you could move the flatpak stuff onto another partition with same permissions and bind mount it to the original location, then persist it with a line in fstab

root can always access them. it’s exactly for solving these kind of maintainance and repair tasks.

btw don’t forget to make backups. repairing things can go sideways.

I think Ubuntu is very good, if you want quick and easy. It’s incedibly painless.

However, it does forced auto updates by default. They are called unattended-upgrades and run in the background by default. You can pause or disable them though. Also snaps auto update silently, by default. That can also be paused, though.

What really sucks is, if you don’t have a printer it continues to try and install cups, which can be a security concern. However, I successfully blocked it by creating an immutable file where it would put the snap, while it was uninstalled.

the command ss shows connections

if they’re all already hard linked into the human folder, why rename them

use a mixer application (there are a lot) and check the levels and if maybe a gain boost is activated (not all hardware has it)

X11 can render individual windows (Xclients) through the network on another Xserver since decades. With XPRA you can even buffer them, to move them from one Xserver to another or make sure they survive network disconnect. It’s very cool, but not widely used.

it goes through an SSH tunnel

just make sure you have backups and stuff like this doesn’t matter

also, you should make backups and have a restore strategy that covers cases like this.

you can boot from a liveCD or USB, then mount the main OS, bind mount dev and proc, chroot into it and reconfigure/reinstall the boot loader

it’s actually called history-search-backward . it’s configured in /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc . if you type the first few characters of a command in your shells history, then type page-up (that key on the keyboard; if configured for page-up, which is common), it searches the most recent command that started that way. press again for the second recent. i’m using it so much, i got used to the thought process “i type this often -> lets stop typing and use page-up”. of course it can’t work with passwords 😅 i should pay more attention to what i’m doing

i noticed when a girl plays a girl without mic almost everyone assumes she’s a guy, but not in other constellations. it’s a bit strange, but my guess is ppl (at least many boys) are just trying not to get their hopes up.

VMs can be slow AF tho. Also, they use up a lot of disk space and RAM, because you have a whole ectra OS in there. But yeah, a lot of proprietary things work better in VMs with their native OS.

I want to know what is the lady’s head doing in the blob thing

It’s supposed to show her real emotions in the moment or in her head. It’s used when you can’t see her face in the moment (for example through phone) or the character acts casual on the outside.

Quick, distract them by making them bento, taking them to a picnic in the park, holding hands and kissing them! 😈

things that differ between distros, because everyone thinks they can do it better than others: multimedia and sound, firewall config, service management, different init systems, switching default when multiple packages provide the same feature and are installed in parallel, config file migration during updates, making and installing your own custom kernel, selection of free games available.

a bootable removable medium that can display and chainload all the installed OSes

No idea. The USB should be in there. Can you look onto the USB from Windows? (but don’t change anything on it) Maybe the port doesn’t work properly.
