Bitlocker wont let me troubleshoot my startup issue (spinning wheel black screen) Windows 11

29 March 2025 @ 11:58 am

So I have like 50 hours of work i'm not trying to lose on my PC. For some reason I started having issues where I couldn't click on anything properly so I restarted my PC. Now when it gets to windows startup its just a black screen with a spinning wheel. I tried to boot in safe mode, startup repair, and restore points. None of those options work without my bitlocker key which i'm an idiot and apparently didn't save anywhere. I dunno why I just assuming I could keep using the PIN which i have memorized. Technically it doesn't look like bitlocker has locked my PC down yet.. but if i'm not able to get pass that spinning wheel idk what to do. Or can bitlock be causing the boot issue? The key isn't in my Microsoft account.

Can anyone explain what is this code [closed]

KDE graphical apps do not respect keyring / ssh-agent added via keychain (keychain works in shell correctly)

29 March 2025 @ 9:54 am

I migrated to a new computers along with my SSH keys. I have installed keychain, set it up correctly to load the keys. However, now graphical KDE apps ask for password (e.g. for Git) and do not respect keys added via keychain in shell / terminal. I see this in terminal: * keychain 2.8.5 ~ http://www.funtoo.org * Found existing ssh-agent: 142966 * Known ssh key: /home/xxx/.ssh/id_rsa * Known ssh key: /home/xxx/.ssh/github_rsa * Known ssh key: /home/xxx/.ssh/id_rsa.work However, that seems to be incorrect as two processes are running with different pids: ps aux | grep ssh-agent xxx 2307 0.0 0.0 162652 6964 ? Ssl mar26 0:00 /usr/libexec/gcr-ssh-agent --base-dir /run/user/1000/gcr xxx 144071 0.0 0.0 8304 1468 ? Ss 10:44 0:00 ssh-agent -s xxx 144125 0.0 0.0 8436 3632 ?

I’m seeking elaboration on how the other TPM helps verify the integrity of the boot process and the launch of the TEE environment? With key management of hypervisors

How does a power user get Windows File Explorer to auto-refresh a folder view?

29 March 2025 @ 7:05 am

I am using Windows 11. With home laptop when I download files using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome the folder view of Windows File Explorer updates with the name and details of just the new file. When I delete a file using the Download menu of Firefox File Explorer also auto-refreshes and deletes the name and details. With work laptop it doesn't auto-update or auto-refresh leaving the names of temporary files and no new files being shown or deleted. I could only test with Chrome on this laptop. I've searched and found deleting AutomaticDestination may help. I'm a bit wary about this without further details though. What could be the problem? Can anyone help?

How to Convert an SVG Sequence into a High-Upscaling 4K Video?

29 March 2025 @ 6:12 am

I have a large number of SVG sequence files, and I’ve uploaded a sample here: https://easyupload.io/epuw45 I want to convert these SVG files into a very high-quality 4K video. Each SVG file should represent a single frame in the video. I’ve tried using FFmpeg with the librsvg library, but it converts each SVG into a PNG, then turns the PNG into a video. This process is very slow, uses a lot of CPU, and results in high disk writes, which is not ideal. I also tried merging the SVG files into a single animated SVG using the lxml library, but it didn't work as expected. All the SVG files appeared together, one after another, in the output file, which means the previous SVG didn’t disappear before the next one appeared. I’m not even sure if merging the SVGs into a single animated SVG would allow me to convert it into a video file successfully. I came across this GitHub pr

ssh file sharing on Linux LAN suddenly stops working (mostly)

29 March 2025 @ 2:42 am

Forgive me, but I know very little about networking and TCP/IP. I have managed to successfully stream media on my LAN with no problems until yesterday. There are 6 machines, all running versions of Linux. The IP addresses are fixed, like this: 192.168.0.8 - 192.168.0.10 - 192.168.0.13 - 192.168.0.15 - 192.168.0.17 - 192.168.0.20 0.15 is serving as a file server for streaming media. All other 5 machines have been flawlessly streaming media by ssh for several years. Suddenly yesterday, none of them can, except for 0.8. The other 4 produce read: Connection reset by peer Of the 6, all of them can send pings to the other 5 and the router (192.168.0.1) except for 0.20, which can only ping the router and none of the other machines. 0.20 can get on the internet. When I try to ping from 0.20 to any of the 6 computers on the LAN (including itself) I get Destination host unreachable When I check arp all of the MAC addresses seem to be
