Hi everyone, looking for help with an SSD/Win problem: My Thinkpad with Win11 has been acting up lately, and I am fairly sure the problem is with the SSD (very high disk load on startup and shortly before each of the many many crashes.) I would like to avoid having to set up my system from scratch....
Thanks for the reply. The bootrec commands I all tried to no avail (all say no windows installation found.) Surely, my latest attempt has the correct boot partitions after I let the Windows installer handle it all and overwrote only partition 3 afterwards? I’ll check again anyway, thanks.
Bitlocker was off when I tried Clonezilla. I’ll check for the partition flags. I wonder where they live, if they are not brought over in a bit-for-bit copy? Thanks for the help!
Hey, thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it!
Clonezilla indeed takes care of all the partitioning and the flags. I cloned the old SSD to the new SSD once more and it of course still won’t boot. (Never mind that partition 3 of old SSD says bitlocker- I reenabled it after taking the disk image.)
This is really frustrating. It’s not even about the data since everything is synced to my server anyway, but installing all the software again and tweaking everything so it feels like “my” system is just a lot of effort I would have liked to avoid. Starting to come to terms with the fact that it isn’t happening. I probably won’t do it, but I have half a mind to ditch Windows again. If only MS Office didn’t make such a convincing argument in my day-to-day…
This is probably a dumb question but what is a better way to send a link to a song to friends without using Spotify? I don’t use Spotify anymore so I don’t like going back to that website just to copy a song link so people could hear it. I know I could send something like a YouTube link but I’m trying to degoogle so I...

I’m looking for a full PDF editor for use on Linux. Foxit, Qoppa… can’t find anything on TPB, AllPCWorld or 4mirrorlink. Even looked on Milkie and saw a link for Qoppa PDF, but no one is seeding it....
That’s a question ChatGPT would excel at… It sounds like it might be a big task for your shoes, but here goes (100% organic reply, mind you):
get a Raspberry Pi, install your web app, make sure you can reach it on the LAN
forward the port your web-app is running on to the Raspberry Pi: app is now reachable under IP:port from the internet)
set up a domain with a provider that supports dyndns, set up a job on the Pi to regularly check in with the dyndns provider and tell it your current WAN IP: app is reachable on your own domain; success
This is leaving out any security measures and you will want to take care of those before opening your home LAN to the world! Have fun learning!
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We’re considering porting them to Android 14 to continue providing extended support longer than initially planned to keep them as a way to preview the current version of the OS despite...
I agree. I was impressed with Android 14 being out within a few days after public release, but I wish they would have taken their time. It doesn’t feel like I’m on a stable release channel, and I don’t think I actually am.
I’d like to know, too. I just played a bit of the reverse-engineered demo again (never had the full version as a kid, either) and it’s still a fun game.
