Or your dog. Safety first!
You get handcuffed as a precaution. You do not have to be arrested. You can het handcuffed on a traffic stop if the officer decides they have cause to search your car. Etc.
I think US media doesn’t report on it because US media believes that French election rules and government structure are too difficult for US citizens to understand. It’s hard to cover a story when every article requires a deep dive into French civics before you can get to the point.
Linux, Win, rEFInd too. Windows is the destructive force here, so rEFInd should always go after it.
I like rEFInd
Also, install ProtonUp-QT so you can stay up to date on the all the versions. Sometimes a game or app might not work and two days later a new version of Proton/Wine comes out with full support fir said game/app.
Is it too much to ask for the days when my system was nothing but a prompt in which I may or may not type “startx”?
I am a control freak when it comes to my systems. I don’t like them doing their thing on their own schedule. The network servers (Thinkpad Thinstation and a Raspberry Pi) controlling access, DNS, etc. are updated and rebooted regularly but in a staggered order so that my network is never down. One kicks off at 05:01 and the other at 05:31. Five in the morning is normally the time when I can’t function, so it is the best time for a break. Not even my insomnia can withstand 5AM.
The funny thing is, I could have done that if it wasn’t for the bowl of cable spaghetti I had going in that closet.
It was 6.9.3 once I booted after the move. I assume it had been updated but waiting for a reboot to use the new kernel. Until I rebooted, it was probably still running on the 6.0.9 image.
If uptime and having the latest kernel ever becomes something I care about for this server, I might switch to Ubuntu Pro. It is free for personal use and it includes kernel livepatching. I can’t imagine why I would need it for this use case though.
Pop_OS was updated regularly. The kernel version changed to the latest one once it booted up in the new location. It was probably live on 6.0.9 before the move since that was the last one I recorded.
I spun down my 486 DX 33 home linux server in 2006 simply because by then it was ridiculous to spend the electricity on something less powerful than a five year old entry level laptop. It never failed. I bet that if I powered it up today, it would still work as a power loud and power hungry PiHole server.
Old school. You do all your work on hardware sequencers, trackers, drum machines, synths, etc.
I am pretty sure the kernel is up to date, but I am not 100% sure since I haven’t checked that the process didn’t fail at some point. This is a tertiary backup system, super low priority, hosting movies, music, and VeraCrypt drives internally behind multiple layers of network security and isolated in the DMZ where I keep stuff I want isolated from my network, like SmartTVs, IOT crap, and gaming consoles. But since I am working on it now, I will double check.
EDIT: 6.9.3, which is a little behind, but I’m ok with that.
You can’t allow to lose sight of context. In general I agree with you, but this is not a production server or even a system exposed to the Internet. This is an internal server hosting my stuff to me and only accessible via a VPN server that is on a different machine that is updated regularly who in turn is behind secure physical network devices with their own rules. This machine only job was to be available when called upon and it always has been. It does not need a kernel update although it could use one. All software on it is up to date and all security patches are updated regularly. If by any chance the system was fully compromised, all the culprit would get are tertiary copies of my movies and music collections, which they can enjoy, and a bunch of tertiary copies of my VeraCrypt virtual drives in which I replicate my backups. Again, context.
That’s the idea, but that’s where it is going. It was in the upstairs closet where the temps are kept at human comfort levels (68-78).
I am that old. I like to know exactly what is happening and when.
See that Pop!_OS? It me.
