@cjd Ubuntu's default partition setup allocates a 512MB /boot. You tell it "do what you want with the disk" and it'll do that. Then by default it turns on unattended-upgrades. Then it trickles new kernels to /boot but does not remove the old ones and updates the bootloader to boot the new kernel by default, which apparently occurs whether or not /boot is full. Then eventually the user reboots the machine. There are two options on the screen: new kernel, or new kernel plus safe mode. But the kernel it is configured to use does not represent a kernel that is actually on the disk, so it refuses to boot. Ubuntu renders itself impossible to boot. Ubuntu commits suicide if you don't intervene.I do not know for certain whether this problem persists to the present day but it did occur for years. I don't know who is in charge of QA at Canonical but apparently no one is in charge of telling Ubuntu not to commit suicide.

@p @cjd about the boot partition, 512MB sounds a waste of space, but I think I must be confusing this with the EFI partition, because I made it of 16MB on /dev/sda2 because /dev/sda1 was suddenly "corrupted", and that amount of space was a lot.Continuing about the topic, you *should* run sudo apt autoremove (or autoclean - I honestly don't remember the difference right now) - oh wait that doesn't remove old kernels I think... it doesn't, because MX Linux comes with a tool for exactly that, remove old kernels from the boot partition... but isn't the partition where the BIOS checks first? I'm so confused right now.Anyway, I will use this post to tell you I applied to a job at Canonical once and they made me have an interview with an AI that would skip questions if you wouldn't begin to reply after 3 seconds (each question) -it was so annoying that I let her keep asking to see what were the questions. Mostly about AppArmor and Snap.

@anokasion @cjd Oh, it's not related to EFI. Basically the EFI partition usually just has the bootloader and things like that, the bootloader config, right, and that points at the boot partition, the boot partition will have the kernel and initrd. It doesn't usually need to be a separate partition.> they made me have an interview with an AIThis is so fucking stupid. Whoever puts shit like that in place should be slapped.

@p @cjd Yeah. It's still there if you let it create /boot/. If you aren't constantly `apt-get --purge remove` old kernel and module packages it murders itself.

Remember when Canonical hired a monster who was convicted of raping his own sister, admitted they were informed of his sex offender status, and then defended the hiring decision after the public found out because he'd "served his debt to society"? Quite the fascinating ethical framework these "people" have.

@p @cjd that makes sense, I must have the kernels in another partition (can you have it on your Linux main one though?) because they began to have an important filesize *I think* (50-150mb?) - basically by what you told, I think I have a 16mb boot partition (the EFI one) with the bootloader, another partition with the kernels and stuff, another with the main system ("/") and another for my $HOME. I should check it on gpart later. Thanks for the explanation.

@anokasion @cjd > (can you have it on your Linux main one though?)Yep! I don't do a separate /boot partition.> another with the main system ("/") and another for my $HOMEAlways good to have a separate /home partition. I usually do a root partition and another partition of the same size so I can update the system on one of them and then keep the other as the upgrade target/old root. So I wanna upgrade, I don't have to turn off the box to do the system update: I just rsync the current root and then chroot into it, do the upgrade, pop the chroot, set the other partition as the new root (bootloader, /etc/fstab), then I can either reboot and be in the new system immediately or I can chroot into it and start sshd and everyone that ssh's in gets the new server.

@phnt @Suzu @p @cjd @hakui you have to feed documentation, but maybe crafting a "test shit on this env, throw shit at a wall until you are sure you understand things"in any case, chat yipiti has helped me write gentoo and nix derivations but for gentoo sometimes made slight errors.

@Hoss @pista @cjd > Remember when Canonical hired a monster who was convicted of raping his own sister, admitted they were informed of his sex offender status, and then defended the hiring decision after the public found out because he'd "served his debt to society"? Quite the fascinating ethical framework these "people" have.No, I don't remember that. I had to look around because you didn't give a name.Sisters, apparently; plural: https://www.fandompulse.com/p/jeremy-bicha-a-child-sexual-predator . The way you said that, like, there was no way of verifying anything. But per https://pubapps.fdc.myflorida.com/offenderSearch/detail.aspx?Page=Detail&DCNumber=S34744&TypeSearch=IR , which they linked to, the charges were "sexual battery by juvenile / victim under 12" and the offense dates were 1996-01-01 and 1996-07-05, when he himself was 11 years old. I have no idea what happened or how old his sisters were and I don't plan to defend the guy, but if he was 11 during the incident, that sounds like a *very* different category of incident than you're indicating or even the "child sexual predator" article is giving. I really fucking hate when I hear something terrible about a company I hate and then it turns out to be not as described, and this is not as described: if I get it from a handful of searches while eating lunch then for fuck's sake, how low *is* the bar for gullibility?What he's done as an adult, he's in the :nodongles: camp, you know, he's an asshole. No surprise he's a Wayland developer or that he's interest. (Also creepy looking manlet.) Does not seem like he's worth knowing anything about.bicha.png

@ergo @Hoss @cjd @pista Well, it says "victim under 12" so it was probably younger sisters. I don't know how Florida defines the statute and I don't wanna dig too deep into it.

@mrsaturday @Hoss @cjd @pista The 14-year gap between offense date and conviction was longer than he had been alive at the time of the offense. Lot of *weird* shit.
