[help] Triple boot system lost one of the drives in Grub. in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev

If the Debians you installed weren't Live ISOs, then I recommend Arch or Artix for CLI, and Manjaro or Ubuntu for GUI.

You'll have to mount the drives, chroot into the one on the drive that has the EFI partition, then grub-install and grub-mkconfig into the EFI partition.

Boot problems are really tricky to fix on the computer that's having them.

If any of your other OS's still boot, then use them to download a live ISO of your preferred linux distro, and write it to a USB stick.

Then you can diagnose the problem using a new boot environment that doesn't rely on the main disk.

You can't take three from two,
Two is less than three,
So you look at the four in the tens place.
Now that's really four tens,
So you make it three tens,
Regroup, and you change a ten to ten ones,
And you add them to the two and get twelve,
And you take away three, that's nine.
Is that clear?

So do I! When I saw that 9 stealing a 1 and becoming a 10, I thought "Wait... These are electrons. This is chemistry. That 9 is a halogen!"

The second one actually gave me half of a mental breakdown, but not because it was too violent for me.
One analysis that I read made the exact opposite conclusion that I made, and it showed me this: in the subject of English, two diametrically opposed points can both be equally correct! Nothing is fixed! Reality is mutable!

Also The Lottery, The Veldt, Harrison Bergeron (which others have already mentioned)

Could have just said man instead of ma'am. They sound almost the same.

Is it good practice to run a system without a syslog daemon? (sh.itjust.works)
 

If I'm using Arch or another minimal distro, is it a good idea to install a syslog daemon? Or can I go without?

Dark Reader extension doesn't work (sh.itjust.works)

I know that the dark mode setting is disabled by Resist Fingerprinting. I am not using that, I am using the Dark Reader extension. The extension still doesn't work, but it works on Firefox.

Other extensions I have installed: Ublock Origin, Decentraleyes, Skip Redirect, Onetab, Old Reddit Redirect

Librewolf version: 124.0.1-1

Looking for a simple, time-based night color control (sh.itjust.works)
 

I used to be on KDE. It had night color control integrated. Then I switched to XFCE, and it did not. So I installed Redshift.

Oops! Redshift requires location access so it can automatically set the color temperature based on the sun's position in the sky. Now it doesn't work when the network is deactivated. And on my system, I can't set it to redden/bluen based on the time only.

I go to AlternativeTo, to find an alternative. It looks like all of them do the same thing, or are discontinued.

Is that what everyone wants? Is that all that's out there? Just ""smart"" programs that access your location to automagically change the colors based on astronomical events?

Even on Windows you could set the night color control based on the time. Am I living in a backwards world where Linux uses the invasive complicated way and Windows uses the private simple way?

Is there a simple program out there that can set night color control with only the time, none of that other crap?

I made these to be a flag of evil or a flag of the enemy. Can be used for fictional Obviously Evil countries or for aggressor aircraft. Which one do you like better?

How do I get the preview pane in KMail to stay the same size? I can resize it, but whenever I restart the app, the preview pane is back to the default size.
