Why would you count Rufus and balena etcher not trustworthy? Sounds like you’re to deep in the paranoia, which I completely understand, but gets just impractical “Man yelling at cloud” depending on how deep you are.
dd is just another program too, why trust dd? Linux is just another Program too, why trust Linux? And so on. You can audit every (OSS) Program if you want in theory, but let’s be real, no one does that because time is better spent elsewhere.
I didn’t really consider that there are feeds for such things, especially for my distro(s). Embarrassing, but it means you helped making me safer!
I’m now subscribed to the Debian security list, seeing as all my servers run Debian. I just had unattended upgrades with Mail logs before.
Didn’t know this existed. Just subscribed. Thanks
It is really informative! Spread the word.
Same for me. Ventoy is pretty amazing and keeps most of my isos on it. Sadly, sometimes it’s not capable of doing the job, for example when I installed proxmox (based on Debian 12) this week, ventoy couldn’t do it. Apparently this is a known issue in ventoy.
But yeah, for most isos, ventoy is the way of you install OSes somewhat often, as it contains partition layouts and boot records regardless (I think).
There is. Just use a media creation tool, like Rufus. dd’ing onto a drive is a hack.
This post is stupid for attacking a group of people who just likes to play a videogame. I don’t like it.
This thread is targeted toxicity on LoL players.
Recently, I learned that booting from a dd’d image is actually a major hack. I don’t get it together on my own, but has something to do with no actual boot entry and partition table being created. Because of this, it’s better to use an actual media creation tool such as Rufus or balena etcher.
Found the superuser thread: https://superuser.com/a/1527373 Someone had linked it on lemmy
What do you mean bigger vulnerabilitirs to worry about in Debian stable?
Aren’t Rufus and balena media creation tools?
Thanks for the info, good read
Cron is active on all my Debian 12 boxes
Never heard of it but seems really nice. Good work
I resized an lvm partition on my server with a fedora live image, and when I installed something with dnf, I was in shock how long it took. Hopefully this addresses this. Personally I’ve found my home distro: Debian
I hope the first one. But the effect is real, stuff you know already was easy and stuff you don’t is hard. I’m feeling it with my migration to proxmox, it’s hard.
I really don’t get the exit vim meme anymore.
It’s just two key presses, trivial. When you hit <C-c>
it tells you exactly what to do. Anyone stuck in vom either does not read or has no idea how to use a terminal.
Edit: I’m German, I meant vim.
Wasted performance large scale means wasted resources large scale, like CO2 emissions, energy costs, and hardware that would not be needed without
Sounds pretty good! I use jellyfin, so regular music players are not really needed for me most of the time (that is everything except downtime), but when still on the local side, I too found Elisa not to have the full experience
