ultimate-Guide-Sex-Disability/dp/B0069Z2WCY
<2022-03-15T02:51:58.000Z> pops: Anyway, I just realized this night while helping a customer that I HAVE that book for sale in my store.
<2022-03-15T02:52:50.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: lmfao
<2022-03-15T02:52:56.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: also
<2022-03-15T02:53:13.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: > But of course, in hindsight, that wasn't the case.
<2022-03-15T02:53:35.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: imagine the reality of that dawning on you after the fact lol
<2022-03-15T02:54:41.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: funny you brought up cwc I'm in the middle of watching a video ostensibly about him, just paused it for dinner and hadn't unpaused it yet lol
<2022-03-15T02:54:43.000Z> pops: Josh legitimately sounded so defeated when he was telling the story and reliving his dark realization and that he had all the hints to know Chris was talking about Barb the whole time, but just not making the dots connect.
<2022-03-15T02:55:45.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: that's pretty funny but also pretty sad
<2022-03-15T02:56:15.000Z> pops: I think it's quintessential dark comedy.
<2022-03-15T02:56:48.000Z> pops: But now that I know I sell this book, I feel a little closer to Chris. Maybe now I can peek into CWCville from our side.
<2022-03-15T02:57:12.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: you gonna read it?
<2022-03-15T02:58:52.000Z> pops: Only if it means I can learn an incantation or spell to travel through the Dimensional Merge.
<2022-03-15T02:58:57.000Z> pops: youtu.be/MygANnSgD5I?t=905
<2022-03-15T02:59:13.000Z> pops: I time stamped where Null goes over his DMs with Chris.
<2022-03-16T20:20:00.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqu1xMg4Awg I remember you talking about these books lol
<2022-03-18T17:39:11.000Z> pops: Oh shit, Nigga. Warriors is based, and so is Pippa.
<2022-03-18T17:41:51.000Z> pops: I went nuts with these around 5th grade. Read through the 6 book first series in like a week or something.
<2022-03-20T20:10:18.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: I saw her laugh off a $14.88 donation lmao
<2022-03-20T20:10:53.000Z> pops: She's laughed off donations about cookies in ovens too.
<2022-03-20T20:24:36.000Z> ademan@thebag.social: at some point I'm sure she'll be forced to condemn it but it's pretty hilarious while it lasts
<2022-03-20T20:32:48.000Z> pops: I think she's mentioned that she likes her current agency because they mostly do things in the shadows and only come about for emergencies. So maybe it will take a long time before anything like that happens.
