gratitude: creators/maintainers of archinstall (lemmy.world)
 

A rather venerable desktop died with a seagate hard-drive going ticka ticka ticka (bad sectors hitting a /var partition), so a new drive is acquired and perhaps due to the age of the motherboard (>10 year old intel) no partition pattern this old nerd tried would get a new install to boot. So, what the hell, try the 'new' archinstall script. Not only did it get it booting (still not sure how) but hours of patiently re-following arch install was turned into minutes. Thank you to Anton Hvornum the maintainer of archinstall , i owe you a beer and then-some.

Trump Voters Trust Ex-President More Than Their Family and Friends: Poll in c/news@lemmy.world

With the margin of error at the top of the chart of 7.2% that would (1/0.072^2) amount to a mere 193 respondents. While one doesn't doubt that trump followers are severely demented, this chart (who's percentages don't even add to remotely 100%) is likewise.

happy camper: yesterday new systemd really fixed stuff (lemmy.world)
 

For three weeks (since systemd-253.7-1) my system has been full of odd shutdown behaviors...

Failed to move /run/initramfs to /

Failed to switch root to /run/

and then hangs before full shutdown. Last evening's update to systemd-254.1-1 appears to fix it all (and even seems a bit snappier)

Thank you very much to the maintainers! likely: Christian Hesse
