Minecraft - Versioning your saves

This is a tutorial show how to version your saves using Git.

Q: Why would anyone go through this process?
A: Because if you do, you can undo an otherwise un-undoable action, such as swimming in a pit of lava and accidentally dropping your Notch armpit forged special edition diamond pickaxe and your 35 stacks of cobblestone.

Step by step tutorial

Download and install the appropriate version of Git

Recovering deleted files in Ubuntu with ext4 filesystem

Recently, I deleted some files by mistake in a Ubuntu machine with an ext4 fs. These notes document the steps I took to get them back.

Important

  • this procedure assumes that the partition that contained the deleted files is different from the root partition, as that was the scenario with which I had to deal (deleted files were in my home dir). The procedure needs that the partition that contained the files is unmounted, so if the deleted files were in the root partition, the process would be a bit different (e.g. storing the fs journal in a USB stick, using a live CD/USB to boot and issue the commands, etc.)
  • if something is not clear, you need more information, etc. check the sources below

With that out the way, let's begin.

An effcient method to install Arch Linux with encrypted root and swap filesystems and boot from UEFI. Multi-OS, and VirtualBox, UEFI-booting are also supported.
# OBJECTIVE: Install Arch Linux with encrypted root and swap filesystems and boot from UEFI.
# Note this encrypted installation method, while perfectly correct and highly secure, CANNOT support encrypted /boot and
# also CANNOT be subsequently converted to support an encrypted /boot!!! A CLEAN INSTALL will be required!
# Therefore, if you want to have an encrypted /boot or will want an encrypted /boot system at some point in the future,
# please ONLY follow my encrypted /boot installation guide, which lives here:

Linux command to hibernate and then reboot into a different OS

Linux command to hibernate and then reboot into a different OS

In this document I describe my setup about how to add a menu shortcut that will hibernate and reboot the system into a different OS (in my case, Windows), and then restore linux on the next reboot.

For this, I'll be using Arch Linux with systemd-boot as my boot manager, but in practice any bootloader that handles the LoaderEntryOneShot (a.k.a. BootNext) efivar should work.

NOTE It is advisable to not do this with window's fast boot feature active, since alternating the hibernation of two systems can cause shared partitions to get corrupted. However, if additional steps are taken in order to ensure the shared partition are unmounted before reboot, or no partitions are shared between the two OSs, this can be made to work with fastboot enabled which should give quite a boost in Windows' startup time.

Set the LoaderEntryOneShot/BootNext EFI variable

XPS 15 9570 - DualBoot with Encryption (Windows 10 with BitLocker + Ubuntu 18.04 with LVM on LUKS)
  • Based on https://askubuntu.com/a/293029/286776
  • Installation date: 15-09-2018
  • Additional notes based on my own experience
  • The process describes a completely fresh installation with a complete repartitioning, however it should work fine when Windows is already installed (eg. brand new machine with Windows preinstalled).
  • The process was conducted on Dell's XPS 15 9570 (2018) with specs:
    • CPU: i7-8750H
    • Screen: 4K with Touch
    • RAM: 16 GB (original) / 32 GB (manually upgraded)
  • Drive: 512 GB (SK Hynix PC401)
