Hey… if it follows number pattern… the next stage in the crisis should be about ten years away… so that’s cool right?

Here is an crazy idea… pay people for the time they spend commuting…

Trouble sleeping…

Well, what do you expect when you don’t escape the !

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?

Isn’t that Paul Atreides?

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

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
