Wow, I didn’t know the Git host is providing documentaries too now, sweet 😋

Going through LFS207 right now, meant to prepare for the LFCS. Gotta say, the material is unsatisfying, a few issues here and there, quite a bit of information that isn’t up to date and uninspired instructors (at least it seems, they make so few appearances they might as well have not recorded themselves at all) make for a really lame course, which would all be acceptable if it had been free or really low cost and by an external organisation, but no, it costs a heck ton for what it offers and it still manages to be less than insightful when it’s coming from the same foundation sponsoring Linux development, guess sponsoring is an entirely different matter from knowing or teaching (or proofreading paid material).
What it is undeniably good for, though, is letting you know that certain topics exist at all, so you can go deeper by yourself, stuff which you might not care about or come across otherwise.
Safe to say your Linux desktop experience will only translate as much as you put effort into playing around with your system, which, in a perfect world would be the least you’ll ever need, it’s definitely undesirable to make the desktop a CLI heavy experience, and in fact, I’d say that today’s Linux desktop manages to save you from the details pretty well, so you really have to go out of your way to learn sysadmin concepts and tool usage, stuff that, if you don’t need a certification, you can do just as well on your own with free articles and courses, whichever you can find

I love this, we should maintain a list of these, it’s like that “Pokémon or web technology?” thing

It successfully combines everything I’ve ever wanted 🤧

Actually thanks for the akshually, because I had no idea about its existence

…And automatically triggers the printer, if run out of paper or ink, it should also place an order on Amazon

Gonna pull your leg here and say Android or, as I’ve recently taken to calling it, busybox + Linux + Google

Sorry, I wasn’t saying it wasn’t, I just found it funny, I do trust you know what you’re talking about, had no reason to doubt you

Hopefully it gets easier so I can use n(o)curses

New motto: open source, open purse

Amazing, I read this in a deep narrator voice and now I want a tale of a game engine developer living in a stereotypical dyatopian cyberpunk society

3rd fastest

And 1st tastiest

That’s really cool! And yeah the bootloader locking checks out with into from other guides.
That unbricking talk flies over my head on the other hand, it sounds like one of those fake tech speaks to my uncultured self lol

How did you install Graphene in the first place?

I’m not ok with those things obviously, but I don’t know enough about them to say what I think is all, I’m just talking about the “technical” aspect and that at a base level I think that the effort to make a more anonymous service is respectable, though I would have never used a service like this personally. Of course that also implies that anything passing through it should be harder to track and moderate, for good and bad

I think that what I was talking about is exactly why they say what they say, for people that want to have more privacy/antonymy it’s there to tell them that the system itself is inherently limited so they can’t expect to be completely safe and the provider can do whatever they want or need to do by law (and here it seems from what they say, if it is 100% true, that they have been trying not to comply for the users’ sake) when you rely on their service.
About the non-refundability, it’s true, though it’s not any more suspicious than the service in itself trying what they can to keep the users’ anonymity, so it is at least coherent, I guess it’s really up to how much you trust them there, you know what you’re getting into after all

Not to mention I don’t know why anyone would use a provider that was happy to warn people they aren’t trustworthy.

That’s the most honest statement, because that’s email by nature. If you don’t encrypt anything yourself with PGP, emails will be readable by the server and there is no way around it, some providers have automatic encryption between users of the same provider (e.g. Proton) but that’s most likely less than 1% of your email traffic, unless you really use it to chat (for which there are much better suited tools already), most the others will be on their popular service that doesn’t do encryption at rest, let alone in transit (and I mean one where they don’t hold the keys) and, if you want to contact them, you either put up with the fact that your conversation is exposed or you convince them to set up PGP

Oh ok, gotta try that, but does that mean that this only works while maintaining the PC on?

Still personally I’ve had very very few ones breaking, but I guess it depends on our browsing habits what we use the most. A report broken site function exists on desktop, but I think it’s still missing from mobile

How did you do it? For example if I keep some apps open and reboot it should reopen them at startup, right? I tried that and it didn’t work, but maybe I configured something wrong
