Are you okay?

They do. By default the system partition is straight up mounted read-only.

Is that… ICQ? Why?

systemctl disable systemd-critic.service

Systemd-init, the core part of systemd, offersa wide range of features surpassing other init systems. More features lead to more bugs and security vulnerabilities.

This is a bad take. Many of systemd’s features improve security significantly. And having all that code in one cohesive place can’t possibly be inherently less secure than the cornucopia of init scripts we used to use.

Adversarial interoperability is not exploitative.

They do. Even back in their pre-UEFI days, it was possible to flash BIOS from a properly-formatted USB drive by holding down a magic key combination at power on. But it was not exactly publicized as a supported method.

Oh and the aqueducts!

The ones we’re investing tons of money to replace to remove the lead?

The vastness of the ecosystem built around Apple products cannot be understated. You can’t just change the iPhone port every few years.

Ditching the 30-pin adapter created no small degree of controversy. Though the device itself got favorable reviews, the New York Times’ tech columnist at the time called it “not just a slap in the face to loyal customers” but a “jab in the eye.”

The Lightning connector was introduced on September 12, 2012, with iPhone 5. And there was so much controversy around it that they publicly committed to using it for at least 10 years.

The USB-C spec was not finalized until nearly two years later, in August 2014.

I can’t fault a company for activity committing to a decade of compatibility with peripherals. And I certainly can’t fault them for avoiding the disaster called Micro USB.

Cloud-init is fairly well documented:

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/network-config-format-v2.html#nameservers-mapping

But if you do not need it (and if you’re configuring DNS by hand, it doesn’t sound like you do), you can disable it entirely:

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/disable_cloud_init.html

resolv.conf itself should be managed by systemd-resolved on any modern Ubuntu Server release. And that service will use the DNS settings provided by netplan.

With cloud-init disabled, you should have the freedom to create/edit configuration files in /etc/netplan and apply changes with netplan apply.

Have you de-Googled or something? They only really nail you when you don’t have a signed-in Google account with real-world web usage, particularly if your connection originates from a flagged IP.

Nice try 😆

Nobody:

OP: “Please do the needful.”

They don’t sell data. They sell ads. Selling data would directly erode their ability to sell ads.

I know. I’m responding to the absurdity of it.

Nobody really uses Kubernetes for day-to-day work, and it shows.

Wat.

How do middle-click-to-paste and middle-click-to-scroll conflict?

Some of us are clumsy.
