I don’t know Voidlinux but am curious, what GPU are you using? And is your Linux DE using Wayland or X? Nvidia GPU drivers are notorious for having issues with suspend/hibernate/resume. If it’s Nvidia you could try tinkering with enabling/disabling the driver options or the suspend/hibernate/resume services.

These should give you some hints:

Unfortunately I don’t know what you’d do exactly to recover from a failed hibernate - the thing with hibernate is that the RAM of the running OS was saved to disk so even turning it off completely isn’t going to solve that, the whole point of hibernate is to be able to power off completely after all. When you get your system back up you should do some light testing with standby, not hibernate, just to see if there’s issues. Or do what I do and never standby/hibernate :P

Are you able to get phone service with your primary internet service wherever you’re at? That ISP already has your billing info so it’s not like you’d be giving out any more info.

If you can do that then you can basically live like every other person without a cell phone. I know older people that don’t have cell phones so they just use landlines/ISP phone service for phone calls. For banks they literally just go to the local brick and mortar bank, there’s no requirement banking has to happen online or on a phone. And for calling the local cab companies, calling those with the house phone is easy enough.

But yeah you’re basically talking about disconnecting from having an online presence since you don’t want to use Uber/Lyft apps, don’t want to use bank apps, and won’t have a mobile phone or smartphone with phone service.

That’s not all of Lemmy, just your specific Lemmy instance with those restrictions (lemmy.world).

Talk to lemmy.world admins or sign up to a different Lemmy instance that allows VPN usage.

I’m not on that specific tracker but some of the others have similar sort of rules

They have something about changing IPs, it seems you can’t change IPs too often and you can’t have multiple accounts in the same IP. Why?

That’s generally for detecting ban evasion / duplicate accounts. But I think with most private trackers you’d just need to let staff know if you’re in a shared IP situation.

They absolutely not allow mobile client, which means, you need to let your PC on all the time, sum this up with the fact that they require 72h seed within the next 30 days, this is a t least 2.5h of seed daily and if you miss one day for any reason it’d be even more for the next days. But my question is about the mobile, why the hell can’t I use my phone to seed? I talked to a mod and they argue mobile isn’t reliable due to battery optimization and it might kill the client. What does this even mean?

The mod is sort of right about that one. Most mobile users aren’t even connectable (port forwarded) so that’s problem number 1. And problem 2, yes Android does pause apps for battery optimization - but technically you can configure your Android to not do that for specific apps, not sure if it works for all phones but in mine I just bring up the App Info, go to App Battery Usage, and make sure to enable “Allow Background Usage”… most people wouldn’t really want to do that and run down their phone battery constantly but I guess it’s an option. Maybe bring that up as a tracker suggestion/rule change though it does seem easier just to tell members not to use mobile clients.

Why the torrent clients are so limited even the version you can use? What it has to do with anything at all? Again, is not seeding just enough?

Maybe specific to that tracker, not sure. But usually torrent client lists exist because the tracker staff tested those clients against the private tracker software to verify that stats are being tracked correctly. And sometimes they do ban clients due to being buggy, being used for ratio cheating, that sort of thing.

That’s interesting, not sure that I trust an AI coded game enough to load onto my phone. But it is amusing seeing an AI project using the copyright “Tetris” name, most human coders aren’t brave enough to re-use the name itself. But AI is gonna AI I guess.

Ah you just reminded me, I remember Tttris / Titris being one of the better free open source Tetris clones on Android way back. No ads, no need to be online, just a good standalone Tetris clone for Android. I still have the old .apk, might be the same as the last one published to F-Droid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.seavenois.tetris/ but like you said eventually stopped being updated & isn’t compatible with current Android phones nowadays.

Now you got me thinking about this again, wish I had a good suggestion. Will be following this post, maybe other people know about some other good ones.

Like the other comment mentioned I’d try https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec first.

Just a heads up with proper data recovery it’s usually a good idea to dump an image of the media card to your drive and do any data recovery attempts against that image, not the media card itself. I would usually use ddrescue for that but you’ll probably be okay with standard dd too if the card itself is fine (as you said the deleted files were user error, not a failing card).

PS - You should definitely not use the media card in the camera until you’re done with recovery attempts, the more you use it the less likely you’ll recover anything off it.
