I get annoyed at the narrative that all the awareness and work on climate change hasn't done anything. Yes, global CO₂ emissions indeed continue to climb, but we don't know the counterfactual. When I was in grad school, we were on track for 5°C of warming. Now it's below 3°C. That's progress, even if we should do a lot more.

Well, it finished the fsck, but nothing happened... I ejected the drive and it attempted to fsck again. Definitely dead or dying :(

Back up your backups, kids!

I think I'll stay up another 30-40 minutes just in case it finishes within that timeframe, otherwise I guess I'll let it sit overnight and see what happens.

C'mon, clutch up fsck lol 🙏

If something goes wrong I think I'll give ddrescue a try, just to at least get all of the data copied somewhere in case this drive actually is failing (honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was, it's been in use for at least 3 years).

Uh oh... just tried reading from my backup HDD and KDE automatically ran fsck on it. It's been running for an hour now, so hopefully it's doing something 😅

If fsck succeeds I'm most certainly copying all of my stuff over to a new drive as fast as possible, losing all of it would uh.. not be fun.

@didier Good luck! 🫡

It feels off to wish people a happy Juneteenth when when people of color are under more direct threat in the US than they have been in decades. But I do hope the day brings joy to my Black friends and that fellow white people are prompted to reflect on how we could be better antiracists.

Instead of using butter with your garlic bread, you should switch to Linux. You can set up a virtual machine to try out various distros to see which one works best for your needs.

The @frameworkcomputer Laptop 12 might be the most repair-friendly laptop we’ve ever opened. Seriously. It’s shockingly easy to take apart, and for a touchscreen convertible, that’s rare. It earned a 10/10 on our repairability scale thanks to clever engineering choices:

- Screwless SSD clip.
- Cable-free battery removal.
- Clearly labeled mainboard.
- QR codes on every major part.

We tore it down. You can fix it up.

I’m planning on doing my first Framework Laptop 13 upgrade soon!!

I’ll be…

- replacing my Intel i5-1540P mainboard with an AMD Ryzen 5 4640U mainboard, since Framework will most likely only offer AMD stuff in the future, and it seems to perform better in benchmarks
- swapping out my red bezel for a transparent one (or possibly orange..? Not entirely sure yet haha)
- replacing the input cover, since the touchpad’s starting to get a bit iffy

..and possibly switching to Arch Linux, depending on how I’m feeling when I get my stuff in. I really like Arch, but the promise of (relative) stability with Fedora is quite nice 😅

Sticking with KDE Plasma no matter what though, it’s a solid DE.

@bison Ah, fair enough 😅 that's really annoying, I hope you find a solution soon!

@bison Have you already tried converting the mkv to an mp4 with ffmpeg? Or would you rather it stay mkv?
