My ubuntu installation broke completely

I think that installation was originally 18.04 and I installed it when it was released. A while ago anyways and I’ve been upgrading it as new versions roll out and with the latest upgrade and snapd software it has become more and more annoying to keep the operating system happy and out of my way so I can do whatever I need to...

Illecors,

That sounds fun

Illecors,

You won’t. Arch has very little glue that holds it together and the components are quite robust. Buntus of this world, on the other hand, have plenty of glue to enforce their way. And it might be good for first timers, but definitely gets in a way as you start learning the system. My last annoyance like this was disabling gdm - it just kept coming back. Some script somewhere was making sure thr service was running no matter what.

Illecors,

Ah, I had misunderstood your /boot situation previously. There’s an easy way to fix it by backing up current content of boot, unmounting it, creating some dir somewhere where there’s space (/tempboot was my choice last time), bind mounting it to /boot and going through the apt process. Then unmount the bind, mount the real boot, delete everything except currently booted kernel stuff, copy all the things from /tempboot update the initrd and grub. Et voila!

Illecors,

Same. At some point had jumped on librem mail as it had forked k9 to update the interface, but have been back for a few years now.

Illecors,

People have used the following to scam, lie, commit fraud, etc

  • physical money
  • digital money
  • cryptocurrency
  • whatsapp
  • facebook
  • twitter
  • email
  • sms
  • phonecalls
  • etc

I don’t think it’s the privacy bit that makes people do shit things.

Illecors,

I think I got a double push - I’ve reached a point in my life where I finally have something to say as well as Lemmy not drowning out my posts/comments.

Also hosting a publicly open server drags me in even more; I love that stuff.

Illecors,

I actually think they’re new school enough where Linux to them means a lot less than it does to us. And so they don’t feel at home on a Linux machine and, unfortunately, don’t care to learn.

I could totally be wrong, though. Maybe I’m the moron.

Illecors,

Hasn’t made life hell, but the general dumb following of compliance has left me baffled:

  • users must not be able to have a crontab. Crontab for users disabled.
  • compliance says nothing about systemd timers, so these work just fine 🤦

I’ve raised it with security and they just shrugged it off. Wankers.

Illecors,

AVs in Linux realm exist mostly for scanning windows stuff for email attachments, shared storage, etc.

Illecors,

I’ve found ground.news’ layout quite useful in sutuations like this.

Illecors,

Any time!

Illecors,

Hey, I’ve replied to your post. I see it has a few upvotes, which implies that federation is working.

In regards to another member - he might have trouble initially if nobody from their instance had subscribed to the community, yet. Once subscribed, everything should be fine.

Illecors,

I’ve also made you a mod.

Illecors,

Someone had created !typewriters and I could swear it had some content, but engagement was low at the time and I think the creator abandoned it. I can move ownership to you if you’re up to it.

What are your thoughts on fiber through the city?

After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content...

Illecors,

All the possibilities are up to your vpn.

Illecors,

Yes! I’ve literally found out about a data leak this way before it was announced publicly.

Illecors,

A friendly reminder that this prick saying something doesn’t make it true.

Illecors,

Omlette du fromage, probably. Although nothing tastes good for eternity.
