I drank more than half of a 300mg caffeinated Bang energy drink, and I'm a little uncomfortably wired right now.

And apparently it has a host of nifty other features for #Windows: https://www.howtogeek.com/665780/all-microsofts-powertoys-for-windows-10-explained/

TIL: Microsoft does have a Color Picker utility for #Windows. You have to install their PowerToys utility to get it.

Wtf is going on; I'm wired in connecting over LAN.

It's "amusing" to me how my #linux server can be mostly unresponsive over SSH, but I can interact with it flawlessly through a http server on it.

Wait, SteamOS can't unlock the LUKS partition it created. 😖 More debugging required.

LUKS2 created by GnomeDisk on Manjaro didn't unlock in SteamOS. So, reformatting with SteamOS, turns out it used LUKS, not LUKS2. FYI.

I created an 8GB swap, and a 100GB LUKS BTRFS dev partition for my #SteamDeck, let's see how this goes. Maybe for fun I'll enable Z-RAM 😄.

I accidentally booted into BIOS somehow, now booted to USB Manjaro to do the partition operation. 🫡

I'm in the middle of shrinking /home to create a LUKS partition on my #SteamDeck for a dev folder. Seeing as I can't check if it has a swap file right now, can anyone confirm if the deck has a SWAP partition or file? I don't think it has a swap partition anyway. Cheers.

Nope, didn't work.

OH. It might be as simple as I'm not yet running with sudo/root. >.>

I'm trying to run Veracrypt in verbose mode, but that's not logging anything; probably because I'm using their helper window rather than directly.
I hope I don't have to use the nokernelcrypto flag.

Oh, and hello from the #SteamDesk desktop!

Trying #Veracrypt for the first time, and on #SteamDeck. Whoops, looks like I have some debugging to do.

I'm new to nix, I'm not sure outside of NixOS if it's still configuration based packages when using nix-env, but I can at least put /nix in my persisted /home folder and create a simlink to it.

I'm still new to #SteamDeck, but w/ switching file system to readonly, I wonder if INSTEAD of installing many packages that you have to reinstall after an update, why not install only #Nix w/ pacman, and after an update you just have to reinstall that, let Nix handle the rest.🤔
