Windows will not boot with this method. By renaming the file back to bootmgfw.efi windows will boot again but now linux won’t boot. There is no clean solution, other than switch to different computer that doesn’t have this issue. Because of issues like this I don’t recommend dual booting. Installing only Windows or only Linux is more manageable for not-tech-savvy people.
In windows EFI partition, there will be an EFI/Microsoft/bootmgfw.efi file, I usually rename it to bootmgfw.efi.bak and that allows grub to load.
I have observed that many laptops are hard-coded to boot windows whenever possible. Even with windows bootentry missing, firmware will skip Grub set to first priority and start windows. Only way to make them start Grub is to rename bootmgfw.efi to a different name.
For me the value of podman is how easily it works without root. Just install and run, no need for sudo or adding myself to docker group.
I use it for testing and dev work, not for running any services.
It’s the same picture.
Yes it is the ratings on winehq, https://appdb.winehq.org/
And yes, an average user probably going to fire a game, figure out it is not working, and promptly go back to windows, which makes that data less accurate, but what can we do about it?
The left axis is total number of ratings of each type (Garbage, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) in a given month (not per app). For example for month 2016-07 there were
"Garbage" => 22
"Bronze" => 14
"Silver" => 13
"Gold" => 55
"Platinum" => 61
On right side is the average rating. So if I assign values to each rating:
"Garbage" => 1
"Bronze" => 2
"Silver" => 3
"Gold" => 4
"Platinum" => 5
I can get an average rating, which will be between 1 to 5.
((22*1) + (14*2) + (13*3) + (55*4) + (61*5)) / (22 + 14 + 13 + 55 + 61)
~= 3.721
Technically, containers always run in Linux. (Even on windows/OS X; on those platforms docker runs a lightweight Linux VM that then runs your containers.)
And I wasn’t even using Docker.
How I lost a Postgres database:
Just did some basic testing on broadcast addresses using socat, broadcast is not working at all with /32 addresses. With /24 addresses, broadcast only reaches nodes that share a subnet. Nodes that don’t share the subnet aren’t reachable by broadcast even when they’re reachable via unicast.
Edit1: Did more testing, it seems like broadcast traffic ignores routing tables.
On 192.168.0.2, I am running socat -u udp-recv:8000,reuseaddr - to print UDP messages.
Case 1: add 192.168.0.1/24
# ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
# # Testing unicast
# socat - udp-sendto:192.168.0.2:8000 <<< "Message"
# # Worked
# socat - udp-sendto:192.168.0.255:8000,broadcast <<< "Message"
# # Worked
Case 2: Same as above but delete 192.168.0.0/24 route
# ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
# ip route del 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0
# # Testing unicast
# socat - udp-sendto:192.168.0.2:8000 <<< "Message"
2024/02/13 22:00:23 socat[90844] E sendto(5, 0x5d3cdaa2b000, 8, 0, AF=2 192.168.0.2:8000, 16): Network is unreachable
# # Testing broadcast
# socat - udp-sendto:192.168.0.255:8000,broadcast <<< "Message"
# # Worked
Here is a trick that has been tried and tested over the years: Install another distro, and use that to install Arch. This way, you can rely on an already working linux distro till your Arch install works the way you want.
Hmm… Maybe I should adjust my priorities.
I was confused for a moment, because intuitively a CPU fan would look in the same direction as it blows air, so it should look into the heatsink. The fan looking away from the heatsink seems weird to me.
Or the owner installed the fan in the wrong direction.
TPM stores the encryption key against secure boot. That way, if attacker disables/alters secure boot then TPM won’t unseal the key. I use clevis to decrypt the drive.
I run a crude automation on top of OpenSSL CA. It checks for certain labels attached to kubernetes services. Based on that it creates kubernetes secrets containing the generated certificates.
It’s fine guys, I ran it in a VM with no networking.
Never tried that, though a quick search got me this: https://superuser.com/questions/1471937/how-can-i-add-a-bcd-boot-entry-for-linux-in-windows-boot-manager-in-efi
