The other handy reason to keep torrent files around is you can use it to verify the data you have isn't corrupted or changed in some way.

DNS is only used initially on first load, after that the connection is made via IP and DNS isn't used.

Between this, crowdstrike, and similar events my hope is people still stop relying so much on giant centralized services, but I'm being optimistic and that's not going to happen.

CalTopos Viewshed layer is also a handy tool, it's purely viewshed so no RSSI calculations, but it's great for figuring out where a good spot for an antenna would be.

It's just weird that after install it can't detect my hardware and pull the drivers it needs like windows does.

I find quite often that the Live version of a distro will work perfectly, but after install some hardware won't work anymore.

I'm not sure what you mean?

I just don't see how a flip phone is practical, it's thicker in your pocket, way more complex, and very expensive.

the issue is when the OS forcefully installs that update and breaks your system without you doing anything.

The crowdstrike update was pushed out by their own software I thought, not the windows update system?

Plus crowdstrike has caused similar issues with Linux systems before, so the solution is to just not use crowdstrike and similar solutions on any OS.

The issue is not that Windows had a broken update, that can happen and it’s fine, the issue is when the OS forcefully installs that update and breaks your system without you doing anything.

I would have thought most businesses with windows would do staged rollouts.

That's pretty wild, I guess arch is not meant to hold your hand at all so it makes sense.

Windows doesn't in my experience, it's surprisingly robust.

But also I thought Linux distros normally keep the old Kernel around after an update so stuff like this doesn't cause a boot failure?
