Time to batten down the hatches here. As #StormDarragh approaches, the warning is for winds gusting up to 110 km/h all through tomorrow. And it won’t dissipate much until Monday morning.#UK #England #Devon #Weather #Autumn

@ChrisWere Yes, something like that. I think you'll get it worse so be careful.

I had one of those crazy events happen at the beginning of last weekend when I accidentally changed ownership of the /root directory structure. The immediate effect was that I couldn’t use #sudo to do anything as #root. Luckily, the computer did reboot and allowed me to log in directly as root and then I started to change all the ownerships and groups recursively back using #chown. #GNU #Linux #ShaggyDogStory

However, I still had to change some #SymbolicLinks, and it was quicker to delete them and re-link them with #ln. Everything went OK until the link from /usr/lib64 to /lib64. As soon as I deleted, I couldn’t execute anything and I was left with a system which couldn’t even get to #BootUp, let alone beyond it.#GNU #Linux #ShaggyDogStory

It’s at times like these that you start feeling a little desperate and need to keep a cool head. I had a spare #USB drive and I borrowed my spouse’s Windows computer to install a #LiveDVD image on it for #Fedora. After disabling #UEFI temporarily, I was able to get the computer to boot.#GNU #Linux #ShaggyDogStory

@lanodan @foxhkron I know, that's why I wondered why you said hopefully.

@glynmoody Politicians and even civil servants are so ignorant that they think that only they would have access to the back door. In fact, the first group to benefit would be the criminal gangs.The only way I see that it could be explained to them is to ask, "Do you think giving the police the key to every single physical lock would be secure and immune from abuse?"
