My issue has been with #1 on your cheat sheet. My first modern (post 2014) migration attempt was with Manjaro, but every time I would install updates it would break secure boot. Then 2 weeks ago it just flat out killed grub.

I decided to take the advice of many people on the Linux side of Lemmy and nuked Manjaro in favor of CachyOS. I like it quite a bit more than Manjaro, and limine kicks grub’s ass, but I keep running into more limitations with the package manager. I look for windows software alternatives, find they should be available on the AUR, but then have problems getting an installation.

There is a lack of good documentation for using AUR on Cachy, and things aren’t intuitive for a long time Windows power user. That doesn’t even get into flat pack or AppImage. It’s a very steep learning curve.

TIL that Lithuania is Russia’s Scotland. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

The Hunt for Red October did the same, the first minutes are in Russian with subtitles and then it slips into English mid sentence as if the audience adapted to the language. Very effective actually.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s Sean Connery’s brogue on a Russian naval captain, but at least it somewhat explains it. Clearly the captain is from wherever the Scottish equivalent for Russia is.

I’m sure they would if the city would stop fining and harassing them about the bore holes for core samples. The pencil pushers are always standing in the way of real science.

What a horrible day to have eyes.

Apparently Marta didn’t expect to cachy them paws for pulling the old fake ball throw. Poodles are masters when it comes time to throw down (13 stories).

The only reason I haven’t switched to Manjaro permanently is because mods for the Warhammer tides games is much more tedious and I play Battlefield 6. The rootkit anti cheat software that many of the new multiplayer games use suck, but I do still want to play some of those games.

Instructions unclear, used my fartbox and now there’s even more corrosion than using my cakehole.

To add insult to injury, they are fully capable of adding the 4g module because Canadian Volts were able to be upgraded. GM decided to not let US owners pay for the upgrade, because fuck us that’s why.

Not the OP, but you can clean all the parts when torn down for service. Vacuum bags instead of holding tanks also helps with that, but mostly it’s the filters. Replace all the filters and the smells go with it.

My mid 2000’s Japanese SUV. Manual transmission, regular old v6 gas engine, only one “computer”. Same engine, drivetrain, and frame for 3-4 different models so parts are abundant. Can repair/replace anything on it with a handful of power tools and elbow grease.

It’s good to see the papyrus guy bounced back and became Secretary of State

That’s how the turtle do.

Seriously, some aquatic turtles can extend their time under water by using their cloaca like primitive gills. Look up cloacal respiration.

I will preface this by saying I do not agree with how this administration is enforcing immigration law, and triple disagree with how they are removing legal status from people to get easy deportations. It is being done both stupidly and cruelly. ICE should be uniformed and identifiable, and all law enforcement should be held to the highest standards.

That said, an asylum seeker is just that, an asylum seeker and not an illegal immigrant. Lumping them in with illegal immigrants to help whitewash illegal immigration is, in my opinion, as much a contributor to the problem as those claiming asylum seekers are lying. Both sides of this argument keep shoving the asylum seekers into the illegal immigrant bucket to serve their narratives and it pisses me off.

Obviously every person who illegally immigrates is doing so trying to feed themselves and/or their family better than they can in their own country, basically no one wakes up and decides to throw away their entire lives and legal status to go to another country. That does not mean laws don’t apply to them. No one on earth has a right to go to another country except through the established legal means of that country, which is why statelessness is such a terrible crime against the people who are rendered such.

Lumping in illegal immigration with things like race and slurs and calling it racist waters down racist. Basic human dignity and respect for things that are intrinsic qualities like race, gender, sexuality, etc is not the same thing as someone’s legal status. This doesn’t stop the racists, doesn’t help anyone, and weakens actual narrative.

Lawful evil with utrawides.

If ray tracing can give me back the fun of tunneling through the ground with explosives that the first Red Faction games let me do, I will 100% change my mind on the technology. I have missed 100% destructible environments.

Your absolutely right and I will be moving to an open source TOTP solution going forward, it just sucks that great services keep getting enshitified and we have to keep moving to better pastures. LastPass to Bitwarden, now Authy to something else.

My work 2FA is physical token based, it is my personal 2FA that causing me problems. Email and text authentication is insecure enough that I try and use a software authenticator whenever possible.

Great point about the work phone. I don’t want a work phone as I don’t have any desire to be reachable 24/7 outside of the rotating week I’m on call, but if I was expected to have email and Teams and everything on my phone I would definitely require one. Thankfully my work texts are all for team updates, heads up about issues, scheduling matters, etc, but I still consider those to be important while not riding to a separate work phone

I suggest just exporting and using a different 2FA app, especially an open source one like Aegis

Authy dropped their desktop app and killed the ability to export. I will have to start from scratch, but I definitely plan to.

I spent a week with that discussion your linked plus several other posts, I just couldn’t get it working. I might have better luck next time I try it though.

That was why I wanted to move to GrapheneOS, I could selectively use Google services or apps for convenience while still being more secure than stock Android. I’ll have to plan my next attempt out instead of Yolo and adapt, lol.

I do plan to migrate to a new 2FA, but Authy made that hard by getting rid of their desktop app so you can’t port and have to go to each service and manually sign up a new app one by one. I tend to boycott services when they get that anticonsumer/anticompetitive out of principle.
