Why hew so closely to the “immutable paradigm” as if it’s a rule? I have a few packages layered on my system to achieve results that flatpak + toolbox cannot. Never had a problem with updates.

Can I leave all my drives connected, plug in a seperate SSD through USB, boot into Nobara live and install on that drive without it affecting my mint install?
Yes. Just double-check every part of the install process so you don’t write to the wrong device.
Also, if I do that will it put the EFI file on the seperate SSD?
Probably yes (depends on the options you pick during the install process). The external drive will get its own boot partition with appropriate EFI files. Then to boot from it, you would select the external drive in your UEFI.
I use rEFInd as my EFI bootloader: It lets me chain load other boot options (external drives) without touching my motherboard UEFI settings. I leave it installed to my main boot partition, but it scans for other bootable partitions at startup. Then it auto-populates a selector list of my main install, or whatever other external devices are plugged in. It can chain load GRUB, other EFI bootloaders, Windows, etc from these devices, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility with whatever bootloader the OS expects to use.

But I’m actually safe: Last month I fried half of my BTRFS array, and decided that instead of recovering the system, I’d rather copy over the relevant data and reinstall Arch from scratch. In doing so, I’ve shed the majority of AUR packages that my old system had. Of the handful of AUR packages on my new system, none were attacked.


You said you don’t want the page to load. Do you even care if the browser opens?
What about overriding the default browser application that the terminal tries to use? Maybe there’s some env variable to override the xdg browser default, and you could point it to a script that exits instantly.


I agree with the person who suggested linking to Wikipedia articles.
For example, it’s not much help to learn that PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, because nobody calls it that. As an outsider, now I’m wondering what a component interconnect is. It’s much more useful to link to a page that gives context about how PCIe is actually used.
Based on your systemd output, it looks like the system is taking a long while to decrypt your drive. Is it a spinning disk, or an SSD?
I’m not sure if the PC repair shop specifically checked your drive, but it might be worth swapping out for another. Or maybe run some speed tests and/or diagnostics to see if there’s something funky going on.
You could also try an unencrypted install to see if the problem persists.


I set up a very straightforward Godot dev environment yesterday using toolbox which is built on top of rootless Podman.
The nice thing about toolbox is that it uses my native host Wayland compositor. So whatever I have running in the toolbox can be interacted normally through sway (my host WM).
You can either distribute a container image with your given toolbox configured, or just document the setup steps.


What you’re looking for is a revocation key. You can generate one in GPG at the same time that you generate your identity key. The method of securing it is up to you. In your example, a simple way would be to encrypt it with the 5 sequential keys. Or you could break the revocation key up into K parts with Shamir’s secret sharing algorithm.
This example assumes that you’re using existing Web of Trust PKI to manage your public keys: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59664526/how-the-correct-way-to-revoke-gpg-on-key-server#62644875
Firstly, discord is entirely the wrong medium for documentation.
Secondly, documentation should be at least as accessible as the code. That is to say, if I can view the code without creating an account for some service, then I should also be able to read the documentation too.
Calibre is an ebook library manager with a reader built-in. Koreader is purely reader software, and it works particularly well on touch and eink screens.
