You know what sideloading is, masses do not. It’s easy to generate negative connotation with a word that has less context.
Everyone knows what install means to them already, and no one hates sideloading as a word. It’s about fighting a disinformation war and trying to get you to join in, just without explaning it.
Fair enough, I did assume the target audience was selfhosters based on the question.
As for provider backups - well, you’d hope. But M$ doesn’t do user available backups, so I’d be surprised if that was bundled by the average SaaS provider.
I think the error message is telling you exactly what’s up - the file it’s looking at doesn’t exist. Have you checked with a ‘stat’ on the path it’s complaining about?
You’ve got your efi partition listed as /efi, and dracut is looking directly in this directory for the zen kernel subpath under
efi/f515a4a11be148a580c14dcbdcc58ef9/
but then you list your efi directory permissions as being for efi/EFI
Which looks more correct to me.
Dracut’s looking in the wrong place I think.
under the efi/EFI directory, there should be a /boot dir. Try mounting that to /boot and running dracut -f again, it might pick it up. I think having versioned kernels directly under the efi is breaking the spec, which dracut has said they won’t do
And if you don’t know what database you’re running, how are you backing it up?
If you don’t know what database you’re running, are you bothering to do a full shutdown before backups? Are you doing backups at all…
I’m on hyperland, and I’ve configured ydotool to do some of this work. It can move the mouse, enter keyboard shortcuts and do a bunch of things that autohotkey can, however it is by no means a complete solution, or one that comes with sensible defaults. It’s just a daemon and client, and you’ll need to set it up to do what you want.
As far as I know there’s no record and replay function, though you could likely script one.
Also, for triggering the scripts, you’ll need to set your Desktop’s keybindings to point to them.
For me, it filled the requirements that it was launchable by systemd unit, as the user on login.
I use it for a vairiety of tasks, but the primary one is typing out my clipboard as if I had pasted something. I rebound alt + shift + p to that, so I can paste windows login passwords or whatever in to Teamviewer/other stuff that doesn’t accept a paste command.
The answer as always is, it depends.
Not all implementations rely on shim.
if you set up secureboot without doing anything more than instaling the OS… yeah probably it is true. Edit: e.g. GRUB2 generally relies on shim. sysemd-boot doesn’t
I haven’t checked the specific key that signs shim to confirm the expiration date, but there generally is a date, as we’re talking about certs and keys here.
Edit 2: Basically what this article is saying is that the machines will need a new platform key (mited in 2023) enrolled in the tpms, with often comes from the firmware (when tpms are wiped for initial enrollment of a new install/setup, they tend to enroll whatever platform keys from microsoft are baked in to the uefi firmware).
So basically, if you haven’t had a bios/uefi firmware update since 2022, there’s no way for you to have have the new key trusted by your tpm, and the whole chain of trust falls apart when the key you do have expires. So you’ll need to disable secureboot. If you use shim and/or the microsoft platform key in someway.
I thought that I was the same as you, but actually I realise I ‘tell myself’ things all the time.
Mostly it feels like I’m bullshitting myself with things I ‘know to be true’ to drown out irrational things I feel.
Do you never have irrational monkeybrain chatter? Like, “I don’t feel like I’m ever going to be good at X”; only to reassure yourself that you’ll get better as you practice? If I ever feel disheartened, I often ‘tell myself’ that I’m not special enough to be uniquely incapable of learning whatever it is.
I put ‘tell myself’ in quotes because none of this actually happens in slow full language sentences in my head. It can, but bothering to sound out the whole thought seems silly and inefficient somehow. Mostly it happens in fragmented feelings and flashes of remembered sensations.
Oh wait- I seem to recall…
Good lord, when you add the bone broth packet…
I have signal installed direct using obtanium, with the background connector enabled. I’ve not yet had an issue with it.
Snake eyes watching you
Have you tried tailscale with an exit node? Could be worth a test, if it works, some combination of other providers might too
Have you tried ErsatzTV? It’s selfhostable, pretty extensible, can be integrated into on-demand solutions like Jellyfin…
I wish it was new
