Thing 5, ew NAT

Why is this being posted to Linux? Wouldn't !privacy@programming.dev be more appropriate?

This will be cool and useful, I currently use tayga as a clat with jool as the plat.

Might be possible? It's not only possible but rather easy to do, in fact I often have multiple installs side by side in different subvolumes and I can switch between them, reinstall as needed, snapshot them. The only partition I have separate is /boot because it has to be vfat for the esp. Tbh accidentally blowing up a subvolume isn't all that much more or less difficult to do than accidentally blowing up a partition. IMO if you're paranoid about wrecking something the only safe separation is multiple drives and disconnecting the one you want to avoid touching. I keep home in a separate subvolume specifically for the separation you mention, it can persist across different installs because it's separate. Subvolumes are fully isolated from most failures with the exception of filesystem corruption.

I would think most distros that use glibc should work, steam and pretty much all games don't care about the init system. I personally use devuan and have had no issues.

Tl;Dr they all failed because they're init daemons and not entire system management daemons. Article gave a nice description of the different choices but I gave up reading after runit because the reason for failure always boiled down to

It's only an init daemon

Honestly people are making a big deal out of this but I don't get it, the time for the outrage was when both AMD (2023) and Nvidia (2022) introduced frame generation into their respective upscalers. It was always gonna be downhill from there.

You make a good point, yes the government needs surveillance reform but we also need better data broker laws

Wonder if this will also allow swap on btrfs raid

Technically that segment is not a com file. They are MZ exe files. com files have no metadata or header.

There are actually 3 exe variants, MZ, NE, and the modern PE

The interpreter is then executed in unprotected real mode for full privileges.

Good thing I'm running sudo from real mode so it can elevate me to real mode

I still use them exclusively lol
