No I'm not saying that at all. Here's some malware from a few years ago which only infected computers which had not been updated:

I'm now 3 months into ditching Windows, the only time I caved was so I could run AMD's product verification tool to get my free copy of Crimson Desert with my 9070 XT. Fedora 43 with KDE is at the very least no less stable than Windows 11 in its current state.

what video editor do you guys use?

Damn, how do people use that piece of shit?

>>108508951
Institutional inertia, battered wife syndrome and/or addiction to predatory online video games that make you install malware.

I was talking about Fedora with KDE.

>>108508991
Just the first two then

Can anyone give me some pointers on setting fallback order for USBs in efibootmgr?
I have a server that boots from a USB that is always plugged in, and what I would like is for the server - during boot - to check for another USB plugged into the front of the machine, and try to boot from that (a rescue USB that gets me SSH so I don't have to hook up a screen) and if it isn't there (which will be almost always) it boots from the USB in back.
What I'm not sure how to do is specify with efibootmgr which PCI hardware path is relevant to the boot entries I create. I know how to make them and order them, just not how to specify which USB I mean for each entry.
Anybody know how to do it?

>I have a server that boots from a USB that is always plugged in
all of my why

>>108508951
it just works

>>108508951
I started on Fedora with KDE just recently. Never again, it was a coin toss whether it would boot normally or into emergency mode. I don't know if I broke something or if it's just like that

>>108509878
My system is encryped. /boot could be encrypted with a passkey, but that is a pain to enter on a headless server. Keeping a keyfile in the same place as the thing is encrypts nullifies the use of encryption, so that's out too.
Keeping /boot on a USB means that I can physically remove the USB to make it completely secure. Because I can't protect it with encryption I can protect it physically.
I could boot from a networked boot on another computer too I suppose. I have considered it but this seemed simpler.

>>108510175
if the usb is in the system all the time it's pretty much the same as putting it on /boot or whereever. What's even the attack vector here? People banging on the door threatening to take your server so you can swiftly remove the usb without them noticing?

my ram usage is immediately over 4gb when using mangowc and waybar and it says its just those 2 using so much ram wtf even after a fresh reboot it immediately rapes. is it intentional? i do have 64gb of ram but even kde doesnt allocate as much and i have all animations and blur turned off

how much would it have benefitted gnu/linux if FSF managed to get a strong grip on the whole system and maintain it till at least early 2010s, single handedly setting course for all major design decisions to avoid fragmentation and reinventing the wheel over and over again? like for example someone trying to come up with yet another init/display/sound/networking system and instead of getting a flock of followers to support his fork he would be just laughed at and told to fix the existing things first?

>>108510443
i am also using artix with runit maybe no systemd is making it freak out but it used to only run at like 1gb of ram when i first installed mangowc

Apparently Ubuntu 26.04 will take 6GB of RAM minimum. WTF?

>>108510388
Pretty much. That or if I have to leave my server alone for a long time or especially if I have to transport it via some third party and I don't want anyone else to have access to it I can keep the USB with me. That's really all encryption itself can ever protect against anyway.
I know it's not especially likely to come up, but I would like to know how to do it anyway. I'm not really interested in whether this is an XY problem or whatever. I just want to know how to instruct efibootmgr to create a boot entry based on the hardware path for individual USBs.

These bastards are turning the whole of GNU/Linux into Windows corporate slop and ruining it all.
Infiltrating all projects, purging all good developers, putting in surveillance mechanisms and bloat, pledging allegiance to governments and corporations...
People always say how "Linux" is growing. No, it is as small as it always was, perhaps even smaller. The only thing growing is the corporate-captured slop masquerading as Linux.

>>108510501
people who will come and bang on your door will also have no qualms of just throwing you into a dark cell and not let you out until you tell them the password. That USB can also be taken from you quite easily. Transport though might actually be a usecase.

As for how it's done, dunno, like no one needs this. Efi should allow a boot priority list, so setting the temporary attached one higher already might do the trick, but that may depend on the specific efi implementation. Trying it out might be the only way to find out if it actually works.

>>108510447
besides that preventing forks/new free projects would go totally against the FSF ideals, the FSF does not value practical usability as highly as most users, so it would be terrible.

Is there existing documentation for porting/reprogramming a sysyemd daemon as an openrc-daemon? I know to replace systemctl with rc-service, .service enable/disable with start and stop, and to program an openrc init script. But I'm curious if other idiosyncrasies exist which I'm missing.
I know there's automated scripts like openrc.run, but I need to reformat a whole git repo with thousands of LoC, and that rests deep within ring 0. So I'd really rather do it manually.

NTA but that might be preferable to getting the contents leaked.
How long will they be able to keep him imprisoned? What reason do they have to go to such lengths in the first place?
Either anon's encrypted lolis/furries don't matter, so they let him go, or anon has something way more important than lolis/furries, so it doesn't matter if he gets thrown into a dark cell.

>dont give password
>get put in jail for indeterminate amount of time (could be one week or a few years)
>give password

Transport is actually the thing that got me wanting to do this in the first place. At some point I'm going to need to ship this whole set up internationally. I don't want all of my files to be accessible to border agents. They won't be putting me in a dark cell or anything like that because they won't be seeking out things on my hard drive for any legal reasons. It is to protect from any incidental things they might find during a random or routine inspection or things they might retain as part of some database that it's better they don't have.
There's nothing on there that would really be an issue in a legal sense anyway, unless they wanted to pick me up on minor stuff like piracy, but since I find this stuff interesting I wanted to learn how to do it.
It' also about some documents I have which are not strictly classified or anything, but also not things the people who wrote those documents want widely spread around to foreign powers. Some of my colleagues have been stopped at borders and asked to unlock laptops even by allied countries.
I figured you probably didn't know the answer to my question. This kind of thing is why people don't like XY discussion.

They won't be putting me in prison for anything on my machine even if they had full access, but yes if I were in that situation, I would like the decision about whether I disclose it or not - and the consequences of that decision - be mine to make.
