I'm not coming up with a lot of useful (clear) results when searching for a solution to this issue.

Is it OK to simply dd the 128GB disk to the 32GB disk using count to stop after the 16GB partition was cloned?

A bit more context: I had to clone a 16GB eMMC and only had a 128GB SD around. Now I purchased a 32GB eMMC and want to clone it again. The partition holds a root filesystem for an ARMv8 device. I don't have the 16GB eMMC anymore, that would have been the easy way out.

I'm trying to troubleshoot this DNS I have on a small old Odroid C1 board.

I have set up a static IP, but cannot get DNS to work. The image comes with systemd-resolved by default. I have notes that said to set a static IP, then disable systemd-resolved, and after a reboot the DNS would work, but that didn't work. I've looked into systemd-resolved a little bit, and have configured the DNS servers manually, which is required when using a static address.

My gateway is also my DNS.

Here is what I believe to be relevant output:

/etc/systemd/network/eth0.network:

[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
Address=192.168.10.44/24
Gateway=192.168.10.254
DNS=192.168.10.254

Alternatives to systemd-resolved welcome, just need it to work.

I have a "Professional control pad PRO-2" (this one https://segaretro.org/Konix_Power_Pad), but unfortunately it does not work.

When I open it up and toy with the contacts I can get all the buttons to work at the same time, and indefinitely, by bridging the start button contact with a single piece of metal. The 3 lights will go on and stay on, and the game will keep receiving start repeatedly. I have tested this with Virtua Racing, it will start the game, go through all menus and then when the race starts it will pause and continue repeatedly. When I touch both sides of the start button contact with a multimeter it does nothing.

I don't know much about electronics, but I would like to repair this controller.

Here are pictures of the inside of the controllers.

I'm not seeing anything wrong, and the capacitors don't look leaky, but I could replace them. How can I best proceed?

I have 15 VM's running for clients and I'm looking for a way to keep the tools up to date without having to connect to each server and do it manually. A few examples are WinDirStat, Firefox, SSMS, Filelocator, etc.

We have expanded recently and I'm at the limits of doing this manually. These servers are not domain joined and are in separate virtual networks.
