@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

@Punchshark Maybe, if the Price drops enogth. Some Nerds appear that are able to #root the car and may install something like #Lineageos for cars.
If that happens and is possible I may even buy an used Car for a reasonable price.

My problem with electric cars is, that everyone is a data nightmare.

A huge drop in Price may could be helping a #FOSS phoenix rising from the ashes.

Ever accidentally blow away your /boot partition?

dpkg -S /boot

will list what packages were written there. then you can do an 'apt-get --reinstall install <pkgs>' to fix it... This is Debian. Probably similarly for pacman, apk, emerge, etc.

So, why do I mention this?

Was replacing a failed drive (md RAID 1 root) in my garage "Artoo" unit and was duping the partitions from working to new ssd.

I guess I dd'ed the new empty /boot to the old working /boot. I was aiming for the UEFI partition...

Big dummy! LOL

Oh well. No one died, move along, nothing to see here. System is back up again now and in sleep mode for the rest of the night.

One thing I have from immutable (atomic) distros, and is how cumbersome is installing apps that require root permissions.

Supposedly you have to use Distrobox. Even that never worked for me. I always have to resort to `rpm-ostree` and then uninstall it so BootC can update the system. Every single time.

I had one of those crazy events happen at the beginning of last weekend when I accidentally changed ownership of the /root directory structure. The immediate effect was that I couldn’t use #sudo to do anything as #root. Luckily, the computer did reboot and allowed me to log in directly as root and then I started to change all the ownerships and groups recursively back using #chown.
