On your disk drive, where you store files, files are organized by the filesystem. The filsystem consists of, among other things, directories and files. Directories can contain contain other directories as well as files.

The pwd command tells you where in the filesystem you are now – in which directory. The command ls lists the contents of that directory, that is, which other directories and files are in there. The list that ls shows is not a list directly stored somewhere, but generated when you run the command. The command basically asks the filesystem something like “what is the content of the filesystem at this directory”, and it gets a reply, then it formats it into a nice list to present to you, the user.

bad behaviour, ​such as having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work or ‌links to extremist organisations.

Is such a bad summary, and all of the people prasing this law in this comment section as well, fail to mention a very important other “bad behaviour” which is suppose to be included in this law: Being a fucking VICTIM of a crime. They have been saying this since day one. Victims of crimes needs to be deported.

Their resoning is that someone being victim of a crime is probably living in a social situation which the far-right government deem inappropriate. Like “undeclared work”; is your boss not paying their taxes for your work? You need to go.

This law is there because it is the first step in creating an apartheid. If you have a single parent born in a foreign country – the far right is even talking about their worry about “third generation” immigrants – they should not be considered Swedish. Punishments for them they say must be different, you must always be threatened with deportation. You should not have access to public services and so on.

This law is a fucking god-send for neo-nazis. Can you imagine? Immigrants who are victims of crime gets deported. Assault them, rape them, and they will be deported if they say anything. But the neo-nazi can go home and have dinner with their family. This is probably what the current government wants as one minister has an active club neo-nazi son! He is not being deported because he is in an extremist organization! Oh, wait, sorry it is just “kids with an interest in fitness”, as several government party reps have been saying about actual neo-nazis.

I feel like making ’90s-style t-shirts with ‘fix this code’ on the front and ‘this shirt is a munition’ on the back.”

This must be a reference to something specific… Anyone knows?

Setup your ssh config to use a proxy command which uses netcat to knock on the ports. Ansible will work with that.

I suppose it is a very effective approach to attack a lot of IT infrastructure. Like how much CI and build systems rely on you being able to pull an ubuntu image and run some apt on it. You halt build systems, cloud deployment, and probably much more.

Sorry for derailing… But what was the workaround? Was the issue they used Play Integrity API and you managed to circumvent it?

I always use check.torproject.org. If I’m not on Tor, it gives me my IP, if I am on Tor it verifies that. Good for both.

Ok. What exactly is not working with the network? Are you on wired or wireless? If you do run ip a, does your interfaces show up?

Another thing to look at is journalctl -b. Look for errors, lines in red, anything about the network. If you can roll back to a functioning boot (or run journalctl -b -1 should show the previous boot) and compare to that is probably a good idea, journald (displayed by that command) may contain errors that are not relevant, so comparing to a functioning boot may be good.

Also, depending on how old your computer it, there may be another hdmi output which uses the GPU integrated to your CPU. If that is the case, you could switch to it if the nvidia card stops working just to troubleshoot, take a look at journalctl -b and look for errors again. If the screen just goes black, and does not boot, this may also give you some messages as to why the nvidia graphics is not coming up.

To the menu to the left, there is one item called “secure boot”, and sometimes “fast boot” is there. However, if your computer is booting at all, I’m not sure this is it. But try it, it will not hurt.

GTX 580? Maybe you have to install an older driver, like the 470-series of the driver appears to support it: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ Ubuntu has a bunch of older series of nvidia driver you can install for this purpose.

That would not explain your networking though. Unless that is also some older hardware too… But, a common thing to do as a new user in linux may be to find posts which answer “how do I install x in ubuntu” and they usually involve editing files under /etc/apt/sources.d/. This can wreck your system in this kind of way, so: have you done that? Or this is pure ubuntu, just regular apt update/upgrade and some apt installs?

lsblk will show if they are detected. You should be able to identify them by size.

mount to see if they are mounted.

They will probably have generic names, e.g. /dev/sdb or so in these commands. To identify specifics about which disk is which, look at something like ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ and see which device they are linked to.

To an enormous extent are todays data centers, cloud providers, and all the techology the whole world use today based on open source. Without linux, curl, ffmpeg, and so on nothing in todays high tech society would work. Google, as it is today, would not exist if it was for all the open source they leech of.

I hope Sweden and more Erupoean contries does the same

Then migration will take years if they already are established in US cloud services

Still, huh? Yeah, that is why I stopped using it too.

How does OTR work on it nowadays, or have XMPP moved to some other encryption?

This is such an important thing to learn when using linux. If you want to be able to rescue your setup and not just reinstall: live usb!

To do a rescue on a system that does not boot, then you may also have to enter your environment and fix things, you do that by chroot. I always forget what steps are necessary, so I always look it up in the gentoo handbook: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Chrooting It is the same principle with any live media.

What did Rutte promise his daddy now?

Look into a distro that you might like, and find a “live usb” of it, often it is the installation media itself. How it works is basically it is a linux already installed on a disk image you transfer to the usb, and tell the computer to boot from it. Instructions on all this usually comes with the live usb media. Then you usually get a “try it out” or “install” option, or it just leaves you at a pre-configured desktop. Click around, install stuff, browse the web, get a feel for it.

She tours foreign countries for clout. She used to be a host for a program on the Swedish far-right party’s Youtube channel. The irony completely lost on them having an immigrant telling them what to think.
