Your fstab file can remain unchanged and still fail, if the drive or user identifiers have changed unexpectedly. It depends on how you've configured your fstab entries, which is why it's helpful to share them. In future, no one will be able to offer much assistance without seeing the entry details. Either way, glad you were able to get it sorted!

Can you read/write to the disks as root? If so, then something has likely gone sideways with your fstab entry. For example, the device name, order, or UID/GID may have changed, depending on how you've configured the entry.

It's difficult to assist much more without seeing the contents of /etc/fstab.

Despite some of the comments here, I suggest that you don't overthink it; just buy an APC Back-UPS 600VA and be done with it. You have relatively low power requirements. The UPS will provide some surge protection (490J), several minutes of uptime, and a USB connection for automated shutdown.

The 600VA unit is less than $100 USD and replacement batteries are about half that. I've been using several of this same model for years without issue and we have many brown/blackouts being in a rural BC community. The batteries have lasted me 4-5 years.

You can always plan for something more significant down the road, if your hardware or needs change, but this should do fine in the interim.

I used DDG for the first link, but then searched Google with a portion of the error message in quotes. Either way, I'm glad it sorted itself out!

dnf autoremove might do the trick. I'm on Fedora Silverblue, so thankfully don't have to worry about this anymore.

Sounds like a server-side issue to me. Found something similar from 6 months ago...and another here.

Lots of great responses here already. In terms of simplicity and ease of maintenance, Hugo is going to be the best solution with its single binary, built-in features, and ease of setup/use.

That's an impressive list of changes!

I experienced similar resizing issues with 47 and Flatpak Firefox, but in my case I was forcing FF to use Xwayland to accommodate my password manager. Once I enabled Wayland support in Flatseal, performance was back to normal.

Hah any time, man! Your work and YT vids are what really got me hooked me on Silverblue and the cloud native workflow! I'll never look at computing the same way again lol.

The biggest hurdles are unavoidable under stock Android, but it really depends on your needs. What are you trying to protect against?
