Underrated comment.

My company uses a VPN where the client is so slow inside the VM it is functionally useless. 99%of the time I can still get away with it because my connection amounts to a couple of telnet sessions, but when I actually need data or a spreadsheet or something transferred local, I need to fire up windows directly to snag it.

Sonicwall has a VPN client that will run fine on Linux (or so they say), but the company won't switch over to it. And sonicwall considers the windows only version eol and won't add a Linux version

I got tired of windows updates breaking my dual boot. After some research I found that it's possible to have two uefi partitions: one for windows and one for Linux. It's not standard but there is nothing expressly written into the efi spec that prohibits it. And it just works. My bios doesn't care, and works with them both just fine.

I only use Windows for that 1% of business stuff I can't accomplish in a vm under windows. Invariably after I boot into widows once ever 3 months it installs so.e update and would kill my ability to boot into Linux. Since setting up 2 partitions I haven't had this problem.

Loops.video maybe?

I found this somewhere and thought it was a pretty good explanation for all the symbolism in his performance.

And even tho I'm not super familiar with his music, I do respect him and an artist and really enjoyed the show.

Edit: and Serena crip-walking on Drake getting called a pedophile on international TV was just the icing on the cake for me.

Maybe it depends on the access point. When I turn it off on my router there are no beacons sent. Unless you specifically probe the ssid it doesn't announce itself. BUT granted when you make a connection the ssid does show up during the handshake. If you were watching at the exact moment of connection then it would be detectable. I suppose they could use a mass deauther device and cause new connections and detect while that is happening but they they would need to triangulate the location of said ap... Again a lot of extra equipment.

I would set up your router, turn off ssid broadcast and forget about it. It's doubtful they have the equipment to find an access point that doesn't actively announce itself to the world .

Edit: it means you will have to manually add your wifi network to your devices by typing in the ssid on them but other than that there shouldn't be any issues

Good to know. I know a couple of people in the steam deck world who dual boot windows and steamos and have their games on a btrfs partition that use it so they don't need games installed twice ... I have no desire to do this so I have never tried.

Have you seen/tried https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs ?

I have heard it is decent but have never had a need to try it.

Btrfs and df don't get along. There are all sorts of internals to btrfs that non btrfs utils ignore. You should run

sudo btrfs filesystem df /
sudo btrfs device usage /

It will give you a better picture of what is going on.

Balancing my help as someone above pointed out, or you may need to boot to a live media of some kind and rebuild the free space cache. Especially with btrfs I encourage people to join their mailing list for help. The devs are awesome and can help you get sorted out.
