I have successfully compiled and installed the latest Linux Kernel 7.0.0-1-mainline in Arch Linux 2026.04.01

Subject: I have successfully compiled and installed the latest Linux Kernel 7.0.0-1-mainline in Arch Linux 2026.04.01 Good day from Singapore, I had started performing a fresh new installation of Arch Linux 2026.04.01 on 17 Apr 2026 Friday at 6.08 pm Singapore Time. But I have not installed a GUI environment yet. I shall do that later. My main objective is to install the latest Linux Kernel 7.0.0-1-mainline first. At 7.47 PM on 17 Apr 2026 Friday, I had started compiling Linux Kernel 7.0.0-1-mainline from source code using yay.

Manually resize partition and filesystem on a Contabo VPS after upgrading your storage

Subject: Manually resize partition and filesystem on a Contabo VPS after upgrading your storage Good day from Singapore, To extend your filesystem on a Contabo VPS after upgrading your storage, you must manually resize the partition and filesystem to utilize the new space.  For Linux, use growpart and resize2fs (for ext4) or xfs_growfs (for XFS).  For Windows, use the Disk Management tool to extend the volume. As I am using AlmaLinux 9.7, the steps are as follows: # dnf check-update # dnf search cloud-utils # dnf install cloud-utils-growpart [root@ns1 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda GPT PMBR size mismatch (419430399 != 524287999) will be corrected by write.

Notes on using dd to clone Debian 13.4.0 KDE Plasma installation on my Edxis Chromebook model LI9

Subject: Notes on using dd to clone Debian 13.4.0 KDE Plasma installation on my Edxis Chromebook model LI9 Good day from Singapore, Detailed steps as shown below. 1. Prepare USB thumb drive with System Rescue 13.00 for amd64. This is a 1.22 GB ISO file download. 2. Boot up Edxis Chromebook or your laptop or your desktop computer or your server with System Rescue 13.00 USB thumb drive. 3. Connect a portable USB external harddisk to the Edxis Chromebook using a USB 3.0 Hub. 4. Use the following Linux commands: # mkdir /backup Assuming your portable USB external harddisk is /dev/sdb1 # mount /dev/sdb1 /backup # dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M status=progress | gzip -1 > /backup/emmc.img.gz 🔍 Explanation bs=4M → good speed for eMMC status=progress → shows progress conv=fsync → ensures proper flushing (safer image) gzip -1 → fast compression (important for you) 👉 -1 is key: Much faster than default (-6) Slightly larger file, but saves a lot of time The filesize of my emmc.img.gz is 4.71 GB.

Using Acronis True Image to clone (backup) Debian 13.4.0 KDE Plasma on Edxis Chromebook

Subject: Using Acronis True Image to clone (backup) Debian 13.4.0 KDE Plasma on Edxis Chromebook Good day from Singapore, Can I use Acronis True Image to clone (backup) my Debian 13.4.0 KDE Plasma installation on Edxis Chromebook model LI9 to a SINGLE image file? I know Acronis True Image can clone harddisks or SSDs with operating systems into a SINGLE image file with filename extension .tibx. Clonezilla is NOT desirable because it clones storage devices into so many different files. If you are aware of a better cloning software for Linux, please let me know. Thank you.

Subject: Syslogd in pfSense Community Edition Firewall version 2.8.1 Stops Sending Firewall Logs to Kiwi Syslog Server Every 7-8 days Good day from Singapore, I have a pfSense Community Edition Firewall version 2.8.1 at home.
