For my Desktop,
I have a few HDDs of various sizes that I could LVM to make one big drive.
Most likely, the simplest way for now would be to use one big LVM only with
the different HDDs, and split them in half, to leave one part for backup for

Oh, and would 3 to 5 drives be heavy on electric consumption?
I've never ever performed a GNU/Linux system upgrade.
What I would try is to test the live CD/USB you used to install. I mean maybe
you didn't check, and it's corrupted.
Else, maybe it's just a matter of upgrading something (the system or even the
kernel). Hopefully.
That's all I've got :/
Cool, thanks :)
Thanks for the idea!
RAID looks harder to setup though. Plus, I wonder if it would work with the
"3 drives" option (SSD+HDD as one, backedup by one bigger HDD).
If Deja-Dup can backup two drives (/ and home+swap), then 3 drives seem to be
the best.
4To for backup, 3To for HDD and 60Go for SS

It's safe to say that I don't get your point.
It's complex enough to me. Isn't the origin of the script = the webpage I'm
visiting?
But you also write about an option for injecting one's own JS instead, right?
But I agree that NoScript is complex and can lead to important mistakes.
Oh, like Decentraleyes? Does that do the job?
If I understand (not sure at all), you suggest some kind of NoScript that
would be easy to use, and that would be "idiot-proof", so to speak?
I just went into the options and disabled a few options I never need (allow
JS globally for example). T
I like it. I really do.
It's not perfect, but it's definitely safer than having JS on at all times.
I see 2 downsides : with NoScript, I can allow only the JS I need, not the
whole list which mostly includes tracking stuff (I always wonder why they
need to include so much of these).

uboot, I have a couple of questions:
- what do you mean by a programmer for flashing the chip?
Can't I flash it internally, like with Libreboot?
- It seems this mobo can't boot with usb mass storage devices. Does that mean
that the only way to flash the chip is to boot with a liveCD?
Are you sure??
ASUS KFSN4-DRE?
Internal flashing should work just fine, even if you are currently booting
the proprietary firmware.
Libreboot currently lacks documentation for externally re-flashing an LPC
flash chip. However, these boards have the flash chip inside of a PLCC
socket, an
No problem :)
That's good news.
It's unfortunate that this mobo isn't more developed for.
It's way cheaper than that other Asus mobo.
Coreboot seems better than Libreboot for this one.
Hopefully flashing internally works the same way.

Maybe it's simpler if I do a quick install on the drive with the proprietary

In theory, I'd be able to boot. From there I can try to reinstall.
Yes, I think I can try.
I'm out of options.
I'll boot with the BIOS, make a quick install on the drive, and copy the grub
folder from my working computer if I have to.
Problem is, can I start a new install then? Or will I have to boot from CD
anyway?
Assuming I can boot from a LiveCD soon, I'll have to figure out how to

When I prepare my 3 TB drive with one big partition, it always suggests one 1

It's brand new. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks SuperTramp :)
To get the video signature, huh.
Question remaining is, how does it run that said JS.
30 matches for the word "signature" in that youtube.py.
This isn't easy to understand.
Ah, maybe a hint: "free space starts at (0, 0, 34) and ends at (364801, 80,
29)".
The 1MB starts at (0, 0, 34) and ends at (0, 32, 31),
the 466,4 KB occupies the last space left.
No info around the web :(
Thanks Magic :)
I was annoyed at first,
but mostly because I though it was yet another problem.
Thanks again!
I always wondered why there was several terminals in any distro (2 versions
of those xterms things, and another one like gnome-terminal for instance).
I guess some have more features while some might only work in specific cases.
OK, So one single large partition on each 3 drives, but they're taken as 3
different volumes, which is fine.
Put in practice, it does mean three passphrases.
Since I found no simple guide to do this, I'll just try and see if putting
the same passphrase for the 3 drives is gonna prompt trice.
OK, now the install is all done (although it was without internet connection,
so a few things are missing).
And now, surprise: cryptomount -a doesn't work.
After recovering from my hopes being crushed, I tried to ask the web. No

Most likely solution is to add missing modules to grub, like cryptodisk.mod

I need to modify the Kcinfig file before rebuilding grub, and re-insert it in

So your example is flawed, since Windows is rotten from the inside already.
JS in youtube-dl is used to get the video's ID.

Kaku uses json, which doesn't mean a thing yet, but might be the same problem
youtube-dl has.

What about using wget? A simple script from these principles might be all it

#!/bin/bash
xclip -selection clipboard blank

#vlc $(youtube-dl --prefer-free-formats -g $var)
vlc $var

I kept the line with youtube-dl commented for illustration, though I used the
clearmodifiers line twice in a row with it.
Good idea, it does work better than Viewtube for me.
The only interrogation is, do the .lua files lead to JS execution? I can't
