I can’t vouch for this particular playlist / series since I haven’t watched it, but the channel (Crosstalk Solutions) is great, and so I expect that their home networking 101 is as well.

8·9 months agoI was helping you there and asked you to back up configs and post some information.
Once you’ve done that I think actually getting things back the way they should be will go fine.
I didn’t know TWAIN, so I looked it up and am glad I did:
TWAIN: Technology Without An Interesting Name
What version of Ubuntu are you using?
What is the output of the following command?:
dpkg -l | grep grubIf you urgently want your grub menu to default to the first entry that can be done first, but unless that’s needed I’d prefer to get to the root of the problem(s) and get a proper fix.
This should get you back to defaults:
sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grubAt some point you definitely did accidentally write to /etc/default/grub when you meant to write to /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
There’s no shame in that; Grub’s configuration process is very confusing and counter-intuitive.
Everybody who has used Linux long enough has stories of breaking their systems in sillier ways, and this didn’t even really break your system 🙂.
Just because you didn’t / don’t experience it doesn’t mean it’s uncommon.
This isn’t actually about the length of his hair.
It’s that Black natural / protective hair styles are seen by racists as being “disrespectful” and they even said why they have the policy.
Their list included many things, but only one of those was actually relevent here “respect for authority”.
Racist people and racist systems will always punish Blackness. This is just one specific example of a larger pattern.
Wubi will get you that Windows + Linux in the same partition achievement.
Multiple school officials in the U.S. have asked children to pee in front of them to prove that they’re “actually a boy”.
One principle literally kicked in the door of a highschool bathroom stall that a trans kid was actively using (to fucking pee / poop).
Genital inspections have been asked for (I hope not actually done) in children’s sports competitions.
This is really happening, and transphobic rhetoric is driving it.
Every woman friend I have would feel much safer being in a bathroom with a trans woman than with a trasphobe; Especially the butch lesbians.
She works in “criminal justice” for the U.S. military.
You can be pedantic about the ‘C’ in ACAB applying, but the Bastard bit inescapably applies.
No.
This is a vulnerability which allows bypassing secure boot protections. You have already manually bypassed those protections by disabling secure boot.
A concrete example of this is doctors and hospitals creating guidelines about how to triage care when ICUs were/are full because of unmitigated spread of COVID.
It is definitely an “interesting” phylisophical question to ask:
“If a long term ventilator user comes into the ICU, with the ventilator they own and brought from home, and they are less likely to survive than an otherwise healthy young man who needs a respirator due to COVID infection, is the morally best choice to steal the disabled person’s ventilator (killing them) and use it to save the young man’s life?”
The policy question that should be asked instead, and never really ways, is “How do we make sure that we never get to the point where we have so many people in the ICU from a preventable disease that we run out of respirators and need to start choosing who to let die?”
This is not just a hypothetical question:
Disabled people continue to plead with us for the bare minimum, like requiring doctors who work with immunocompromised patients to wear N95 respirators while treating those patients.
We continue to chose to stack more people on both sets of tracks instead.
Please be sure to check that the smart switches you have space heaters plugged into are rated for that many amps.
…unless the videos have captions, in which case you absolutely can.
View the transcript, search for something, click what you found and boom: You’re at that precise moment in the video.
For literal grep, use something like NewPipe to download the subtitle file.
This is a really weird point to argue about.
Either way, this is a rule that you as a human are required to follow, and if you fail the compiler is allowed to do anything, including killing your cat.
It’s not a rule that the compiler enforces by failing to build code with undefined behavior.
That is a fundamental, and extremely important, difference between C and rust.
Also, C compilers do make optimization decisions by assuming that you as a human programmer have followed these strict aliasing rules.

Has a few examples where code runs “properly” without optimizations but “improperly” with optimizations.
I put “improperly” in quotes because the C spec says that a compiler can do whatever it wants if you as a human invoke undefined behavior. Safe rust does not have undefined behavior, because if you write code which would invoke UB, rustc will refuse to build it.
It has already been translated into rust. Python wasn’t ever intended to be used in the “real” driver, but I thought it was a fun anecdote none the less.
10 year old bug?
What are they talking about, that bug report is from 2014‽
… Fuck
