  • you should let go of the imprinted idea that in order to criticise something you hafta offer a better, fully fleshed out alternative; you are allowed to say X is shitty on its own.

    coming from the guy who improved and converted the utterly cumbersome PGP stack to a usable thing with TextSecure/RedPhone (those got later merged into Signal), yeah, this shit is underwhelming, to say the least.

    I’m gonna go out on a limb and state that securing the pipe between you and the word-guessing program isn’t currently high on anyone’s list.






  • I really don’t wanna sound like an asshole, but based on the question and its style, you’ll fuck something up and lose data. there’s too many moving targets in your stack; put aside the idea that a beginner is dicking around with proxmox (why!?)

    exfil data, nuke the thing, create a new one sized right, import data, done.

    if you really wanna have at it, add a live ISO to proxmox boot order for that VM, boot off it and once you get the desktop use KDE Partition Manager or Gparted to expand the file system. after you’re done, shut down the VM, remove the live ISO and put the old boot order back in.

    then, maybe, get rid of proxmox and have a regular debian server with a buncha docker services where you’ll never have to pre-allocate virtual disks and such. good luck!


  • yeah, the original EFI 1 GB is plenty. but, creating partitions is just part of it, did you designate mount points in the installer? also I don’t think 20 GB is enough for bazzite.

    them installers aren’t too good with multiOS setups, as you can tell that “error message” says shit. if you can anyhow manage, get a used 120 GB SSD that should be like $10 or such and use it whole for the OS, you’ll get up and running in no time; disconnect all other drives prior to install so you don’t accidentally fuck something up.





  • the EFI on the drive is too small. luckily, there can be multiple EFI partitions on the same drive and UEFI scans them all. so create manually the following:

    • 1 GB efi, mounted at /boot/efi
    • 1 GB ext4, mounted at /boot
    • the rest, btrfs or ext4 or what you like, mount at /

    normally you’d go with luks2 and encrypt your drive but seeing as how this is for gaming, and it’s only a temporary thing till you nuke windows, skip it this time. good luck!



  • this shit is happening worldwide. clueless and politically illiterate folks do “the protest thing” because at some point, somewhere, like e.g. in ##way_more_complex_scenario_with_totally_different_actors## it worked! so if we persist, it’s bound to happen here, too, nay?

    fucking nay.

    a protest thing that doesn’t have the implied threat of “…or else” is just a hang. and those don’t produce anything of importance. see every “peaceful” bullshit protest walk or whatever else impotent, poseur bullshit those ignorant fucks use to dull the blade of revolt.
