  • Install Windows, but leave drive open or a partial space on windows drive. When you install Linux, don't let it install the EFI boot into the Windows EFI boot partition. Instead have the partition manager build a new boot partition+root home etc. Grub will install on its own partition, OS prober should find the Windows drive too, and it will add a chainloader entry to grub. Set your machine to always boot from Linux grub, if you want windows you select it in grub and it hands boot over to windows boot. This way they are isolated and Windows never knows that Linux grub exists and will leave it alone.

  • We also have a lack of critical thinkers in Canada.

    A section of my wife's friends (ex friends?) Are Trump supporters.

    A branch of her family live and breathe Facebook nonsense without questioning validity.

    A coworker sends me conspiracy theory videos, even though he works as a highly skilled engineer. Being smart and critical dissemination of information are different thought processes apparently.

  • Haha, I had a similar situation. Our chat app had a message from our IT about installing an app that tracks location and state of computer, but without the normal corporate memo first. Just a "hey please install from this link".

    So I said " How do I know this is not a phishing scam".

    The reply was "it's real, its's me ITguyname".

    Me: "How do I know its the real ITGuyname and not an imposter."

    Itguyname: "Because I'm standing up"

    So I knew it was our IT guy by that joke, but there could still be a chance it wasn't. How is it a random dude is more suspicious of supposed chat connections that the US government.

  • Mint is a good choice because it has an easy timeshift option, so a problem in an update is just a rollback/recover. Same as Snapper Rollback on distros like OpenSUSE, it means a non savvy Linux user can reboot and have it fixed. That is appealing for a lot of users that don't want to bother with finding the fix

  • We worked in a high paced Engineering office together, after the auto job, he would put his feet up and pile boxes near his desk to avoid working and read a book. There was more than enough stimulation available, he would just rather do what he wanted than work. Not everthing is the employers' doing, some people just make poor choices, even given opportunity.

  • Is anyone really surprised, UBER asks for microphone access as a security feature, so you can click record if the driver or passenger feels unsafe. Seems like an extension of this service that maybe wasn't supposed to be directly shared unless am incident happened

  • What going on is I don't feel like doing it LOL.

    I worked with a former autoworker, his job was inspecting roof seal adhesive and hitting the button for next car. He said he sat in a chair and read a book and would push the button with his foot. I asked how he could see roof glue, he said "I could not see it, I just pushed the button" . Too me that is the essence of a lazy person. It was not related to physical or mental overload, he was a sports guy etc. He just didn't want to inconvienece himself with getting out of the chair or interrupt his book reading.

    Shout out to Linux/FOSS maintainers

    Many thanks to all those that maintain FOSS. i had setup a pi4 running 32 bit Debian Buster years ago (pandemic days) with OpenMediaVault 5. With the OMV docker and portainer plugin I had various dockers running, but found some dockerhub images weren't supporting 32bit. I had thought ubout updating to 64 bit install but thought I might have headaches, so just blocked the pi from accessing the internet and sidelined the update. Since it is the holidays I figured I would tackle an update.

    Scope:

    • update to 64 bit
    • move from Buster to Bullseye
    • move from OMV5 to OMV6
    • fix everything that failed including docker.

    Step 1 add "arm_64bit=1" in the config.txt file of /boot and reboot. Took a while to boot with lots of drive activity but 64 kernel worked perfectly.

    Step 2: run sudo omv-release-upgrade

    That is it. Two commands and everything updated perfectly. Nothing to fix.

    To me that is an amazing testament to the work put in by everyone for Linux kernel, the OS, OMV devs, and
