Maybe? It depends what Timeshift was monitoring/backing up. In any case, the tool you used to generate the keys I believe has the ability to delete the keys (they’re just files on your system). Look up the documentation to be sure. It’s been a hot minute since I mucked around with Secure Boot, and it’s not strictly required, so I just gave up.
That’s about the extent of my secure boot knowledge. I do hope more knowledgeable people have better advice for you!
Yes, but you can really only do that with single characters, since your first example is an ordered group and the second is an unordered set in a capturing group. The equivalency drops off when you include more characters.
Plus, you can do things like [], and you can’t do that with the former example.
I would imagine there’s a difference in computing overhead, too, but I have no idea which is more performant.
But then you’d match terms like “liNuX” and “UniX,” and that’s just silly. 😆
I forget what the order of operations is, but you didn’t fuck it up. I’ve deleted the keys and started over before, though I never got secure boot to work for me in the end. Hopefully somebody smarter can provide more insight.
Because there’s non-programmers in this community, if you aren’t sure what this means but are too afraid to ask, it’s a Regular Expression that better represents the terms “Linux” and “Unix.”
Though if we’re going to be that pedantic, it would be [nN][uiI][xX]$. That extra pipe wouldn’t actually do anything in the last example, because regexp picks one character from the set by default.
And if we want to be really pedantic,
(?!nix)[nN][uI][xX]$
Would be the most accurate.
I would also love that! The truth of this matter would be much preferred over a bunch of cast aspersions.
Probably not. I’ve used it as well (before I knew about Glim) to preview distros, but I am not using it to do installs, since I can’t be certain what’s in it.
I have quite literally never seen that. The majority of the time, somebody brings up Ventoy, somebody mentions the opaque blobs or some other legitimate criticism, and a bunch of fanbois pile onto that person for having their own opinions or concerns.
Ventoy works well, but the lack of transparency concerns me and people like me.
Maybe start here, but there’s lots of discussion on the post.
Yep. It’s probably fine for most people, but it’s still a trade-off between transparency and utility. Ventoy is superior functionality, but those blobs bug me, too, and the fact that the dev is so openly hostile towards transparency is concerning.
Balena Etcher is a writer that does one ISO at a time. Other similar options are Fedora Writer, Rufus, etc.
Ventoy is one that can do multiple ISOs and is generally easy to manage.
However, be aware that Ventoy has a lot of unknown code involved. There’s binary blobs that the maintainer refuses to open source, so there’s a big question over whether it’s hiding some malware or is using unpatched packages. Nobody knows except the maintainer, and it’s just his word saying it’s safe. You could use it to test out ISOs, but I wouldn’t personally use it to actually install a system.
Also, the Ventoy fanbois are pretty insufferable, and they tend to brigade anyone that speaks ill of Ventoy or its dev.
If you want something similar that’s open source, Glim works and could be a good option; YUMI has been around for a while, but I dunno if it’s still a good project or not.
Edit: typo
Possibly. Maybe a Fishing Cat, but that’s only possible if this picture is from South Asia. Those dark marks on the sides of the muzzle look very ocelot-y, though.
Nintendo will be sending a cease and desist letter to each of us for looking at fanart of their characters.
Inb4 it’s the same logo but red, and with the same description but with the added line, “Now anti-woke.”
At least it will be easy to tell which devs support human rights and which ones are pieces of shit.
No, um you see…uh…shit…
As far as I can tell, it’s what you suggested. I don’t really care about a fork because of a rogue community manager. Their Foundation apologized, and I suspect they’ll try to do better.
A single instance does not a pattern make.
ETA: and by “rogue,” I mean someone who acts on their own apart from discussing with the team, but still represents them as if they did. I think she was justified to block some of those trolls, but she was a bit overzealous, blocking LGBTQ folks in the process.
Either way, trans rights are human rights. Fuck this fork.
Quick! It’s spreading! We need the Rocky Horror Containment Protocol!
This is my plan. If I ever see a showing locally, I’ma try to make sure it’s the “immersive experience” everyone promises
I have never seen the movie, but I absolutely would play this game.
Yes, but Coffee Stain is Swedish, and they’re the publisher. Maybe they can get a sign that’s half the dimensions of the others…?
