    Solved Monitor stopped working (after changing rotation). `EDID has corrupt header`. How do I fix? (And how can I even get a file with a *non*-corrupt EDID?)

    So my monitor stopped working, when I was messing around with the the rotation (ie xrander -o [ normal, left, right, inverted ] stuff). ( The monitor input is DVI (DVI-D Dual Link), and the laptop's output port is HDMI, so they're connected with an adapter. ) All (I think) of the...

    systemd, journalctl, and suspend/resume (sleep/wake): marked by default in the logs? Or how to add? And scripting around suspend/resume in general?

    ( First of all, I'm not completely sure what the official terms are. I think it's "suspend"/"resume", with "sleep"/"wake" being synonyms (and I'm not sure if there are any other common synonyms). And there's other, related-but-different stuff, namely "hibernate", which is much more rarely used...

    Ancient outdated custom gentoo install (set up by my dead partner). Not done with, but laptop exploded (Thinkpad T410), SSD fine. Get "new" T410, or?

    [ I just posted this to the gentoo forums https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8795977.html#8795977 Not sure when/if I'll get an answer there, and not sure if anyone here is likely to know any helpful details on this... But I figured I should just go ahead and post a copy here anyway, just in...

    Solved Advice? External USB harddrive accidentally unplugged (no activity at time). Re-plugged, but `mountpoint`/`findmnt`/`lsblk` disagree if mounted?

    So I just accidentally bumped and and unplugged the cable on an external USB harddrive. - There was no activity at the time. - It's btrfs (one big partition the whole drive, about 2TB... (I think it's spinning rust, not an SSD -- I dunno, it's just something I had in my box of random old...
