When I still had a Samsung phone I used Heimdall, but apparently it was not touched for 5 years, so I’m not sure if it still works for newer phones.

I didn’t try it, but this looks like it should work.


And why do I want this? And if I want this, why is it not the default already? SSDs have been mainstream for ten years I guess, so shouldn’t any current Linux installer do the right thing by now?


Can you use pkill -f with the full command line? Or is it the same for all AppRun.wrapped processes?


I’m not familiar with pipewire, but is there a mixer somewhere in the pipe?
If nobody has a better idea, you could create a loop device with a HFS filesystem, copy the CD to that filesystem, replace all bad filenames, then copy everything to a normal filesystem.
Edit: apparently there’s a --iconv option in rsync: https://askubuntu.com/a/540960


I have to use Windows at work, but I can use WSL on the developer laptop. Also I develop for/on Linux servers via ssh, so it’s good that I know Linux from home.
You forgot the -print0 at the end of the find command. In the read -r -d '' you want to read NUL-separated strings, so you must tell the find command to also use NUL characters between the filenames.


I found uPnP is not advised due to security risk
There are different uPnP things: one that lets apps open ports in your router (security risk) and one with media renderer (safe).
You said you/I/everyone can use multiple shells, I said: no, I can’t, at least not on all the machines that I have to use.
Some people work on machines where they are not allowed to install anything.
There’s jc (CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries).


If you’re not allergic to Amazon, a FireTV stick might be enough, at least for Jellyfin, Youtube/Netflix etc. (not sure about streaming from the browser).


The Raspberry Pi Zero in USB gadget mode can be used for GPIO. If you don’t want to setup gadget mode, get Pi Zero W.
Also there’s a timeout setting in the same file.


You can update and it won’t break anything, because Intel microcode won’t be loaded into AMD CPUs. If you run apt show intel-microcode it tells you that there is a amd64-microcode package as well. If it is not already installed, you can install it, and then try to remove intel-microcode. If it doesn’t want to remove anything else (e.g. the kernel), you can remove it. If not, just leave it installed.
At least on Ubuntu, /boot also has the initrd and kernel (vmlinuz). Maybe your distribution has them in /, but if not, you probably need to reinstall the kernel package in the chroot.
