UnfortunateShort , to Memes in Debate this!

Technical question: If he would murder both candidates, could he still become president and pardon himself?

UnfortunateShort , to Memes in Guess how my day started

Hot water an dish soap works miracles on all kinds of clogs btw.

UnfortunateShort , to linuxmemes in Linux best

I have to, for work - which is why I am happy whenever they do stuff right. That said, there is also a lot of schadenfreude whenever they think something along the lines of "let's tell people we will screenshot everything".

Whatever MS does, I win.

UnfortunateShort , to Privacy in Using Discord in a private way?

I heard the messages even stay when you delete them. At least people claimed they could recover then, don't know whether that's actually true.

UnfortunateShort , to Privacy in Using Discord in a private way?

You can use it in a browser or opt for WebCord.

Note that any text send to discord currently stays there forever. I don't know when, but you can bet your ass they will be investigated for a violation of the GDPR, which hopefully stops that for good.

UnfortunateShort , to Comic Strips in Copy and Paste [Last Place Comics]

There is a Kill la Kill reference hidden in there... Hidden in plain sight, I mean.

UnfortunateShort , to Privacy in PayPal Is Planning an Ad Business Using Data on Its Millions of Shoppers

There are plenty, although some might be regional, others had security issues. In Europe, I know of Klarna, Skrill and (kind of) Revolut. In the US there are Block (Cash App) and ofc Google, Apple and Amazon... But I guess they are not really an upgrade :D

UnfortunateShort , to Privacy in Don't see many mentions to Waterfox?

Waterfox? Librewolf? Why not both?

UnfortunateShort , to Memes in Average i support Palestine vs i support Ukraine NPCs

Is this AI generated trolling or is the person behind this just next level stupid?

UnfortunateShort , to Memes in Average i support Palestine vs i support Ukraine NPCs

Stupid fact checkers with their stupid facts disproving all my convenient lies

UnfortunateShort , (edited ) to Privacy in Telegram CEO calls out rival Signal, claiming it has ties to US government

Edward fucking Snowden has recommend Signal and I think if anyone knows whether it's secure, it's probably him and the NSA.

That and he is paranoid to a point where he physically kills all mics and cameras on his devices, so if he claims anything is secure, I will believe him unconditionally.

UnfortunateShort , to Memes in EA gonna EA

Great games are cheaper than ever. If you buy into those only trying to extract as much money from you as possible, that's on you

UnfortunateShort , to Privacy in Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.

Tbf, they held a user vote in Germany (supposedly, although the app did ask me to vote) whether to work with them or risk to cease services. Iirc the backgrounds were extremist (terrorist?) groups operating on the platform

UnfortunateShort , to linuxmemes in What is your experience with btrfs snapshots?

Sorry for the late reply btw, responses were broken for me

UnfortunateShort , (edited ) to linuxmemes in What is your experience with btrfs snapshots?

In the case of Dracut, I'm not sure what it does exactly, but the kernels will almost definitely not be identical. In the "EFI kernel", uneeded modules (meaning most of them) are usually omitted.

You could probably also have different kernels in terms of version number, although it might complicate things. Kinda depends on whether they recycle data structures from the first kernel and whether those remain compatible. I don't really know whether this is actually done tho.

The reason why multiple kernels (or bootloaders for that matter) are used is that there are different levels of "readiness" in your system. Say you have LVM and a LUKS encrypted partition (in whatever order). Systemctl-boot will load the kernel and it's initramfs, but can't be bothered to deal with complicated file system shenanigans. That would complicate the whole program significantly.

So it just loads a Linux kernel which has these capabilities. That kernel can deal with LVM, decrypt the LUKS partition (or ask for a password), mount whatever btrfs nonsense is inside and then hand it over to the proper kernel. The proper kernel can in turn rely on having all its stuff mounted and ready, instead of having to worry about all this.

You could do with just one kernel, but Dracut allows you to rapidly create bootable kernel + initramfs pairs of which you might need multiple (e.g. for dual booting, backup). Moreover, you probably wouldn't really want it to fiddle with your kernel all the time, especially when it's customised already.
