It was from a GitHub Gist but idk which exactly it was, there are multiple. Keep in mind some files need to have copy-on-write deactivated (swapfile, VirtualBox disk images). The Arch Wiki mentions when copy-on-write should be turned off for a file
What do you mean with "birds part"? Learned from YouTube Videos, Arch Wiki, and experimenting on bare metal and in Virtualbox. Hardest part for me when installing Arch 1st time was partitioning and bootloaders
You might install an older kernel version from /var/cache/pacman/pkg
and then regenerate the initramfs. If not using NVIDIA, it's very easy to have multiple kernels installed (e. g. linux, linux-lts) to have another option if one kernel causes trouble.
I'd generally recommend having the lts or mainline kernel additionally if you use custom kernels, like zen or self compiled
In the Gentoo wiki it is also mentioned that "While it is true that Btrfs is still considered experimental and is growing in stability, the time when Btrfs will become the default filesystem for Linux systems is getting closer.". I don't know how many distros out there use Btrfs by default (never distrohopped), but it seems to become much more widely adopted than zfs.
I wrote this more or less for fun; it is slightly more extensive than the installation guide geared for a more advanced setup. The wiki is mentioned in the article as well and is encouraged to be used too
The Bootloader itself cannot be encrypted afaik, but the Kernel and initrd can reside on a LUKS Volume (GRUB_USE_CRYPTODISK). But, in order to prevent having to input your passphrase twice, you need to use a keyfile, and I have no experience with that, so I have gone another route. I don't think that a kernel and initrd necessarily need to be encrypted
Maybe Guides / Information could be shown on the lemmy web frontend by default to lower the entry barrier?
Element is a client for Matrix, a decentralized chat protocol featuring end-to-end-encryption. Lemmy seems to support DMs over the Matrix Chat protocol. Matrix is federated, so user1@matrix.org can talk to user2@matrixinstance.space.
Some fediverse apps can work together seamlessly, some can't, and support seems to be growing over time. E. g. Mastodon users can comment on PeerTube, but Lemmy users can't (not that I know of), but it's not impossible that will change in the future. But, kbin for example integrates seamlessly into Lemmy.
You can also try installing the PWA (if your browser supports it). On https://sh.itjust.works, Somewhere on the browsers web page options, there should be something along "Install" or "Add to home screen". PWA is basically the website but without browser controls, so it feels more native.
Good to see Lemmy grow, but I hope that the decentralization will work out so that the large influx of new users will spread out as evenly as possible. General purpose instances help balancing the load, and last time I checked join-lemmy.org there have been several general purpose instances, which seems promising.
I assume that there is something that is O(N), which explains why wait time scales with community size (amount of posts, comments)
This worked, Thanks!
