    You use reproducible, read only rootfs (essentially what a “live” distro is, to some extent) because it’s 1, reproducible, so you’re not stuck when the system dies for some weird reason 2, it’s read only meaning nothing will modify it. This gives you a base that is stable, easily reproduced on any host, and isn’t up to the whims of what packages you installed and such.

    NixOS is a good candidate for this approach but you can literally turn any distro into such a base. Though it’s preferred to use one dedicated to such endeavours.

    Nobody said anything about bulk mounting anything though? I said mount your data partitions, because presumably you’d have multiple disks holding your data thus multiple partitions…

    And the fact you’ve been working with Linux for 20+ years and have no fucking clue about why someone would want their rootfs RO or RW makes me seriously worried about the very statement that you worked with Linux for 20 years without an understanding of such a basic OS function.







  • Gotta go back a little further, Victorian women already had vibrators (although quite large contraptions, and usually not kept at home but provided as a service by certain gentlemen to “reduce female hysteria”).

    Hell, the oldest dildo found by archaeologists goes back some 30 thousand years?


  • Except it does work - the base station simply needs to emulate the connectivity check servers. It doesn’t even need to do anything fancy, just route all packets to a locally running microserver that responds to ICMP Echo, HTTP and TCP requests and so on.

    Governments already use this approach for blocking out areas (e.g. during protests) while also grabbing mobile phone IDs and other data, via mobile base stations. The exact same could be applied to the ~10 minutes of takeoff and landing time.






  • That’s… actually somewhat correct. The Bible does instruct Christians to:

    • follow the laws of the country they’re in, even if it goes against the teachings of the Bible
    • not try to change the laws of the country they’re in to closer resemble the rules established in the Bible

    Romans 13:1-7 1 Peter 2:13-17 Matthew 22:21 (albeit this probably has the least prominence)
