Yes that's the recommended path.

As others pointed out it might be a PITA. Depending on your installed software and configuration a new install might be easier.

Hi.

I'm actually amazed how many people comment without having a clue what they are talking about.

What you're describing is not an issue but the fix of an issue 😃

When the kernel boots with the parameter quiet, systemd should get the option systemd.show_status=auto. With this option it should only inform about failures and such like. In current releases this finally works.

To get the old behaviour you just have to add systemd.show_status=true to your kernel parameters.

It's not that difficult to build your own kernel based on the official debian one: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official

Before clicking the link I thought there was a new restic clone/fork out there...

Did the same in python. Ages ago. And again in python half a decade ago. And again in python a few months ago.

Never repeat anything.

They are still developing and selling Sailfish OS. They just stopped making their own hardware.

Well it's not completely useless. It offers some insights into the system. Which service accounts exists, what usernames are used.

If an attacker finds a valid username they can then start bruteforcing the password.

From your account list we can see you have sshd and xrdp. Do they both provide the same kind of bruteforce protection? Are there any recent exploits for either?

Trigger Warnings: depression, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts

Reader discretion is advised.

Hi! I'm Marvin (well here I am Marvin, most people know me under different names), named after a depressed Robot with an immense intellect. I didn't choose the name because of my intellect...

I'm getting paid pretty badly for being a sysadmin (but I don't deal with glasspanes or fruits. Only penguins).

In my free time I sometimes code (mostly python, some webdev stuff, sometimes a little bit Rust), once in a blue moon strum some things on my guitar,go climbing, do some shitty woodworking and loads of other stuff. I think I might have ADHD because it's hard for me to focus on most things and my interest in stuff quickly dwindles. That's why I have loads of unfinished projects or ideas lying around.

I love metal music.

I'm pretty shy and suffer from social anxiety. I've been single most of my life and am kind of a loner.

The two times I've been in relationships were pretty abusive and left me yearning for death, a feeling I had throughout most of my childhood. I think talking to people I find attractive was hard before all that but it feels like nowadays it's impossible. Also I have no clue how to tell if someone is interested in me. I never was. Only in hindsight.

I'm pretty lonely but too scared to do anything about it.

I've been clean and sober for almost 6 years now. Which doesn't help in getting to know people. I know was way more talkative and outgoing when I drank. But I could never stop when I started.

Im in my midthirties and to be honest I still feel like the last years of school were the best time of my life.

I've been through a lot of therapy, which helped me a lot with my confidence and to deal with my thoughts and feelings. I'm a lot better than I've.been most of my life but life still sucks most of the time.

Here is something I could never tell anybody IRL: even though my life is pretty good right now and I have not had any suicidal thoughts in a long time I am pretty sure that I will be the one to end my life. It won't be in the forseeable future but I can't see myself getting old on this rotten planet with so many rotten peaople.

Sorry to be such a downer but it feels great to be honest. And that's something that is really hard for me. Especially to people I care about and that includes myself :)

Hope you all are living your best life out there!

And as some pretty awesome musicians said: Rock on! And be excellent to each other!

Berlin, Germany: we drink water straight from the tap. It's free and delicious. If you don't feel like drinking tap, just drink a "Berliner Rohrperle". It's the same thing with a fancier name, because our tap water is awesome.

Nowadays we even have public drinking fountains dotted around the city.
