I was retarded and got out over my skis. Here’s a Claude summary of the yard sale:
What Went Wrong:
∙ Qubes OS refused to start 4 critical VMs (sys-net, sys-firewall, sys-whonix, wallet)
∙ Initial errors: thin pool activation failures, then “snapshot already exists” conflicts
∙ Root cause: Massive over-allocation - 480GB promised to VMs but only 85GB actual thin pool space
∙ Final state: Thin pool corrupted with transaction ID mismatch, preventing all repairs
Diagnosis Process:
1. Started with snapshot conflicts → tried to remove them
2. Hit pool activation failures → attempted refresh commands
3. Discovered only 9.6GB free in volume group (98% full)
4. Found 102 total volumes (way too many for fresh install)
5. Uncovered the real problem: 24 VMs × 20GB = 480GB allocated vs 85GB pool capacity
6. Thin provisioning worked until actual usage filled the 85GB, then pool corrupted
What Went Right (lol):
∙ Successfully accessed dom0 and ran diagnostics
∙ Identified the space exhaustion issue
∙ Pool corruption caught before data operations attempted
Prognosis:
Poor. The thin pool has corrupted metadata with transaction mismatches. Standard repair commands failed. Without backups:
∙ Recovery options limited to rescue boot or Qubes forum expertise
∙ May require reinstall with proper space planning
∙ Some/all VM data likely unrecoverable
Can anyone save me or tell me how to prevent this going forward on a fresh install? This experience was a hard lesson in the importance of backups. Fml #asknostr
Every now and then I experience a dream that feels so real my body repels at its climax and kicks me back to this dimension. Coming out of the dream though, I’m able to stay in a sort of euphoric limbo for a short period of time. Not only do I vividly replay what feels like my life’s highlight reel, but I also get the sense that I’m consciously shaping and guiding footage as I observe it playing out in high fidelity.
The surest way I’ve found to induce this phenomenon is by eating ice cream 30 mins or so prior to falling asleep. A closer look into this hypnopompic state may very well be a promising angle to tackle the hard problem of consciousness. Just a reminder that this reality is amazing and there is so much to explore
