  • If you are banned from blahaj (or any other instance) your posts here will not federate on that instance. The refederation applies to the community not individual users or CDRMITTENS. That would need to be addressed by them with the other Lemmy instances admin team.

    So to be clear if you use blahaj to view ncd you will still not see posts by CDRMITTENS until he appeals his ban with them.

    Talking with ada this seemed to be a poorly handled miscommunication. Ada and her mod team are not selectively removing our content but they have banned some of our more active posters and this is the source of the original drama.













  • 😊 for the most part you can just use the tar command to back stuff up in the most half-assed way.

    For example: sudo tar cvzf /tmp/backup.tgz /home/

    Or change /home/ to whatever directory has stuff you care about.

    Then plug in a USB drive and copy /tmp/backup.tgz with the gui and it should contain your user data if you need it. It’s pretty much like making a zip file for a backup…

    Then this to delete the backup file: sudo rm /tmp/backup.tgz

    tar xvf ./backup.tgz to extract it or just use the gui.

    My friends have asked me to do basic Linux stuff for them in my off hours and I generally oblige, if it seems quick and I know they are not going to call me having a meltdown in a few weeks if something unrelated breaks. Especially since it sounds like you already put in quite a bit of legwork trying on your own.

    I wish I could help more but I’ve gone out of my way to not use Nvidia or Intel products for over a decade. So I have no idea. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I think that the Nvidia webpage has like a .run file you can use to install them but that might just make things worse…
