If you are using a typical distro like fedora, debian or ubuntu, and you are wiping everything, you don’t really need to know anything. The installer will handle everything for you. Just delete all partitions while installing and start fresh and it should all just work.
If your install media refuses to boot for whatever reason, then you may have to disable secure boot in the system EFI/BIOS menu.
What I’m thinking. If it took that long for my server to shut down, I would just sync and force reset. Although tbh, most things are VMs now, and those reboot pretty fast and would likely not be affected much by these improvements.
Does that only happen when it tries to download files ending in .db.sig? If so, I think I read somewhere that db have no sig. So as long as it otherwise works, this error is cosmetic.
You could use a custom XferCommand command per PACMAN.CONF(5) with wget using -6
Something like this might work:
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -6 -c -O %o %u
If you want something similar to vim or neovim, but without all the fuss learning how to configure it and install plugins and such, you could try helix.
I would return it, but if you are curious you can try some of the following to get experiencing identifying bad disks.
You could try a different computer or controller to be sure.
If you can get some writes/reads to work, you can use badblocks or dm-crypt: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Badblocks#Alternatives
Badblocks will write known data to disk then read it to verify its good. If the disk is malicious, this can be faked. badblocks is also a little slow.
Using dm-crypt in the wiki will write zeros through dm-crypt which will result in random noise being written to disk, then compare with zeros to verify reads are good. This can not be faked easily since the zero stream is encrypted as it is written to disk.
I would advise just creating ~/.bin or ~/.local/share/bin and dropping it in there. As long as you have permission to that directory, yt-dlp should be able to easily update itself.
There is a lot of development from China in the linux kernel. Also, to my knowledge there is a lot of chinese work in qemu and libvirt as well.
Don’t buy into tape. It is costly and is inferior to hard drives by most metrics for smaller scale operations. You can easily get 8TB hard drives for less than $20/TB. While tape is cheaper than that, the drive to actually use it is expensive, plus you get all the disadvantages of the tape itself.
Fun fact: you can probably buy a whole server, external sas card and disk shelf for less than the cost of a somewhat modern tape drive.
If you are wanting to store less than 100TB of data, it would probably be cheaper to use drives, then in 3-5 years buy another set of disks and still be ahead compared to tape.
Yes, but that is always possible with most protocols, including imap.
Take a look a FUSE and you will see all the creative things people have done with filesystems. Or DNS, lots of fun things have been done with that also.
They can do both, and if their stance is at all ideologically motivated, then it is necessary to focus on more than just the low hanging fruit of doing reviews.
The free software movement is more than just the free software existing. It is also congruent to the laws that permit it and extending rights
Right to repair is about more than simply fixing things. It’s about going after companies and lobbying to get actual rights enshrined into law.
If you were willing to spend money, why not just get it from RH directly.
Bottles is pretty good. It’s available on flathub.
It’s basically how widevine works. The hardware “secure” boots the OS, and the OS only loads signed code. And there is a chain of custody all the way to the hardware, so the software that communicates with the server can attest that it is the same as what they expect.
The simple explanation is that they wish to further erode property ownership by the proletariat by locking down operating systems such that they can’t do as their owners wish, but only what the corporation wants.
The likely retaliation RH/IBM would take is simply banning the account, not starting a lawsuit immediately. However, rights holders may attempt sue before or after such an event, but likely after.
RH thinks they have the right to distribute code in this manner, and they can keep doing so until challenged in court. You can do actions in general without asking the court every time, I think the same applies here as well.
I personally think it is a violation in a strict sense, but at the same time I don’t think it really matters too much realistically. Stream is upstream RHEL, and they are very similar, and at some points in time, should be identical. It’s also not clear what you get exactly by suing RH/IBM. The likely case is that they settle or rule to have that section removed from the ToS.
Maybe, but in practice nothing happens. Microsoft has had numerous issues reported to them before, years ago, and the issue reported to them was never fixed or taken seriously. Then years later, the issue is sometimes rediscovered and they find the report from years earlier, and nothing happens.
Until legislation gets passed to force companies to take liability of their software, nothing will change.
Tbh, I don’t think encryption matters that much for are usually public chat channels.
The private communication should be safe since i think the users will usually pin the keys for each other.
Tbh, just stop using software well past it’s prime, or pay the cost of developing the fixes.
Everything can’t be free, at some point it’s gotta cost something.
I more or less was just looking for a general survey of what other people used.
I agree installing a binary for this small kind of thing might be excessive.
Most users likely do not know about recall, and as the guy in the video shows, there doesn’t appear to be anything in a normal user interface showing that it is installed and configurable.
