This one massively collided with the average social media victim's absurdity filter, it seems. On reddit it most likely would have got you banned. People tend to destroy, hate or ban what they don't understand...
You think means you're assuming and relying on assumptions for critical options is deadly: Unless you're adding the "noerror" option to the referring line in /etc/fstab the machine will fail to boot.
Did you delete it or comment it out in /etc/fstab? Adding
bash
noresume
to your boot arguments should also help. You can try that out in "extended options" during boot and add it to /boot/grub/grub.cfg later. Don't forget to run
...supposed you're using a distro that isn't broken, of course. You can't drive a car that doesn't start, either. You're using an exception to prove the general case. That's not a valid argument.
Faraday cages don't protect against specific malware. They block electromagnetic radiation or communication in general. The idea is to keep your phone inside as long as you are in a potentionally compromised net.
They'll definitely protect against real time attacks and fake cell towers as long as your phone stays in the bag while you're in potentially hostile territory. Silent SMS or SMS from outside that might be spiked with malware by the local government won't work if you're outside.
How would you fuck up your machine by installing packages? Hell, get a reasonable package manager and package installation frontend (and a reasonable brain between your ears if that's the problem). I can't see how anyone might get their machines into an useless or unbootable state considering that any useful package manager (even minimalist ones like aptitude or blank apt-get) will inform you what it's going to install and unistall. If I see, that my choice is going to remove the complete DIE I am using plus X, or even GRUB, I lknow there's something wrong with my selection and abort.
Banks’s first SF novel - pretty good though I didn't find the main character especially likable.
LOL. I don't think the main character was meant to be likeable at all. Killing your sandbox friends and... uh, the rest of the story is as complicated as it is perverse... whatever, it's certainly not a "likeable" or even remotely reproducable thing. It's at best a hint of the main character being batshit crazy. Consider Phlebas, BTW, is widely considered Bank's weakest SF novel which doesn't mean it's bad but that the rest of his work was a lot better. Anyway, I think if you liked Gibson you'll hardly dislike Banks.
Hmmm. Sounds strange but interesting and I've got all the ingredients at hand. Only thing missing is the right outside temperature. Frappé at 12°C kina sucks.
