I always try to consult the man pages for these kind of questions (you can search by typing '/' in the man page). Here's what the systemctl manual has to say in the specifications for the --force option:
Note that when --force is specified twice the selected operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.
Yeah, I've always found terms like "content" (and by extension "content creator") to be degrading and corporate-focused. It's weird to me that it's such a common way to refer to the work of artists and entertainers online. I don't do anything of the sort, but it's got to be rough being pushed so hard into chasing the algorithms to stay relevant.
I've yet to be disappointed in anything TWRP's put out.
I think they got the nvidia driver accumulation thing straightened out. On Fedora 40, I had it automatically remove a bunch of older versions and now it only lists the 64 and 32 bit versions I expect it to.
$ flatpak list | grep nvidia
nvidia-550-76 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-550-76 1.4 system
nvidia-550-76 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-550-76 1.4 system
I'm not sure about using xml files, but there's also a 'picture-uri-dark' key you need to set instead if you're using dark mode. I have a similar setup with a systemd user timer that runs every 5 minutes.
Edit: I just tried it out in the terminal and it works ok for xml files, too. Also, I try to avoid parsing the output of ls in scripts. You can use find instead, something like
Oh yeah, these guys have some crazy energy they give off. Their live performances are very much like this video, really. Not many bands give you a nunchaku solo.
Not quite the same issue, but similar in the sense that it was caused by a UEFI that didn't conform to spec.
I have an HP laptop that I installed Debian on, and it would never actually boot to grub even though I checked the boot entries several times over. You could open the settings and choose the boot entry manually, so it's not like it was a problem with the OS or with grub. Turned out, this model was hard coded to only allow a boot entry named "Windows Boot Manager" to be loaded by default. I used efibootmgr to rename the debian entry and it booted into grub straight away.
As far as I'm aware, the Truecrypt backdoor thing was speculation regarding the termination of the Truecrypt project, but it was not confirmed. You can see here that development of Truecrypt ceased in 2014. Veracrypt was forked around that time. As for whether or not you can trust it, you'll want to evaluate the audits that have been performed and decide if you trust them. You can find a link to what seems like the latest audit here.
It definitely takes a bit to get used to that, especially on the exhale. I found that it became better over time, especially once I was able to stop focusing on the mask and my breathing. I don't use the ramp up personally, as I find it more comfortable for me. Definitely keep at it, and you should be able to talk to your provider if you keep having issues. I had to go through a few settings/mask types to find the right one.
I've seen OpenMW mentioned (and it's fantastic), but you might want to check out Daggerfall Unity as well. The game's available at no cost, and you can find a zip of the necessary game files on the install guide in the dfworkshop forums.
It's way better than the old DOS version, and it supports mods, too.
