I had a linode instance for years that was mostly for irssi in screen. This is a neat use of kubevirt.

The boot entries live in firmware yes, efibootmgr can create and remove them. The are pointers to the bootloader. Many systems can boot from the disk itself without the entry, the entry just makes it pretty (“Fedora” instead of NVME1).

I blame Linux distributions for not updating when the security vulnerability has been fixed for years a little more than I blame Microsoft for untrusting old vulnerable software versions. That said, failing to figure out if it is dual booting or not when there are multiple ways of doing it was not really a surprise.

(I also remember when some Fedora ISOs were unbootable immediately after release a few years ago for similar issues, they hadn’t updated shim or similar)

Grub has already been patched, that doesn’t mean distributions shipped it. SBAT broke systems that hadn’t been updated.

It’s a lot better in uefi, MBR dual booting was always sort of hacky.

No. You can have more than one EFI system partition with separate bootloaders on each drive and set their boot order in the BIOS, just like booting from USB or anything else.

This is also possible with just one drive. The efi boot entries for each OS are stored separately in the efi system partition.

You mean when he said he had nothing against gender-neutral language but rather drive-by PRs and made the change?

Making a donation to a campaign that the majority of Californians voted for is unforgivable.

That is an apt description for Lunduke.

Normal based on what? The ads exist because plenty of normal people use them to decide where to buy things or certain items. If they didn’t bring people in the stores wouldn’t bother.

Years later is ridiculous and unwarranted, it’s looking for someone to attack.

@[email protected] or whomever is responsible, thanks for updating the software to 0.19.1 (rc). Silly me I thought it was unlikely to happen over Christmas.

Really appreciate you taking the time over the holiday to update and hopefully resolve the issues we've been seeing for a while.

Let the comments flow!
