Thanks!

What did you do to get the nice terminal output with the colour display and fedora ASCII art? Just a copy+paste in bashrc?

If your phone is encrypted and you factory reset it I believe the encryption key is wiped so the data is gone (unless MI5 are really keen on spending a lot of time piecing it back together, I guess)

Skipping past the usual deserved ‘fuck Oracle’, what reason do universities (or most organisations for that matter) have to ever use Oracle’s Java? The likes of OpenJDK seem to provide identical functionality for anyone who isn’t specifically supporting Oracle Java customers, and I doubt unis are raising many JDK bugs that warrant paying for support.

That’s really useful, thanks

Ah OK, so what’s the difference between uBlue and the other fedora atomic distros? Just different people and a different arrangement of pre-installed stuff?

I’ll answer my own question: there’s plenty more here

So from there I can see

• Aurora
• Bazzite
• Bluefin
• uCore

and then this link which has

• Silverblue
• Kinoite
• Sway Atomic
• Budgie Atomic
• Cosmic Atomic

Does that sound like all of them?

Is there a guide to all the different Universal Blue spins anywhere?

Was there an original uk one? This one is the only one I’m aware of, it had a moment of doubt a year back but we got new admins before we needed to move.

Passwords? A relic, and an insecure one at that.

instead of scanning your face (which can be spoofed) or fingerprints (which can be copied), these systems scan the ‘pattern’ of the veins running inside your palm – something that’s unique to you, and absolutely can’t be faked.

Consider me sceptical.

They don’t want you viewing content from friends, they want you viewing content from the brands that pay them

It is and always has been as far as I’m aware

Yeah, they make some good points but it’s all a bit dramatic

Blockchain? Get with the times grandpa!

while true; do

isn’t exactly harder to read than

while true
do

though, is it? And going back to my original point, I don’t like while true being on its own as to me it looks like it’s meant to be a separate statement rather than part of the do/done block.

So you’d rather it all be on one line? I’d only do that if it’s a very simple command, otherwise you’re just making the code harder to read.

Simplest solution might just be to dual-boot Windows if you can’t get a VM working

I’d write

while true; do
    X
done

for the same reason I’d write

if [ something ]; then
    X
fi

or in another language

if (something) {
    X
}

Because it’s all part of the same statement and having a single line with just do or { seems silly and implies (to me) that the lines aren’t related.
