This is an amazing article for folks interested in the low level IPC dbus. systemd, network manager, and or applications are leveraging dbus and with the new dbusbroker I expect more and more applications leverage it. It’s MASSIVELY confusing at first, but this is such a great article I hope it helps anyone interested in thr low level communications of userspace level linux applications.

FYI: I’m linking to their home location, but you can follow them from any Peertube instance. I’m on Tilvids and follow all of these folks from there so I don’t have to jump around to multiple places.

Coukd it also be that he used to work for them and is just familiar with it?

While I think she’s missed too much, she’s quite old, and I think she should be replaced (though I’m not in her area so this is a moot point really), did anyone here actually watch the video?

This is a confusion in procedure and happens all the time.

Here is the video, go to 53:40 approximately:

Sadly this. I yelled at MIL when Roe was overturned and a 10 year old made headline news. Her response was “BUT THE MEXICANS!”. They literally don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves and blaming absolutely EVERYONE else.

Please NEVER stop asking questions. As other have said, there really are no stupid questions.

If someone else acts like it’s a stupid question, then it’s their issue and not yours. NOTHING is easy until you understand it. The only way to understand it is to ask questions.

I’ve told numerous folks at work that before they do something if they have a question then let me know, because I’d rather answer a question then spend an hour or more fixing something broken.

I ask a LOT of questions. So many questions that when I first started in IT I had a lead that got used to me being in the office 2 hours before him so he knew I’d have a million questions and before he’d even go to his desk he’d stop by mine and ask if I had questions, which I always did.

Please please please please please ASK QUESTIONS.

I have been in IT for 12 years now, I have been on Linux for 16. Before this post I literally was in another thread and asked about BTRFS. I looked it up and it wasn’t making sense to me, so I asked a question. You can NEVER know EVERYTHING. And when you start to get comfortable that’s when something new comes out or you start digging deeper and have more.

Also anyone know if JustALinuxGuy is on Fediverse/Mastodon or a way to reach them about uploading these incredibly instructive videos to Peertube such as TILVids?

Question about the video. I’ve never used btrfs or Timeshift, so maybe this is just a thing with them, when he jumps to the CLI and unmounts, remounts RW, changes the @rootfs @, adds a dir and then mounts the subvolume on /dev/sda2 to /target.

This is totally new to me and I was wondering if anyone had an explanation as to why this was necessary?

I’m used to EXT4 and that’s what I run. But if BTRFS has FINALLY gotten stable and usable and I can take snapshots and roll back to older ones, kind of like branches in ostree, then maybe it’s worth this little extra work.

From what I find subvols are their own isolated branch with their own hierarchy. Is this how they’re meant to be used? Manually creating them and mounting/unmounting?

Where can one find that episode? … FOR A FRIEND OF COURSE!

They also gave me crippling anxiety. Sure showed me!

I was worried there for a second. The oak trees I’ve seen are green ans brown.

Can’t argue with that logic.

You know that all western countries aren’t the same right? Like how lots have universal healthcare, better social protections, GDPR, etc right?

I feel awful for anyone in this situation that feels they have no other choice.

I’m not a doctor, nor do I have any medical background, but sacrificing a healthy life for something that isn’t doesn’t make logical sense to me, but again I’m in the US, fighting in the US, and posting in the US NEWS. Not other western countries.

I also find it suspect you lump in all western countries as if that’s easily defined and the laws are easily molded together as if they’re all under 1 law structure. Even in the States alone that’s not feasible.

And did I say this was due to Roe overturned? If you don’t think we’ll see more more stories like this, then I wish I lived in your world.

Should be a cautionary tale to protect your data. Especially when it comes to your health information thrown over channels you think are “private”.

Finger pointing! That is definitely something a politician excels at.

Don’t worry it has 0 chance of passing.

Not sure how I move it, but I’ll keep that in mind for next post. Thank you for the recommendation.
