Can confirm this shit sucks, I bought a OnePlus 6 a few months before the 3G shutdown and my phone’s on the banlist for most providers now despite technically being supported, so no calls.

If you know the IMEI of any phone you want, there are sites that let you check if it’s blacklisted on their network, I can at least tell you the OP 6 is gonna be touch and go if you do commit.

Damn this is timely, I just got a second hand Pinephone today

I wanted to move my Arch VM to bare metal, so I copied out all the important bits. Then I wanted to move that copy to a new drive so I could boot into it.

I THOUGHT I’d MV all the files in the Arch install’s etc directory using sudo MV /etc …

I also (somehow) mashed my install’s etc with Arch’s and bungled both, with no live CD to help.

I learned a thing or two about absolute file paths…
