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

100% correct until the last sentence. Actually millions of EU nationals left never to return.

The fact that the majority of power imports is are from France and Norway is also good news as they both have very high zero carbon generation (nuclear and hydro respectively)

Ok, you’ve got me puzzled. What’s a US state named after a UK (or English) queen where cannabis is legal ?

The only female named states I can think of are Georgia, Virginia and Louisiana, none of whom have been Regent.

First sentence of the article

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

What else woukd you expect from a Lib ? Heart and empathy removal is a pre-requisite to join the party.

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

They can also hijack the connection of a connected box (ethernet over hdmi) or via a connected phone (bluetooth & chromecast iirc)

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.

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)

Damn, that’s disappointing at a quick scan. Will read in properly and fact check later. Thanks.

Got any stats on coal increasing to share ? Last I saw they were decomming significant quantities of coal stations

They have also been installing solar powerplants at a lightning rate. They installed more solar in 2023 than the US has in total according to an article I read a few months ago.

It’s not about saving the planet though, they import the bulk of their fossil fuels, moving to renewables reduces their fuel import dependency

I have considerably more characters than 6 at lloyds

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.
