or you might be unable to decrypt them at all

or, if it was a LG phone, could they be encrypted?

if so, perhaps this will help https://github.com/kamicater/LG-Gallery-Decryptor

if you have access to a windows computer, or perhaps wine can work?, there might be a solution in the bottom of this thread where someone had a similar problem

haven’t tested it, so do some antivirus checks on the tool before you decide to test it just to be sure.

good luck, hope you get it sorted

here is a guide you might be able to get some ideas from on how to set it up

you will not be able to get the WOL to work as long as you require a password to boot. if you need full disk encryption, look into storing the encryption password in TPM, enable secure boot and password protect bios/system setup with a locked boot order.

as long as your system requires input from you to start, it will always stop at the luks unlock step, unless you find another place to store the keys to allow unlocking without user input.

it could work if the computer suspended instead of powering off, but then it will fail again in a case of power loss.

hope this helps a bit, and good luck. seems like a fun project.

example picture of a wall where fittings have been applied to a wall with the same type of issue with rotting sidings, the principles are the same, though the issue in this case is further up.

It’s from this article, it’s in Norwegian, but you should be able to translate it using Google translate if it’s something you want to read.

if it’s the last one, you can add an aluminum fitting to the end of the siding, or a fitting of some other material that handles outdoor conditions. By doing this you hide the end of the wall from the elements, it is durable, easy to replace and if you choose the right one it can look good as well. This will also enable you to just remove the rotten part in the bottom of the siding, unless the rot has spread deep or high in the construction, as the fitting will close and blend the cutter part. Just make sure to leave a small opening at the bottom of the fitting, to let the water escape, or you can seal it properly, as the fitting will not take water damage like wood, and is more easily to replace if needed.

If there is a slope the water will not run upwards, and the water on the siding should run down to the ground and away as well. The siding panels should also be painted with outdoor paint also on the bottom so the water cannot penetrate in the cuts at the bottom of the siding. The small amount of time before it drains away will not cause it to rot as long as it’s treated in all the cuts, it’s the still water over time that causes the wall to rot.

Or do you mean there is nothing else behind these boards, so if you cut them there will be an open gap between the siding and the concrete?

Leave a gap between the concrete and the siding, so that the water can run away/evaporate before it reaches the wood. Also make sure that the water flows away from the siding when it rains, and not up against it.

There should be a small slope away from the siding, so the water is not retained there, but leads away to avoid further damage to the siding/construction.

In Norway where I live, all houses have a clearing of 2-3 cm at least between the concrete and wood, and the floor is made so the water runs away from the building to avoid exactly this issue, because of the amount of rain and sometimes melted snow during the seasons. It’s part of the building code for houses.

Best of luck to you in getting this sorted out, make sure you get all the damaged parts out, so you avoid secret problems later on.

Have you tried inserting a screw in the opening of the pin and pulling it using the now attached screw as a handle? Or gluing it if screwing is not possible and then pulling?

one way that works for some is to trick your mind by schedule your worrying to a time and date in the future and tell yourself you will handle it then. this gives you a “solution” for your mind to stop worrying about it now, as you have a plan to do it later…

worked for me quite a few times actually…

good luck, and hope you get it sorted eventually either way.

try holding the off button on the remote for x-number of seconds, that works for mine, so perhaps it works for yours as well? mine is also Samsung but different model.
