You cannot enter a random country and say “well, I will live here”

Use Ventoy, you can have dozens and dozens of ISO on one stick only, when you boot on it you can select the one you want.

I bought a used APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500G for $100 on market place, it was a good deal, I replaced the 2 battery inside and added 4 outside (it is supported), I’m ready!

I sometimes have power outage in winter (snow storm, ice, etc) and working from home I need a UPS ; modem cable, router, PC, monitors, are on it, it can stand ~5h

This is why we have UPS ;-)

Do you have GRUB? If yes you can edit your kernel command line and append “init=/bin/bash”, see if at least this gives you a prompt, this has saved me a couple of time in the past. Else booting on a USB and mounting your boot partition may help to fix it.

BTW I also have LUKS and I’m using TPM, using tpm2-initramfs-tool, first, it failed because I forgot the tpm modules in initrd, but I always have 2 kernels installed and only modify one initrd at a time to have a safe boot if I have a problem, like I had!

I tested tpm2-initramfs-tool with proper tpm2 modules and it worked.

I also tested with clevis-initramfs and clevis-tpm2 and it’s even easier, no messing with crypttab.

Also, as long as you can break GRUB and append “init=/bin/bash” it is not secure of course, you can then prevent grub editing or not using grub at all.

Well, it’s because Russia is jamming GPS signal, it affects planes, cars, everything relying on GPS.

Same shit in Canada or Quebec, take a look at Quebec 2022, 3 parties got ~15% of the vote, check the number of seats:

There is like 2 browsers, Firefox, or all the chromium based ones?

oh I did, it was a banner maybe 100 pixels height. I had a small app to make window transparent by clicking on them, so I started the bar, started the app, click the bar, it dissapeared but still registered viewing. I got maybe 25$ after a couple of months

Not sure someone knows for the moment, but for sure the US part will have all its data in US data center and all. App can be the same binaries I guess, like Netflix for instance, that use IP/geo location to show you different stuff.

There will be a US tiktok algorithm (full of racist white supremacist fascist stuff), and a RestOfTheWorld algorithm (with doorables labubu and other nonsense)

I’m using baobab here, it scans my 500GB in a few seconds

M-x doctor

In emacs, ESC then x then type doctor, I remember this from 30 years ago

yea, emacs even has a doctor

I have a Mediatek MT7921K, it’s using the mt7921e driver, 3 years ago the chip was new I think and not well supported in linux (problem with init/sleep/resume) but a lot of people fixed it, and mediatek released new firmware, and the driver is rock solid for about 3 years now, I’m using it on my daily driver working PC 8h/day, 0 problem, and use a BLE keyboard and trackball too.

Disable fast boot in your BIOS, else when you reboot, hardware is not re-initialized so if Windows loaded a custom firmware in the chip or set some stuff here and there, it may be incompatible with linux. If you dual boot, always disable FastBoot in the BIOS.

If he wants to live alone in his own flat, why is he not paying for it? and bills, power, internet, etc? Does he work?
