What a great post.

I thought this was an onion article.

This sounds unbelievable, like the turning of a ship to avoid an iceberg. It’s an unbelievably light sentencing, showcasing the country’s lack of interest in protecting women’s rights while declaring the intent to do so in the ruling.

If my partner was attacked, lost her hearing and had to attend court multiple times to defend her rights to safety, and the perpetrator got 3 years? I’d be furious.

I know she’d be devastated. The times she felt unsafe already leave such a big impact, let alone a realised attack.

Anyway. I do hope it’s just a positive sign, that all it will take is a bit more time. I want to believe it’s positive. But it’s wild to compare what I’d like to believe as obvious human rights; to not be attacked to the point of disability from an unprovoked human, then believe in the justice system in arrears to punish and (theoretically) prevent.

Anyway, long rant. Processing it because I probably believed Korea was better than that. Not all the humans, just at least the culture and law.

It’s solving a real problem in a niche case. Someone called it gimmicky, but it’s actually just a good tool currently produced by an unknown quantity. Hopefully it’ll be sorted or someone else takes up the reigns and creates an alternative that works perfectly for all my different isos.

For the average home punter maybe even up to home lab enthusiast, probably not saving much time. For me it’s on my keyring and I use it to reload proxmox hosts, Nutanix hosts, individual Ubuntu vms running ROS Noetic and not to mention reimaging for test devices. Probably a thrice weekly thing.

So yeah, cumulatively it’s saving me a lot of time and just in trivialising a process.

If this was a spanner I’d just go Sidchrome or kingchrome instead of my Stanley. But it’s a bit niche so I don’t know what else allows for such simple multi iso boot. Always open to options.

Don’t waste time on pandering to proof of ability when actions speak louder than words. The release of your research is personally something I’m looking forward to regardless of your history or experience. I will interpret your research and evaluation with my own bias and sceptical stance. I’d rather question you afterwards if your article left questions unanswered or unclear.

Jumping the gun now and questioning you before we start just wastes both our time.

Good luck with your research!

Iirc I seem to find whatever was configured dead or no longer the cool choice when I check online.

Whatever it is, I barely touch it and it works great. Very happy.

Two pihole servers, one n VM vlan, one on device VLAN with OpnSense delivering them both via DHCP options. I sometimes update lists, like yearly… At best. They’ve been there over 7 years. Calling them robust is correct. The hypervisors are 3 proxmox servers in cluster using ceph. Intrl NUC 3rd Gen. Less than 80w combined with all vms. Also 8 years old no failures but tolerant for it.

My brothers overpriced merc uses lighting zones and detection to turn off areas to not blind incoming traffic. Cool, but I’m sure within 5 years these extremely complex lighting arrays will fail and not be user serviceable, other than full headlight cluster replacement for $4k.

More complexity, shorter life. You’ll get what you want but only because it suits the makers.

Pop! Os

Imo.

What an unhinged rant. Even 30 seconds after posting I can barely understand my point. I’ll leave it there unedited though.

The root cause of this issue that they identify, is 100% the kind of AI that they’ll build for this situation.

Old mate wants to use it to keep people on their best behaviour. The kind of subjective wording that whatever he doesn’t like, is the exact reason people lie in court.

Power to that thought process through systemising it, legitimising it, is exactly part of the problem.

What’s that American who said lies about the eating cats then justifying it by saying “I’d lie if it got the American public to wake up”. Let me get the quote…

https://www.mediaite.com/news/remarkable-confession-jd-vance-absolutely-floors-observers-with-comment-that-hes-been-creating-stories-about-migrant-pet-eating/

If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.

Yep. It’s not infallible, it’s intentional. Intent goes into the creation of systems and implementations. These are the kind of people that want these systems. They’re justified in their own minds.

So to close the loop you linked that article and it’s point was:

More than half of wrongful convictions can be traced to witnesses who lied

Don’t give them reason for more ways to do so. Don’t give them legitimacy. That’s deterministic. It’s intent. It’s not failed if it worked. Your opinion on a system which is failed or fallible is not the same as the Oracle hocho who wants to be God.

They’re not sharing your values, morals, ethics or compassion.

I saw a sign on each street light on a bike path in my town that said “these street lights use aluminium cabling because the copper was stolen”.

Your plan will work.

This is no different to me having a email dedicated to searching for a house to give to real estate agents and someone saying “I don’t think it’s legal that a house has an email”. It was frustrating reading up until your comment that people just didn’t get it.

Google looks. Google reports. Even if you did nothing wrong you’re guilty until you prove innocent and even then you’ll never get your account back.

The responses needs to be contain representation at least equally to non Firefox people who no longer care to answer a poll about a product that they don’t use. Why? Only current users are going to answer the poll, not the people with the cuts and pain that forced them back to Chrome or safari. Asking survivors how to reinforce survival actually doesn’t solve for why do many people off board Firefox.

Frankly you should ask people like my 60-70yo parents why chrome not Firefox. You’ll learn more from that than the corrected responses of people who loudly have preferences but at the end of the day would stay either way. My parents tried Firefox, but then left it. Although they only tried from insistence from their son.

PS: I agree with the poll. I don’t want a chat bot either. If I did, I’d install a plugin that integrates once of my own choosing. Given the availability, privacy, and ease of lmstudio I’d rather leave it in its own place outside the browser and network. I don’t know how those like my parents feel about a bot that can probably answer their questions. I also doubt they care. Maybe it would help them ask questions they’re too embarrassed to ask friends and family for. Usually how to questions they’ve asked dozens of times. But that’s super dangerous.

I spent like 20 minutes self hosting and running over tailscale so traffic is always private… Never had an issue. I’ve got over 20 devices accessible on it.

Easy to remote register over ssh just by sending the installer plus running with server name plus key, then setting a static password.

I still think gaming wide moonlight is great though. You won’t really regret that.

Other then legacy and uefi does it have a CSM compatibility support mode? An option to enable usb initialisation before bios? Eg wait for usb initialisation?

Some “boot faster” options kind of reorder boot initialisation to a point where it’s not holding the system back.

Though I’m really running out of suggestions… I can imagine you’re pretty frustrated. I know my Dell laptop was a pain to get the right settings to get usb to boot and the stupid 100db beep to silent on boot interruption.

And you probably confirmed that live boot worked too I assume.

In the actual bios, can you see a boot order and see uefi for Windows/whatever is on your internal disk? But not any other entries?

I suggest a few more things:

Try a different brand usb. Different motherboards sometimes don’t support some usb brands. In fact, a Lenovo server I rebuilt refused to boot off certain usbs.

Some motherboards don’t initialise boot off some usb ports. Sometimes the additional ports are on another controller and initialise too slow.

Just try a straight working Ubuntu live boot usb to remove any ventoy from equation. Ubuntu has real signed uefi (and no shim) granted by Microsoft. I think that’s how it works, uefi is a mess.

Try to start isolating all the different factors, and there could be more. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything definitive if it works on another machine.

I just asked google that exact question and it said “The current world population is 8,171,661,997”
