If the system is SystemReady then the EFI boot chain is fairly straightforward now. My current workstation just booted off the Debian usb installer like any other pc.

It's a web of trust. If the package maintainer is doing due diligence they should at least be aware how the upstream community runs. If it's a one person passion project then it's probably possible to give the changelog and diffstata once over because things don't change that fast. Otherwise they are relying on the upstream not shipping broken stuff.

This isn't still complaining about the fact they hired an ex-policeman?

I'm not sure if that is the op or Lemmy cropping stuff. I've seen similar when I've tried to post stuff.

There are lots of SBCs out there but the difference really comes down to documentation and how upstreamable everything is. The Pi might not be perfect but it's a much more reliable design to build something with than many of the other options.

They are both. There is a non profit foundation which funds the educational side and the main company which operates for a profit. I suspect the bulk of their revenue comes from the industrial side of things where the Pi makes a much better base than a lot of the half assed hacked together SBC's out in the market.

There have certainly been mis-steps asking the way but all in all I consider the Pi to be a British success story. I guess it remains to be seen how much of the valuation goes to the founders and employees and how much is invested into their next phase of growth.

Usually when MPs defect the receiving party tries to find them a safe seat to defend come the election. Otherwise what would the point be?

I'm just getting to the end of the Dragonborn DLC before returning to continue my first run through Skyrim.

I don't think Kamikaze's came about until much later in the war. I'm sure a few heavily damaged planes went down taking targets with them though.

I tried all sorts of port forwarding tricks to get wireguard working on the VM that runs my HA instance to no avail. The trailscale solution works really well. The only real problem I had was magic DNS conflicts with DNS66 on my phone (which I use for ad blocking). In the end I just used a hardwired VPN IP for my HA connection.

I just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn't bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.

I wonder which of the many fetch tools support 24bit terminal colours.
