  • I remember a while back, years before this surfaced, there was a thread on /g/ with a group photo of Balena’s employees and a caption like “why does it take so many people to develop an electron wrapper around dd”. Obviously it was low effort engagement bait (balena does much more than etcher), but the comments were full of people calling the company a glowie honeypot and the like. Moral of the story: Trust the schizos, they sense spyware form lightyears away.

    some people can’t handle that most humans just wanna be friends regardless of gov politics bs

    Yes exactly. There are lots of internet weirdos trying to spread culture war nonsense, but if you actually go outside every once in a while, you realize that most people just aren’t like that. I work in a restaurant that has a lot of ukrainian and russian visitors (migrants). At one point, a large group of russians came in for a birthday party, and they asked the owner to put on a playlist of russian music. Like, really cheesy russian pop. After some time, a girl from a smaller table of ukrainians calls me over and complains about the music. I relay it to the owner, and he asks them what they would rather listen to instead. They tell him, and he adds their songs on the queue. The rest of the evening was spent playing and dancing to russian and ukrainian and armenian songs (the owner is armenian, and there were some armenian guests too) and the atmosphere was just generally very chill. Not a single fuck was given about politics that evening.


  • But being too rigid with letting stupid opinions of a project’s founder cause you to reject everything, would have you miss the big-picture benefits of having such a project exist

    That’s the truth. The reason online “communities” constantly argue and never get anything done is because everyone is focused on not doing the wrong things that they forget about doing the right things. A while ago I saw a post making fun of some chuds who compiled a list of “woke” video games that they wanted to boycott. The people in this thread deciding to leave proton because its ceo said something positive about trump once don’t strike me as much different.

    If GRUB is too confusing, just uninstall it? You said you have a UEFI system, you don’t need a bootloader. You can just put the vmlinuz and initramfs onto the ESP and boot into it directly. You can use efibootmgr to create the boot entry, something like this:

    efibootmgr \
    	--create \
    	--disk /dev/sda \
    	--part 1 \
    	--index 0 \
    	--label "Void linux" \
    	--loader /vmlinuz-6.6.52_1 \
    	--unicode " \
    		root=PARTLABEL=VOID_ROOT \
    		rw \
    		initrd=\\initramfs-6.6.52_1.img \
    		loglevel=4 \
    		net.ifnames=0 \
    		biosdevname=0 \
    		nowatchdog \
    		iomem=relaxed \
    		"
    
    • --disk /dev/sda: What disk is the esp on?
    • --part 1 What partition number (counting from 1) is the esp on?
    • --index 0 At what index in the boot menu should the boot entry appear?
    • --loader Path to the vmlinuz file. These are normally in /boot, you have to move it to the esp yourself
    • root=PARTLABEL=VOID_ROOT this is the linux root partiion. I’m using PARTLABEL to identify mine, but you can use pretty much anything that /etc/fstab supports
    • initrd=\\initramfs-6.6.52_1.img Again, you have to move the initramfs file from /boot into the esp. For some reason this uses backslashes, not forward slashes as path separator (double backslashes in this case are to prevent the shell from interpreting it as an escape sequence)
    • The rest of the arguments are just misc kernel parameters that I use

    Just search for EFISTUB for more info.
