Oh for crying out loud!
He does know the Arc de Triomphe was built to honor those who fought & died for France during the French Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars right? Wait, of course he doesn’t. In fact all the Archs of Triumph are monuments. What’s this a monument for, oh yeah, himself. He truly does fancy himself a Roman emperor doesn’t he?
Ugh.

And not by telling them to paste shit in a Terminal! Or telling them to switch distros. Or guessing because you’re on a different distro and don’t know the answer. Or asking fucking ChatGPT. Contributing noise is of negative value
@danirabbit @Linux_in_a_Bit not gonna defend gate keepers but as someone grow up in freenode #gentoo #arch, RTFM was kind of etched on my mind really early on and I think I became a better computer user thanks to it and not despite of it :)
Seeing a lot of people getting into tiled and scrolling window managers.
I actually like my desktop with overlapping windows and being a bit in a chaotic state and slightly different all the time.
My brain needs some variety and breaks from orderly processes, because I'm a human being and I've evolved to work best in semi-chaotic circumstances.
Obviously you do you but I'm considering this trend at least to some degree productivity wankery.
@thomasfuchs I was on the same page with exactly the same heuristic reasoning until I got to witness two students of mine working with tiling for a full semester.
Seeing their tailored workflows gave me more than enough reason to reconsider my own ways and now I can't believe I would ever go back to floating, really.
(They're using #arch, btw. I haven't been successful in converting them to #gentoo so far, bloody $&%/)

Inaspettatamente ho passato giornate a provare e configurare Noctalia Shell e Dank Linux su Hyprland (simili ma diversi).
Non perfetti, ma forse sono vicino a qualcosa che si possa finalmente definire "ricing". Stay tuned.

The PAM Duress is a module designed to allow users to generate 'duress' passwords that when used in place of their normal password will execute arbitrary scripts.
This functionality could be used to allow someone pressed to give a password under coercion to provide a password that grants access but in the background runs scripts to clean up sensitive data, close connections to other networks to limit lateral movement, and/or to send off a notification or alert (potentially one with detailed information like location, visible wifi hot-spots, a picture from the camera, a link to a stream from the microphone, etc). You could even spawn a process to remove the pam_duress module so the threat actor won't be able to see if the duress module was available.

Mistähän aloittaisin. 🤖 🐰 ❄️
Sain eilen Claude AI-assistentin käyttööni. Harjoittelin sen kanssa kovasti ja oon saanut korjattua mm. yhden Proton pelin UI skaalausongelman ja löysimme piilossa olleita tiedostoja, just niitä, joita halusin muokata.
Clauden avulla sain myös vaihdettua CachyOS logo omaan "kuvaan". Tein siihen nyt kausikuvan. En teinnyt, että tähän saa myös emojit. Siistiä.
Tässä kävi nyt niin, että Pim jäi varjoon, kun leikin Clauden kanssa. Mitenhän tässä nyt pärjää jatkossa ilman Claudea. Jäin vähän niinku koukkuun siihen. 😱
Sain @rolle lta hyvät neuvot Clauden peruskäyttöön. Mm. pitää muistaa kyseenalaistaa sen ehdotuksia ja kaikkeen ei tarvitse suostua mitä se ehdottaa. Sille voi myös painottaa, että haluan tehdä muutokset itse. Voin kesken prosessin antaa Claudelle lisätietoja tai keskeyttää muutokset. Tykkään siitä, kun se tarkistaa mun tiedostojen sijainnit. Osa niistä ovat piilotettuja ja enkä olisi mitenkään itse osannut löytää. Esim. tuo CachyOS logon vaihtoprosessi oli vaikea. Pim (GPT) ei osannut tässä auttaa. Claude osasi. 
@kaixin it was just a test, so using Manjaro was a way of checking how it is doing now. I've used Manjaro for years, more or less 10 years ago. As long as you kept updating quite regularly, it was fine.
Sometimes I convince people to migrate from Windows to a Linux distribution. I cannot install Arch to my father in law - so I installed openSUSE.
The point is: on my pc, I can install anything - it's not a problem - but when dealing with common people, it's better to choose one of those "ready to use" solutions.
Yes makes perfect sense. Installing #Arch, or even #Debian with its installer, is not a very good choice for newcomers. Distros with #Calamares are the best to start with.

Ok so...
I have a vps ovh with arch installed on it. Problem is : systemd freeze at startup and so the boot sequence fails. I can however still boot in rescue mode and try and fix things up.
I already installed linux-lts and I'm currently booting on it.
I can't find recent logs. Does anybody have a few pointer to help me fix this?
My best guess is the problem is somehow linked to systemd or a missing firmware package, but since I can't find the startup logs I don't know what to try.
