Primary issue I found with that software is there is no way to bypass certificate and old issues.

GRUB is still the standard bootloader in physical deployments because it is the most likely to work and supports most of the features you might want in a bootloader.

UKI based booting is interesting since it seems like it might support even more features. But the last time I tried to test it, there wasn’t a ton of documentation on it and the software still seemed a bit green and inflexible.

For example, my main computer right now has a completely redundant boot process. I have 2 disks which each have an efi system partition. And the root file system is btrfs raid1 across 4 disks. This was very easy to set up and completely supported by grub with no custom configuration needed. The only slightly tricky thing I had to do to install the second efi was to use an extra flag.

That's fine and easy on desktop/web browser, but for mobile devices it is not quite as easy. You would either need to use a hacked version of the app or a third party app.

Missouri is already ignoring certain federal law, so it might not matter.

Most users likely do not know about recall, and as the guy in the video shows, there doesn't appear to be anything in a normal user interface showing that it is installed and configurable.

If you are using a typical distro like fedora, debian or ubuntu, and you are wiping everything, you don't really need to know anything. The installer will handle everything for you. Just delete all partitions while installing and start fresh and it should all just work.

If your install media refuses to boot for whatever reason, then you may have to disable secure boot in the system EFI/BIOS menu.

What I'm thinking. If it took that long for my server to shut down, I would just sync and force reset. Although tbh, most things are VMs now, and those reboot pretty fast and would likely not be affected much by these improvements.

If you don't want to risk getting a ban at all, the only safe thing is to not connect to the internet at all. Maybe there is some level of safety, but it could take only one mistake.

If we assume that we fully understand how nintendo catches this, we would still only ubderstand at that point in time. They could still change or push updates which could cause you a problem.

A ton of people using github barely understand the different between github and git and often think they are the same thing or that github and git are somewhat related more than they really are.

Does that only happen when it tries to download files ending in .db.sig? If so, I think I read somewhere that db have no sig. So as long as it otherwise works, this error is cosmetic.

You could use a custom XferCommand command per PACMAN.CONF(5) with wget using -6

Something like this might work:

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -6 -c -O %o %u

If you want something similar to vim or neovim, but without all the fuss learning how to configure it and install plugins and such, you could try helix.
