Timeshift for configs to a locally attached drive. Home partition to cloud with rsync

First sentence of the article

“new default Cinnamon theme coming to Linux Mint 22.1 later this year.”

For me this falls in the category of “sit back and eat popcorn”. Both sides are arseholes I don’t mind which loses, in fact it’s a shame they all can’t lose

Nothing. You can only invoke article 7 against a specific country, and with 2 there’s insufficient votes to invoke article 7 against either. You can’t do a “twofer”.

You have to remember this was considered an unthinkable nuclear option when the treaties were draw up. That two countries could both diverge so far from the EUs ethos would horrify the (possibly naive) original founders.

As that worn quip goes

" they did nazi this coming"

Sounds like a smart move.

Yes. Separate or single disks makes no difference, it writes changes to the efi partition that bios references to boot.

I don’t know whether fedora is impacted, the article specifies the following as documented impacts

" The reports indicate that multiple distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Zorin OS, and Puppy Linux, are all affected."

And I also note that at least 2 arch implementations are impacted in addition to that list (i first saw it on arch forums).

I would suggest you definitely DON’T assume fedora is unaffected until you check your install, fedora participates in safeboot so given all the article listed distros also do (and arch has a method for it)

Odds are they’re impacted, M$ has done a scattergun on this, the only ones you can be sure are unaffected are those still bios booting rather than uefi

No. Any efi dual boot is affected.

Wtf ? On what planet is the BBC “left centre” it is as establishment as it gets

To suspend Hungary (your first point) legally requires unanimity of all EU countries aside from the one to be censured. (Article7)

Unfortunately Slovakia has recently elected a pro putin govt who will now block any attempt to deal with Orban.

There was a short window between the end of the Polish far right PiS being in power and Slovakia changing leadership when it could have been done. Unsurprisingly Orban was very compliant during that period and as soon as he regained an ally is back to his old tricks.

There is no legal way to _do what you suggest

Edit, missed a word

Disappointing tgat we arent when you put it that way

I can’t work out if this is well intentioned ignorance or trolling, so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and a serious answer.

The first point is there are a huge number of threats to privacy and your online and data security from connecting to the internet even in western countries.

VPNs are not just for protection from govt abuse, in fact their efficacy there is far lower than for several other use cases.

If you’re in the US (for example) and with one of the biggest ISPs then every DNS request being made is (was anyway, I assume still is) logged and your internet usage is then sold off to data brokers to profile you.

So yeah, dont trust your ISP, and if you’re dealing with a VPN that wants all that info then find a better one (proton or mullvad for exampke, you can pay with monero or bitcoin or even cash by snail mail)

Most common reason is running out of disk space. Boot from USB and have a check as to whether the update filled up the disk

My motherboard which is only a few years old (2ish?) has serial port pin outs.

You don’t need to give the VM network access to download the software if you have a linux host. You can directly mount a virtual box drive from the host, copy the file(s) onto the drive and then unmount it and start the VM as per normal.

Search for qemu-nbd iirc (network block device) - I have the how to details saved on my host (ie not on me) so ping me if you want them. Note it’s a qemu app that works for vbox

Much better

Could be worth asking on selfhosted (how do I link a sub on lemmy ?) They probably have more relevant experience at this sort of thing.

Edit

Does this work ?

Thank you

What is the difference between type 1 & 2 please ?

Popular support rarely changes anything. Money talks to power, people talk to themselves

Lol. Yeah that was my reaction to the headline as well. “You did what ?”
