So, setting up an entire server might be overkill for the amount of data I truly want to never lose (passwords, some pictures, some important documents, maybe some music if there is space left) , but asking a relative i see every once in a while to just keep a drive or even a USB stick in a desk somewhere is probably the easiest and reliable option.

Thanks for the suggestion !

Right now i’m on mint, but when this issue happened, i was on fedora 42.

But if bluetoothctl does not work either, maybe it’s another issue that i had (maybe the drivers or something)

I had the same issue some time ago, and found that connecting with bluetoothctl in the terminal gave way more reliable results than the visual interface

okay, but why did they used a guy beatboxing to illustrate their statement ?
