This is fine.

He isn’t being pursued for sharing the info but rather in directly committing crimes to get the info.

Debatable. But even if he did, that means he helped uncover the human rights abuses of the US and it’s allies and their unbelievable collateral damage(~60% of deaths in Irak where civilians). Again maybe legally wrong, but ethically it was the right thing to do.

He’s also now a Russian stooge so probably

I don’t know where you get that info from, but if I had messed with the largest military industrial complex on the planet, I’d be looking for friends in other contries aswell. Snowden understadably did the same.

probably deserves nothing other than what the US prison system will give him.

I wouldn’t even want my worst enemy to experience US prisons. They are inhumane and they torture prisoners (extended solitary confinement) on a daily basis as a form of coercion. How could you wish this on anyone?

That the US law forbids such acts is a no brainer. But it’s still “Telling the truth”. imho this qualifies him for the nobel peace price rather than incarceration.

Do you have any credible sources for that or are you just regurgitating claims from your social media bubble?

Always a pleasure to help :) Yeah took me a while to get it right to, but fortunately there are many guides to secure it properly.

ssh is so amazing. With X11 forwarding you can start graphical apps aswell, so via ssh you can run everything you would on your host but via lan or the internet. I used it to edit documents directly in libreoffice on my host and I have an app on my smartphone wich emulates a mouse.

Ssh is always enabled

That depends on the distribution. In archlinux the server is disabled by default. If I remember correctly some distributions distinguished between the client and the service package, which arch doesn’t, so it could be standart to enable it if you install the server.

Also usually I can access the tty but sometimes a reinstall is easier than figuring out how to fix it.

Yes, true and most of the times it’s quicker to reinstall. It’s especially annoying if you haven’t used your system in a while and have no idea what you did last.

Snapshots is sth I still should setup.

The gentoo wiki has a super detailed guide about porting your system to btrfs: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Btrfs/System_Root_Guide

No, it’s the printed linux from scratch documentation. :P https://linuxfromscratch.org/

Only if they think they aren’t stupid themselves. I think everybody, including me, in past and present (and most likely in the future) is stupid.

I mean we’ve got more or less the same brain people in the stone ages had and are trying to solve problems in the microcomputing age. Of course we’re going to make mistakes and most ideas we have about the universe or society are probably wrong. And of course we’ll repeat the mistakes of our ancestors.

So I don’t think thinking of someone as stupid is bad, just assuming you’re less stupid is.

Sorry I get equally worked up over the assumption that people aren’t stupid.

What helped me minimize my reinstalls was enabling ssh on my PC. If my UI goes pear shaped I can go through the logs on my phone or my laptop. I can also recommend COW-filesystems liks btrfs or zfs for snapshots and rollbacks.

Putin forces 90% of online anonymity to murder the remaining 10%.

I just did some more research and aparently my intel was a bit outdatet (from arount 2020). The guide should still work, though booting from SSD should be working by default and does not require any eeprom-updates. So you can probably start with step 4.

Raspberry Pi4? Then yes, here’s a guide to update your bootloader:

For older models(Pi<4), no but kinda: Afaik oder models could only boot from SD-cards. But that only means the bootloader has to be on the SD-card. So you can copy everything but the bootpartition and change the entry in the /etc/fstab to the new root on the SSD.

Look at his post history. He doesn’t want to shit for three days. Didn’t elaborate. Fucking legend.

Oh yeah, good idea! Before this strike I only heard of Mastodon. Didn’t like it because it was so twitter-esque. I wasn’t even aware that there are other federated networks which are similar to reddit… If all of my posts and comments said something like “user moved to lemmy.world” I’d spread the word that there are alternatives.
